expensive

Samsung uses two NAND chips and a DRAM module with 1 GB for the Pro version of the 980, which makes the SSD much faster than the entry-level version. It is one of the top performers in the synthetic benchmarks, but does not quite reach the values of the Cardea A440. The big advantage of the 980 Pro over the other PCIe 4.0 SSDs is its low heat build-up...

Among the 2.5-inch SSDs, the Samsung 870 QVO took first place with very high speed and very good programme acceleration. This also applies to the first-placed PCIe 3.0 SSD: The SK Hynix Gold P31 not only took the test victory, but also the price-performance victory. The Samsung 990 Pro did the same with the PCIe 4.0 SSDs: It also achieved the test and price-performance victory here...

Excellent reading performance

Top price-performance ratio

A touch weaker than the best 2-TByte-SSD

The Samsung 980 PRO 2TB shines in the test with very strong performance values, above all with excellent read performance. With 2,000 GBytes, the M.2 SSD also offers a decent capacity. The memory bar does not require a heat sink, supports PCIe 4.0 and the price-performance ratio is excellent for the capacity.

fast
little heating

The differences in the synthetic measurements are large, but they blur in the practical benchmarks. A fast and expensive SSD is only worthwhile if you also use it, for a simple office PC a cheap SSD with PCIe 3.0 is sufficient. However, if you only look at the performance and only consider the SSDs from this test, you can hardly get past the Acer Predator; the Adata Legend 840 and the HP FX900 follow...
