Samsung 980 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD

The Samsung 980 500GB SSD is an internal storage device built on the M.2 2280 form factor. It leverages the PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface and implements the NVMe 1.4 protocol to maximize data throughput. This configuration facilitates sequential read speeds reaching 3100 MB/s and sequential write performance up to 2600 MB/s, positioning it for use in modern client systems and performance laptops requiring fast primary storage.

The drive integrates Samsung’s proprietary Pablo controller paired with V-NAND 3-bit MLC flash memory. Reliability specifications include an endurance rating of 300 TBW and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1.5 million hours. For data security, the unit supports hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption and includes mechanisms for end-to-end data protection, operating at a typical voltage of 3.3V.
