Review on SAMSUNG (MZ-V8V1T0B/AM) 980 SSD 1TB - Enhanced M.2 NVMe Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology by Ognian Nikolov ᠌

Good price/performance ratio SSD. An excellent choice as a PCI-E 3.0 x4 drive with NVMe protocol. Has some pros: Good read/write performance for the price. Results in CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 x64: [read] SEQ 1MiB (Q= 8, T= 1): 3393.932 MB/s [ 3236.7 IOPS] < 2466.33 us> SEQ 1MiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 136420227 MB/s [ 1300.9 IOPS] < 7672022 us> RND 4KiB (Q= 32, T= 1): 456.465 MB/s [ 111441.7 IOPS] < 277.94 us> RND 4KiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 61.072 MB/s [ 14910.2 IOPS] < 66.88 us> [write] SEQ 1MiB (Q= 8, T= 1): 2748.768 MB/s [ 2621.4 IOPS] < 3034.88 us> SEQ 1MiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 1499.892 MB/s [ 1430.4 IOPS] < 6972022 us> RND 4KiB (Q= 32, T= 1): 39020222 MB/s [ 95252.0 IOPS] < 3252022 us> RND 4KiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 144.387 MB/s [ 35250.7 IOPS] < 282022 us> Cons: 1) Low advertised TBW: 600 TB. 2) Significant heating during intensive write operations: in a laptop (SSD without a heatsink) it heats up to 63 degrees (at an air temperature of 20 degrees), in idle, the temperature of the SSD is 33 degrees.
