The Samsung 980 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD (MZ-V8V500B/AM) is the one 500 GB M.2 NVMe Gen 3 drive on this page. It runs on PCIe 3.0 with read and write speeds of up to 3.1 GB/s and 2.6 GB/s. Samsung covers it with a 5 year warranty.
The 980 has no DRAM cache. It uses Host Memory Buffer to borrow system RAM, which keeps it quick for booting Windows, loading games and everyday work. This M.2 2280 drive needs a slot wired for NVMe; a SATA-only M.2 slot will not detect it.
Frequently asked questions
Will a Gen 3 SSD work in a Gen 4 slot? Yes. PCIe is backward compatible, so the 980 works in Gen 4 and Gen 5 M.2 slots at its Gen 3 speed.
Is 500 GB enough? It holds an operating system, applications and a few games. A large game library needs a bigger drive.
