Why I ordered this item: I'm trying to breathe new life into an old computer that only has PCIe 3.0 and I needed a new drive. This was pretty much the top tier drive in its day, so I felt confident it would be a good option for me to use in this rebuilt gaming PC for my kid. Likes: * Install of NVMe drives is super easy. Plug it in, screw it in (don't lose the screw!) and install your OS. Connectivity is easy, and this will work on boards with newer PCIe versions too. * My computer detected it with no issues at all. I was able to install Windows easily. * It doesn't run anywhere near as hot as new drives, so no heatsink needed! It gets a little warm during operation, but I monitor my drives with software and it's not anywhere close to this drive's max temp. * Power consumption is almost neglible! * Speeds are excellent. Samsung truly was a leader with this drive and it still almost totally maxes out NVMe 3.0. * This is not super important, but it looks totally awesome. The label is so classy. No likes: * None Would I pay full price for this product: Yes, even at these inflated prices. Final thoughts: Maybe someday SSDs won't cost 4x what they did a year ago, but I'm still very happy with this drive and I can whole heartedly recommend it if you don't need PCIe 4 or 5.

Memory Storage Capacity: 500 GB
The Samsung 980 (500GB) is a powerhouse for anyone looking to boost their PC's performance without breaking the bank on PCle 4.0 drives. Here's my experience: Performance: Even though it's DRAMless, Samsung's HMB (Host Memory Buffer) technology makes it feel incredibly fast. Boot times are nearly instant, and large file transfers are Consistent. @+1 Sequential Speeds: I clocked it close to the advertised 3,100 MB/s read and 2,600 MB/s write on CrystalDiskMark. It handles multitasking and gaming load times with ease. Thermals: The nickel coating on the controller and the heat spreader label actually work. Even under heavy load, it stayed remarkably cool, which is crucial for maintaining longevity in compact builds. Software: The Samsung Magician software is the best in the business. It makes cloning your old drive, monitoring health, and updating firmware a breeze. Verdict: f you are upgrading from a SATA SSD or an older HDD, the difference is night and day. It's a reliable, high-performance drive from a brand you can trust. Excellent value for mid-range builds.

Been using Samsung products ever since I swapped to SSDs. They are the best and provide reliable performance. I concurrently own the 850 EVO, 960 Pro, 960 EVO, 970 EVO Plus, 980 Pro and now the 980 all at 1 TB storage capacities. Each of them have been blazing fast, significantly faster than standard SATA SSD's. Clearly the 980 is an excellent NVMe drive. I cloned this ssd just using it for a backup drive. Currently I use 980 Pro. Actually I really cannot tell the difference between these two on a PCIE 3.0 motherboard. With a Asus ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming PCIE 3.0 motherboard, this SSD is stupid fast. Very happy with the performance. I agreed with the argument that NVMe PCI Express Gen 4 drives would likely not really make a huge difference over a fast the PCIe Gen3 SSD drives. I know PCIe Gen5 SSD is not far behind. Also the drives obviously cost more. When connected through the M.2 to USB NVMe SSD Adapter, it could not be initialized. When I tried to initialize hard drive via Disk Management and receive error message such as “This request cannot be completed because of an I/O device error” or “The device is not ready”. The is something wrong with the hard drive connection cable or adapter. M.2 NVMe Interface Internal SSD drive is easily initialized in m.2 slot on motherboard. This also needs to be installed in the M.2 slot closest to the CPU which has a direct connection to the CPU. Using EaseUS Software, I imaged my existing 980 Pro 3-partition hard drive onto this SSD and it booted perfect and have not had a single problem.

I bought my wife a Lenovo ideapad 3 - 15ITL05 laptop last year. Was working normally then, out of nowhere, we got locked out of the computer. After many tiring attempts at trying to get into Windows, we discovered that a Windows app named BitLocker was enabled and keeping us from getting into the system. We tried finding the key to unlock it, no luck. Tried to clean install Windows 11 and Windows 10, no luck. So finally, I opened it up, removed the factory drive (128 gb NVMe M.2) and ordered this masterpiece. Installation was very easy, had to go into BIOS and disable Intel VMD to be able to select the drive in the Windows installation prompt, then proceeded to install Windows 10 Home 64-bit. I went with Windows 10 because this computer is low-end and I thought it would be more efficient. After the install and setting up some apps like Chrome and installing some drivers, I did a restart. And O-M-G, this thing went from the push of the power button to the desktop screen in about 6 seconds flat. At just $65, Amazon and Samsung has come through for me to no disappointment. Will be ordering more of these 1 tb monsters. Easy, cheap and super effective.

I bought one of these Samsung 1TB sticks about a year ago, and BAMM!! My laptop's read and write times got 6 times faster than the SATA SSD I was running... Windows loaded in mere seconds, vs. a minute... It doesn't sound like much, but as I advance in age toward my 60th year, A MINUTE IS A MINUTE SAVED... So when I saw this same model for $25 cheaper than the first one, I jumped on it... I bought it for my desktop I built 6 months ago... You just can't beat these Samsungs... I can't believe I can fit 1TB on this tiny stick... I still remember my first hard drive I ever had... It was an IOMEGA 30MB (yes, that's megabytes) for a Macintosh Plus... It was as big as a half-height cinder block, and had a cable as big around as my thumb (Centronics SCSI, I think)... Anyway, for gaming, how about NO LAG... Games load and play instantaneously, even the largest games... The 3 stars for EASY TO INSTALL has nothing to do with the stick itself... It's about my motherboard... The NVMe socket is located directly behind my video card... So when I was cloning OLD to NEW, I had to remove the video card, swap the sticks, and replace the video card... Because of the learning curve (screw-ups) of the cloning software I chose, that process took me 4 tries to get it right... Word of advice: If you choose to clone your NVMe stick, and you only have 1 slot on your motherboard, MAKE AN IMAGE of what you plan to clone first, and save it somewhere else... If you screw-up the cloning process, you'll have the image to try it again... Oh, by the way, you'll need to buy an external enclosure for the new stick for the cloning procedure... It's the only way to do it when you've only got 1 slot on the motherboard... When the process is complete, put the old stick into the enclosure, and you'll have it to transfer/share files with your buddies, or for permanent backup... GOOD DAY...
