The Samsung 980 is a PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2 2280 solid-state drive, a DRAM-less drive built for everyday speed rather than workstation loads. Its 1TB model reads up to about 3,500 MB/s and writes up to about 3,000 MB/s, with sequential performance close to pricier drives but random and sustained writes behind Samsung's own 970 EVO. It suits laptop and desktop upgrades, game libraries and general use where the board has an M.2 slot and PCIe 3.0 or newer. Reviewers rate it as a reliable, cool-running everyday drive; owners of heavy write workloads are better served by a DRAM-equipped model.

Reviewers treat the 980 as a solid everyday NVMe drive: fast sequential reads, low heat and Samsung reliability. The common complaint is the DRAM-less design, which shows in random and sustained write tests against the 970 EVO and PCIe 4.0 rivals.
