Samsung 980 250GB M.2 NVMe SSD

The Samsung 980 SSD utilizes the NVMe 1.4 protocol across a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface, enabling high data transfer rates significantly above those offered by the older SATA standard. This configuration achieves sequential read speeds up to 2900 MB/s and sequential write speeds reaching 1300 MB/s. Performance data indicates random read speeds up to 230,000 IOPS and random write speeds up to 320,000 IOPS, which contribute to rapid system responsiveness and minimized application load times. The drive is managed by the proprietary Samsung Pablo controller and uses V-NAND 3-bit MLC technology.

Constructed in the compact M.2 2280 form factor, the device is compatible with modern desktop motherboards and specific laptop models designed for internal SSD expansion. Reliability metrics include a 150 TBW (Total Bytes Written) endurance rating and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1.5 million hours. Power efficiency is maintained through support for DEVSLP (Device Sleep) mode, resulting in low idle power consumption of 0.045W, optimizing the drive for sustained use in PC and laptop environments.
