Pros and cons

According to our solid state drive (SSD) expert
  • The 980 Pro has a high read speed of 6400MB/s, so you can start your computer and applications super fast.
  • Thanks to the 512MB cache, you can also open frequently used files and programs faster.
  • You get a 5-year manufacturer's warranty from Samsung on this SSD.
  • With a 500GB storage capacity, your SSD will be full soon if you store a lot of large games, so we recommend at least 1TB for a game library.
  • If you want to use this SSD for your PS5, Sony recommends you to purchase a heatsink.

Description

Note: this M.2 SSD has a PCI Express 4.0 x4 (NVMe) interface and will only work if your system supports PCIe/NVMe. Make sure to check this in the manual of your laptop or motherboard.

With the Samsung 980 Pro 500GB, you can transfer files very quickly. This M.2 SSD uses PCIe 4.0, which ensures a high read speed of 6400MB/s. As a result, your PC boots quickly, your files open in a flash, and it takes less time to load your games. The write speed of 5000MB/s ensures that you download and transfer files 10 times faster with the 980 Pro than on a standard 2.5-inch SATA SSD. For example, you can store a game of 100GB on your SSD in 30 seconds. Thanks to 512MB cache, you can open frequently used files even faster. The Samsung 980 Pro has a TBW of 150TB. So on average, you write 150TB of data before the SSD gives up. You get a 5-year manufacturer's warranty from Samsung with this SSD.

SSD plagued with reliability uncertainty

  • Any reliability issues

As always, I bought an SSD from Coolblue because of the good service, attractive price and good communication. It concerns the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD with heatsink. However, just after purchase, let news become known of many copies of this that spontaneously break, as can be read here on the website of Tweakers: https://tweakers.net/nieuws/206236/samsung-raadt-aan-980-pro-ssds- update-to-bug-making-drives-read-only.html

The funny thing is that Coolblue couldn't possibly have known this for itself. As we can read everywhere now, it is very important to install the latest firmware version on this SSD as soon as possible: 5B2QGXA7. This can be done via https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/

The funny thing is that maybe there are people like me who buy this SSD for their PS5 and don't have a free NVMe M2 port on their PC or laptop. Then upgrading firmware is impossible. I think it is important for Coolblue to include this information with this model from now on and / or to contact Samsung, asking whether models that are now being delivered are now equipped with this new firmware (I have already done this myself and still waiting for an answer, if I can update this review with new information I will do so immediately).

That is why I have given reliability 2 stars for the time being and cannot recommend the product so far.

  • Description

Don't be fooled by the "Summary Specifications". It states that the 1TB variant has a Max Write Speed of 2700 MB/s and a Maximum Read Speed of 6400 MB/s - this is not correct. See below:

1tb = 7000MB/s max read & 5000MB/s max write
500gb = 6900MB/s max read speed & 5000MB/s max write speed
250gb = 6400 MB/s max read speed & 2700 MB/s max write speed

You can also find this in the Manual that you can download.
