Samsung 980 1TB NVMe SSD

The Samsung 980 1TB drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor and a PCIe 3.0 x4 link with NVMe 1.4. It is built for consumer desktops and laptops that need fast solid-state storage without a DRAM cache.

PCIe 3.0 x4 interface limits

The PCIe 3.0 x4 connection caps sequential throughput at the drive's rated 3500 MBps read and 3000 MBps write. Random performance reaches 500,000 IOPS read and 480,000 IOPS write at QD32, while idle power sits at 45 mW and active power averages 4.6W.

1TB capacity with 600 TBW endurance

The 1TB V-NAND 3-bit MLC array is rated for 600 TBW and a 1.5 million hour MTBF. AES 256-bit encryption, TRIM, S.M.A.R.T. and auto garbage collection protect data integrity. The controller operates from 0°C to 70°C and withstands 1500G shock.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1TB 980 or a different capacity?

The 1TB model delivers up to 3500 MBps read and 3000 MBps write with 600 TBW endurance, making it a balanced choice for most consumer workloads.

What does the 3500 MBps sequential read mean once the drive is installed?

In a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot the drive can sustain up to 3500 MBps on large-file transfers, though real-world speeds depend on system cooling and workload.

How does the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.4 interface limit performance?

The four-lane Gen 3 link caps theoretical throughput near 3500 MBps, so the 980 reaches the interface ceiling on sequential reads.
