Samsung 980 PRO 2TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD for Workstation & SMB

PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSDs are the current storage standard for professional workstations, high-performance computing environments, and gaming systems requiring high sequential and random access bandwidth, and the Samsung 980 PRO 2TB (MZ-V8P2T0BW) delivers this with a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and M.2 2280 form factor. The drive is deployed in PCIe 4.0-compatible desktop and laptop systems, PlayStation 5 consoles, and workstation environments where low latency and sustained transfer speeds are operational requirements.

The Samsung 980 PRO 2TB uses the proprietary Samsung Elpis 8-channel controller paired with sixth-generation V-NAND 3-bit (TLC) memory and a 1 GB LPDDR4 cache for efficient transfer management. Sequential speeds reach up to 7,000 MB/s read and 3,470 MB/s write for the 2TB variant, with random performance of up to 680K IOPS read and 630K IOPS write. Intelligent TurboWrite dynamically extends the SLC cache zone to sustain peak speeds during large-volume transfers. An integrated thermal control system maintains consistent performance under sustained load. Power consumption ranges from 0.035W at idle to 8.9W under maximum load.

The PCIe 4.0 x4 interface delivers twice the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0, with backward compatibility for PCIe 3.0 systems. The M.2 2280 form factor is compatible with modern laptops, desktops, workstations, and PlayStation 5. AES 256-bit hardware encryption with IEEE 1667 and TCG Opal 2.0 support provides enterprise-grade data security. Samsung's warranty covers 5 years or 1,200 TBW (Terabytes Written), whichever limit is reached first.

The Samsung 980 PRO 2TB targets creative professionals working with RAW video and uncompressed media pipelines, developers operating database and compilation-intensive environments, gamers requiring reduced load times with expanded storage capacity, and users upgrading from SATA or PCIe 3.0 platforms seeking a substantial performance increase for data-intensive workloads.
