Works well for PCI e3 slots. Easy to install, BUT screw for NVME slot not provided in the package, you have to get it from somewhere. After installation, formatting etc, is easy. Migrated OS and software from Samsung SATA SSD to this NVME SSD using the Samsung Magician software, all transfer done completely, and data secured. OS and software works faster. Good deal.

I already own multiple nvme drives but none of them are considered cheap except my SN570 which i got for like 4.3K while this i got for 5.1K but but but, this 980 is way better than my cheapo SN570 in many ways, currently using it a secondary boot volume for my main PC as i always do dusl booting with windows and Linux it’s handling the workload nicely. No issues faced so far, genuinely recommended to everyone.
My existing setup is as follows: Laptop: Legion y740 15inch with RTX2070 MaxQ HDD: 1TB 2.5 inch (7mm) 7200rpm (stock) SSD: 128GB m.2 NVMe Pcie 2242 m+b key (stock) with Win10Home
Wanted to upgrade both the: A.) existing 1TB 7200 rpm HDD as well as the B.) 128GB m.2 NVMe pcie SSD
With:
A.) 2TB Samsung 870 EVO 2.5inch SATA SSD B.) 1TB Samsung 980 m.2 (2280) NVMe pcie SSD m key (for Win10 OS).
As i only use the Lenovo Legion y740 15″ for gaming purpose so with games having humongous download sizes, 1TB HDD was filling up faster (was left with only 250GB of 1TB space) and also the 7200rpm drive was real slow for game load times (waiting of 3-5 mins) for a game load.
As of the current Gen, a NVMe pcie based m.2 SSD is the fastest drive in the market and Samsung 980 is the latest iteration from its new lineup of m.2.
Ofcourse there are the PRO version m.2’s as well but those are just out of budget and out of scope from a gaming/home use kind of scenarios unless one is into heavy video editing, designing and vfx purposes.
Installing both the SSDs is fairly simple as just the screws are to be removed (follow your laptop manual for the same) and pop in these in their respective slots.
A word of caution though: m.2 slot on the laptop/desktop motherboard are mostly “M Key” based (female notch placed at the right side of a m.2 SSD that goes into the male notch on the motherboard). Also, most laptop/desktop motherboards easily support varying lengths of m.2 SSDs like 2242 2260 and the longest 2280 (22 is the width in mm where as the last 2 numbers i.e. 42, 60 and 80 are the lengths in mm).
Also, a 2.5 inch (7 mm or 9 mm) HDD/SSD enclosure can also be bought so that you can keep your old HDD/SSD as a portable HDD/SSD within the enclosure. I bought the transparent ORICO 2.5 mm model 2193U3 HDD/SSD enclosure (have reviewed that as well) and i keep my 7200 rpm 1TB HDD inside this enclosure after having it replaced with the 2TB Samsung 870 EVO.
Likewise, there is also an enclosure for the m.2 NVME PCIE SSD available from the same brand, ORICO. Check it out at amazon.in as well.
So, I made a BOOTABLE win10 usb (using the Windows Medial tool online) so that I can install the OS on the newly installed m.2 2280 ssd and the entire process took less than 30 mins from hardware installation to OS inatallation from USB to the new m.2 ssd.
There is Less to No Comparison of Quality and Price of Samsung SSDs with other brands like Sabrent, Crucial, WD etc.
Kindly like the review if it helped made your buying decision that much easier.
Cheers and e-peace

So, I got my hands on the Samsung SSD 980, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer! The speed on this thing is insane, like, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it fast. Booting up my system feels like teleportation to the future or something.
Plus, the installation was a piece of cake. Slapped it into my rig, and boom, ready to rock. And with Samsung’s reputation for reliability, I’m not losing sleep over my precious data.
If you’re in the market for a new SSD that’ll turbocharge your setup, the Samsung SSD 980 is where it’s at. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

The sensors on this thing are real good. These sensors indicate the temperature of the sdd. Im currently using Linux with this, and the day-to-day driving on this ssd is really fast. It can be used with any operating system you want, but the magician software is not available for Linux which means you will have to create a bootable live usb to update the firmware on the ssd. Though in Linux we can get to know about the ssd’s “SMART status” , which indicates the temperature and health of the drive. Recommended for daily driving. NOTE: The ssd’s performance may vary from device to device. If you do have a old laptop with hdd lying around, this is useful.

Qualité Samsung, rapide et prix abordable.
Seul petit bémol : pas de dissipateur de chaleur.
Rien de grave, vous trouverez cela sur Amazon pour quatre pièces à 7,00€, et là aussi parfait et moins de cinq minutes d’installation.
Merci Samsung.
