Samsung 980 PRO 2 TB (MZ-V8P2T0BW)

The Samsung 980 PRO is a line of high-performance NVMe SSDs in M.2 2280 form factor, designed for users who need high speeds for gaming, video editing, graphics work, workstations, and overall system acceleration. The entire Samsung 980 PRO series uses the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, NVMe 1.3c protocol, Samsung's proprietary Elpis controller, Samsung V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory, and DRAM cache, making these drives full-featured high-speed models rather than budget DRAM-less solutions. The Samsung 980 PRO lineup includes capacities of 250 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB, with maximum speeds across the series reaching up to 7000 MB/s read and up to 5100 MB/s write depending on capacity. The 1 TB and 2 TB models also deliver random operations up to 1,000,000 IOPS, which is critical for demanding workloads, fast application launch, and system responsiveness. Samsung 980 PRO supports TRIM, S.M.A.R.T., AES 256-bit encryption, TCG/Opal, IEEE 1667, Samsung Magician software, and backward compatibility with PCIe 3.0, making it suitable for installation in both modern Gen4 platforms and older systems with room for future upgrades.
