It’s been a long old while since we’ve seen a high-end Samsung NVMe SSD and it has certainly been worth the wait as the SSD980 PRO has put the company firmly back in the spotlight in the high performance consumer market space.
The sprint performance of the 980 Pro is fantastic, but current NAND technology has its limits for extended operations. With the need for specific PC hardware and the high cost per GB, this solution is only for those who aren’t budget constrained.
The Samsung 980 Pro is the NVMe SSD you want--if you're rocking PCIe 4 (Ryzen-exclusive as of this writing). For more common PCIe 3-equipped systems, it's still a great drive, but not significantly better than the lower-priced competition.
