Model overview based on user reviews  
The Samsung 980 PRO SSD is highly praised for its exceptional speed and performance, making it one of the fastest and most advanced SSDs on the market. Users appreciate its ability to quickly load operating systems and large applications, with some noting Windows starts in just a few seconds. However, a common concern is its tendency to overheat, especially without a heatsink, which is strongly recommended for optimal performance. The SSD is considered expensive by some, but many believe it is worth the investment for those who need high-speed data processing. Compatibility with PCI-E 4.0 is highlighted as a benefit, although users caution that it may not be necessary for all setups, particularly if not paired with high-end motherboards like the X570. Overall, while the Samsung 980 PRO is a powerful SSD, potential buyers should consider their system's cooling capabilities and whether they can fully utilize its speed.

taking 1TV, with and without a radiator, or better yet, one with a radiator.

Only take this with a radiator if you don't want your PC to overheat.
softness, yakness
without a heatsink, this SSD drive heats up so MUCH that it feels like this thing could get hotter than hell.
Take only mothers under 570 and above!

Guys or ladies!!! If you DO NOT have mothers from 570 and above, where PISIai 4.0 is JUST starting to work normally, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO TAKE IT! Take without Pro with 2500-3000 km.h
a company worthy of attention in terms of quality
It gets hot, but X570 and higher have their excellent heatsinks, so for me this is not significant

Great item for work

An excellent SSD for working with large volumes of data. It is installed under a good heatsink. During long-term operation, it heats up to 60 degrees, which is not a problem for the controller or the memory chips. It does not throttle. I recommend it to everyone who needs it. For games and just to "MAKE WINDOWS LOAD FAST," such speed is unnecessary.
Amazing speed on PCIe 4.0
Price may be an issue for some

Version with heatsink specially for PS5

As soon as Sony gave the go-ahead to install external SSDs in the PS5 console in the fall of 2021, Samsung immediately jumped in and announced an update to its Evo line - in particular, special versions of the Evo 980 PRO drive with a heatsink. Indeed, it would be strange if the company's flagship drives, which until recently were a beacon for the industry, would be left out of such a promising market.

One of the fastest SSDs on the market

Otherwise, this is the same well-known M.2 SSD of the 2280 form factor with one-sided mounting of components on a printed circuit board. Its SSD 980 PRO performance is optimized using Samsung's proprietary Elpis controller, designed with the new PCI-U 4.0 bus in mind. The use of Elpis in combination with TLC's select 128-layer 3D V-NAND flash memory has achieved impressive linear read speeds up to 7000 Mbps. At the same time, the linear recording speed reaches 5000MB/s. Add in benchmark IOPS (1000k writes + 800k writes), 1GB of buffer memory, a five-year warranty, and you have one of the most advanced SSDs on the market.

Not a revolution, but an evolution

Some reviewers berated the 980 PRO for not being innovative enough. Say, before it was hoo, but now like everyone else. From our point of view, this is a plus. For comparison, the fastest model from the EVO series, running on the PCIe 3.0 bus, physically could not deliver more than 3500 MB / s in synthetic tests, and in reality it worked clearly slower. The 980 PRO has essentially been upgraded with little bloodshed, which is why for once it can be called affordable. For a 1 TB version of the 980 PRO with a heatsink, they are now asking for about $250, which is a little more expensive than conventional A-Data drives and significantly cheaper than the critically acclaimed Seagate FireCuda 530 drive.
