Packed with Speed

GET RIGHT TO IT
The 980 harnesses nearly all the speed advantages of PCIe 3.0 through HMB technology and dramatic NVMe efficiency. The DRAM-less design delivers exceptional value, achieving breakneck sequential read/write speeds up to 3,500/3,000 MB/s*, over 6.2x the speed of SATA SSDs.

* Performance may vary depending on the SSD’s firmware version, system and hardware configuration. Performance measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0. The write performances were measured with Intelligent TurboWrite technology activated. Intelligent TurboWrite operates only within a specific data transfer size.

Reliable Thermal Control

DURABLE NICKEL COATING
High-performance SSDs usually require high-performance thermal control. fOR stable performance, the 980 uses nickel coating to manage the controller’s heat level and a heat spreader label to deliver effective thermal control of the NAND chip.

Automatic Protection with a Smart Thermal Solution

DYNAMIC THERMAL GUARD
Embedded with Samsung’s cutting-edge thermal control algorithm, the 980 manages heat on its own to deliver durable and reliable performance. To minimise performance fluctuations in the long haul, Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology maintains the 980’s temperature at optimal levels.
