    Decent M2 SSD drive
    5 out of 5 stars
    Decent M2 SSD drive
    Upgraded from Samsung 960EVO 500GB to 980PRO 1TB - mainly due to capacity constrains rather than speed.Tested both drives (results attached) - main difference is in writing performance, my read performance has not really changed however this is due to my motherboard constraints rather than drive itself.For any operations including gaming it is more tan I can expect.Some of the games I play require loads of loading, for example Baldurs Gate 3 - I had it on installed on HDD and it was terrible idea, too much time wasted on just waiting game to load, SSD was a massive improvement.Bottom Line - I am happy with the purchase, could have gone for 990PRO model but my current PC setup would not allow me to see speed improvement so I ahve stayed with cheaper 980PRO model.

    As a dedicated tech enthusiast and PS5 owner, I had the opportunity to test and experience the Samsung 980 PRO NVMe SSD, and it has unequivocally proven itself as the quintessential storage upgrade for Sony's gaming console.

    Compatibility and Installation: The Samsung 980 PRO seamlessly integrates with the PS5, thanks to its M.2 NVMe form factor. Installation is not complicated but you need to be confortable with this kind of operations.

    To install it in your PS5, you will need to follow these steps:

    -Install the heatsink to the SSD
    -Turn off your PS5 and unplug it from the power outlet.
    -Remove the side panel of your PS5.
    -Locate the M.2 expansion slot.
    -Remove the screw that secures the M.2 expansion slot cover.
    -Carefully remove the M.2 expansion slot cover.
    -Insert the Samsung 980 PRO into the M.2 expansion slot carefully but firmly. Make sure that the connector is facing the correct way before pushing.
    -Secure the Samsung 980 PRO with the screw that you removed in step 4.
    -Replace the M.2 expansion slot cover and the side panel of your PS5.
    -Turn on your PS5 and follow the on-screen instructions to format the Samsung 980 PRO.

    Performance Boost with PCIe 4.0: Leveraging the PCIe 4.0 interface, the 980 PRO delivers blistering data transfer speeds. This translates to dramatically reduced load times for games and applications. In my tests there is no difference between the internal ssd and this one.

    Heat Management and Heatsink Compatibility: Thermal management is critical for maintaining consistent performance, especially during prolonged gaming sessions. I wisely paired the 980 PRO with an effective heatsink, which complemented its intelligent thermal control. The combination managed to keep temperatures well within the optimal range, preventing any instances of thermal throttling.
    I used this heatsink:
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08QD93S3F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

    1TB Capacity: Offering a capacious 1TB of storage, the 980 PRO is more than adequate for housing an extensive game library. It provides the freedom to install a multitude of titles without fretting over storage constraints.

    Overall Verdict: In conclusion, the Samsung 980 PRO NVMe SSD is a really good choice for the PS5. Its compatibility, performance, and robust thermal management make it a stellar choice for enhancing your gaming experience.

    I bought this for my PS5.

    I'm currently using the (PS5) beta firmware and one of the enabled features was the activation of the m.2 port. I wasn't lacking in available space as there is not a real lot of ps5 games released that actually interest me, I was getting by with my 4tb external drive and the stupidly small amount of internal SSD space on the console itself but I figured I would go ahead and buy a drive anyway.

    Sony recommend you attach a heatsink to your nvme drive if it doesn't come with one as standard,

    After looking at factory heatsink nvme drives specifically the WD-Black SN850 1tb, it became apparent you pay a heafty price on top for the heatsink, At the time of writing it was £150 for the 1tb WD black and £235 for the same drive with a heatsink attached, probably hiked in price due to a Sony guy tweeting it was his drive of choice.

    Anyway I decided to buy the 980-pro (this drive). It was marginally more than the SN850 and I'm presuming other people were showing interest as Amazon's price algorithm jumped from £176 to £188 (then back down to £179 immediately after I bought it).. thanks for that, just my luck.

    The heatsink I paired it with was the 'EZDIY-FAB M.2 2280 heatsink' (ASIN: B086X79CSN).
    £11.99 at the time of writing this.

    Installing the heatsink and installing the drive was really straight forward, it fits in the bay nice and snug and the cover screws back down fine.
    The drive installs (into the PS5) Samsung label/chip side up (facing you/installation door), so install the heatsink accordingly.

    I have a external harddrive for PS4 titles which I will continue to use.
    I moved all my ps5 titles from the console SSD to the m.2 and set the console to install to that drive from here on in.

    I have been playing pretty long and hard today and not noticed any laggy frames (apart from a little screen tearing on AC: Valhalla, which happened occasionally when using the built in SSD)
    Overall load times and performance is no different than the Sony SSD.

    I do think the prices are outrageous, £350/450 for 2tb and the best part of a grand for a 4tb, hopefully the prices will come down in time, but as demand increases (when the firmware goes public). It wouldn't surprise me if they get worse before they get better.

    The SN850 is a little cheaper (none heatsink) and maybe a better choice.
    Both drives offer the same limited warranty (5years or 600TB written, whichever comes first).

    I can't think of anything else to say, I should of taken a few pictures before I closed/plugged in my ps5. I will maybe open it up and take a few in the next few days..

    Edit: There seems to be misinformation floating around regarding the removal of the Samsung sticker, It's my opinion that you should not do this for two reasons..
    1. It's a thermal sticker designed to redistribute the heat, so it's only going to help the tape/heatsink.
    2. More importantly removing this will void your (Samsung) warranty.
    Of course in the end the choice is yours.

    Buy with confidence!
    I hope this review helps in some way.

    Not much to this item really. It's a solid state drive. Arrives in a neat little box well protected. Easy to install, literally just clips into place, no SATA or power cables as with SSDs.
    This has been installed into the latest Ryzen 7000 series, DDR5 system to take advantage of new faster PCIe.
    The NVMe drive works flawlessly and comprehensively outperforms all the other drives in the system, including Evo 970Plus, Evo 870 Pro, and Crucial M500. The performance of this 980 Pro is outstanding. It doesn't suffer from slow down on large files like the Crucial drive does, and it's generally at least twice as fast as the Evo 970Plus.
    The Windows 11 system feels instantaneous, whatever you ask is done without any kind of lag. I highly recommend this drive not only because it is sooooo fast but also very good value.

    I got 6600/7000 Mbps in reading and 4600/5000 Mbps in writing, which is very good. Of course, the temperature and the PC specs affect the performance, but 6600 out of 7000 writing Mbps is very good for me, and the temperature is always between 30 and 40 degrees, which is perfect for the speed I’m getting.

    I used the Samsung Magician software to clone my old SSD, and everything worked easily and perfectly. I didn’t face any issues, thankfully. I set it to full performance mode, and it’s pretty much good and fast—nothing to say other than that.

    Go for the 990 Pro, the newer version of the Samsung SSD, if you want more speed. The price is almost the same, but for me, this is just perfect and all I need.
