**1tb version**this generation, samsung used 3-bit tlc flash instead of the 2-bit mlc used on the 970 pro. This still results in superior iops, read/writes. I did three runs back to back for a quick torture test and the results are pretty close to what was advertised other than the iops. Those were underwhelming compared to samsung’s claims of 1000k versus the 700k achieved. Premium price aside, i would suggest this to anyone moving lots of data around frequently and/or want the latest and greatest samsung has to offer in the gen. Alternatively, the 970 evo plus is excellent for those looking for a less expensive but well performing gen. Fyi: operating system load times and responsiveness will vary depending on your pc’s specifications and should be put into consideration when buying a high-end product like this one.
I received and installed the drive today. I used a third-party software that cloned my 960 evo with bitlocker onto my 980 pro. I did a speedtest with crystaldiskmark and samsung magician. The results are in the screenshot. I don’t know how long this will hold up in the long run, but i trust that a samsung drive will last. I did get a little under the advertised speeds. I installed the drive on my asus x570 crosshair viii formula with a ryzen 3900xupdate: i ran a speedtest on jan 4, 2021 and found that my write speeds have dropped to 1100mbps.
So the promise of these has fallen short – can’t have a true ‘pro’ if you skimp to 3-bit nand from 2-bit. The previous generation is a better bet, without the price premium. Real world performance as well as lifetime are worse here.
With the cloning software from samsung, the task of cloning my hard drive was quick and streamlined. My times from power on to desktop then to launch a program drastically changed. From a 2tb seagate firecuda, it took up to 10 minutes to start steam from powering it on. With the 1tb 980 pro,it took a maximum of 45 seconds from powering it on. Games load nearly instantly. There is nothing bad i can say about this product. Direct upgrade from my 970 evo plus.
These things are lightning fast in a pci express 4. 0 environment, if your looking at an amd threadripper cpu. I just installed two of these 1tb ssd m. 2x cards in an asus zeneth ii extreme trx40 motherboard and they are insanely fast and have had zero trouble. Do not forget to download samsung magician so you can keep these up to date firmware wise and keep them trimed(defragged). I swear these cards are like running programs from ddr4 memory dimms and not harddrives. They really speed up the entire system os experience. I highly recommend using windows 10 pro and if you get a high core amd chip, upgrade to windows 10 pro for workstations to take advantage of your high core count.

I have had great results and stability thus far from my previous two samsung 980 pro m2x drives. No issues at all and super fast in a pci- express 4.
