Review on Samsung 980 PRO 500GB M.2 SSD MZ-V8P500BW by Wiktor Marciniak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

I use this on a system with a Ryzen 3900X, I'm quite satisfied. The speed of work is cosmic. Only the RAM-disk works faster, and then, on household AMD - 3 times in total (server ones at least 8-channel, and not 2, like household ones). I took a couple more for RAID0 on PCIe 4.0 - let's see how much faster the compilation of one monstrous project will be. So far, these disks are cheaper than RAM;) Well, it's a pity that I have not yet found a solution with PCI bifurcation to use a PCIe 4.0 board, for example, with 4x NVMe x4 -> x16, as is done on PCIe 3.0. But so far, 4x Samsung 970 Pro is faster than 2x Samsung 980 Pro. We are waiting for boards under 4x4 -> 1x16.

Pros
  • The best NVMe drive so far.
Cons
  • Price - I expected it to be one and a half times cheaper, but because of the miners, the prices jumped.
