Samsung’s 980 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD With PCIe 4.0 Can Deliver 5,000MBps Write Speeds

Samsung has taken care of the thermals by making use of a nickel coating on the controller as well as a heat spreader label on the backside of the SSD as opposed to relying on an external copper heatsink. To further maintain the drive temperatures there is Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology that is said to help in minimizing performance fluctuations. Customers also get a 5-year warranty on the new 980 Pro SSD.

It will be available in 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB storage models while the 2TB variant will be coming later this year. Pricing is said to start at $89 (~Rs 6,500) although official India pricing has not been confirmed nor is the availability. Also, it is worth noting that PCIe 4.0 is not supported across all platforms, hence it is best to check your system before buying this new super-fast SSD.
