Maximum Speed

The 980 PRO is optimized for speed with Samsung's Elpis controller, tailored for the PCIe 4.0 SSD. It ensures read speeds of up to 7000 MB/s, making it twice as fast as PCIe 3.0 SSDs and 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs. The 980 PRO achieves maximum speed using PCIe 4.0, and performance may vary in different environments.

^{* Performance may vary depending on the SSD firmware version, as well as system hardware and configuration. Performance measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0. Write performance metrics were measured with the Intelligent TurboWrite technology enabled. Sequential write performance for Intelligent TurboWrite regions is as follows: up to 500 MB/s (250 GB), 1000 MB/s (500 GB), and 2000 MB/s (1 TB).}

^{* Tested system configuration: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core processor CPU@3.79 GHz, DDR4 2666 MHz 16 GB x 2, OS-Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, motherboard ASUS-X570-ROG CROSSHAIR VIII FORMULA.}

^{* Results are based on comparisons with Samsung PCIe 3.0 NVMe™ SSD and SATA SSD.}
