Review on πŸš€ 1TB Samsung 980 PRO PCIe NVMe Gen4 Internal M.2 Gaming SSD (MZ-V8P1T0B) by Tony Addis

Blazing Fast!: Storage

These things are blazing fast in a PCI Express 4.0 environment if you look at an AMD Threadripper processor. I just installed TWO of these 1TB m.2x SSD cards in an Asus Zeneth II Extreme TRX40 motherboard and they are insanely fast with no issues whatsoever. Don't forget to download Samsung Magician so you can update these firmwares and keep them TRIMed (defragmented). I swear these cards work like programs out of DDR4 DIMMS memory, not hard drives. They really speed up the whole system. I highly recommend going Windows 10 Pro, and if you have an AMD chip with more cores, upgrade to Windows 10 PRO for Workstations to take advantage of your higher core count.

The previous gaming PC build was for my wife creating a bit more content and I play more. So far I've had great results and stability compared to my previous two Samsung 980 Pro m2x drives. No problems and very fast speeds in a PCI-Express 4.0 environment with the AMD Ryzen platform. The 2 TB internal drive has enough space for gaming and PC for me.
