About This Product
The Samsung 980 Pro 500GB is an M.2 NVMe SSD utilizing PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, offering sequential read speeds up to 6,900 MB/s and write speeds up to 5,000 MB/s. This makes it suitable for high-performance computing, content creation, and gaming where rapid load times are critical. While faster than PCIe Gen 3 drives, its 500GB capacity may be limiting for some users, and it competes with other high-end PCIe Gen 4 SSDs.
Verdict
“Ideal for users needing fast storage for OS, games, or applications on a PCIe Gen 4 system.”
