Equipped with Speed
Get to work right away. The 980 utilizes almost all the speed advantages of PCIe 3.0, through HMB technology and dramatic NVMe efficiency. The DRAM-free design delivers exceptional value, achieving insane read/write speeds of up to 3,500/3,000 MB/s*, more than 6.2x faster than SATA SSDs.
* Performance may vary depending on SSD hardware version, system, and hardware settings. Performance measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0 results. Write performance was measured with Intelligent TurboWrite technology activated. Intelligent TurboWrite works only within a specific data transfer volume. For more detailed information, please contact your local service center. * Test system settings: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz, DDR4 2133MHz 8GBx2, OS-Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Asrock Z-170 Extreme7+ * Results are based on comparisons with Samsung SATA SSDs. * HMB (Host Memory Buffer) technology allows the SSD to utilize DRAM in the host system for acceleration.
