Samsung 980 PRO

The Samsung 980 PRO brings PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage to compatible PCs in a compact M.2 2280 module. Select 250GB, 500GB, 1TB or 2TB to match your workload; speed and endurance ratings vary by capacity. Available from AX Store in Kuwait.

250 GB / 500 GB / 1 TB / 2 TB

Advertised Capacity Options

PCIe 4.0 x4

Storage Interface

M.2 2280

Module Form Factor

Up to 7,000 MB/s on 1 TB / 2 TB

Capacity-Dependent Sequential Read

Samsung 980 PRO 1TB NVMe SSD

PCIe 4.0 bandwidth for demanding files

Sequential reads reach up to 6,400MB/s on 250GB, 6,900MB/s on 500GB and 7,000MB/s on 1TB and 2TB. The drive also works with compatible PCIe 3.0 systems at reduced interface speeds.

Samsung flash, controller and cache

Samsung V-NAND and an in-house controller work with dedicated LPDDR4 cache. Cache capacity scales from 512MB on the two smaller drives to 1GB on 1TB and 2GB on the 2TB model.

Keep your storage in view

Samsung Magician provides supported drive-management features, including health information and firmware updates. Install the drive in a compatible PCIe NVMe M.2 slot, provide suitable cooling and check your motherboard's storage requirements.

Match the drive to your system

Explore more SSD and storage options, or compare motherboards with compatible NVMe connectivity. Select your required capacity before ordering. The standard 980 PRO module does not include a factory-fitted heatsink.

Match Endurance to the Chosen Model

The endurance rating is 150 TBW for 250 GB, 300 TBW for 500 GB, 600 TBW for 1 TB or 1,200 TBW for 2 TB. Keep the selected model and capacity tied to its own rating, and maintain backups of important files alongside normal drive-health monitoring.

Samsung 980 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD

Plan Bandwidth for the Actual Slot

The interface is PCIe 4.0 x4. Check the motherboard’s M.2 slot mode and any shared-lane restrictions before installation. A higher drive rating does not increase the bandwidth of a slower host slot, and practical transfer speed depends on workload and cooling.

Check the Drive Interface and Physical Fit

Match the drive interface, form factor and supported slot or bay to the system. Plan capacity, cooling and a backup routine alongside the headline speed specification. Compare related options such as Corsair MP700 PRO 4TB SSD with Air Cooler or Corsair MP700 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD with Air Cooler, keeping the exact model and configuration in the decision. For the wider setup, explore SanDisk Ultra 64GB SDXC Memory Card and check the connection, size or mounting requirements before pairing accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which capacity will I receive?

Choose the required capacity before ordering: 250 GB / 500 GB / 1 TB / 2 TB. Speed, endurance and usable formatted capacity depend on the selected model; photos illustrate the family rather than changing the selected capacity.

What motherboard slot is required?

Use a compatible PCIe NVMe M.2 slot that accepts a 2280 module. Check the board’s storage support and slot bandwidth; an M.2 connector intended only for SATA does not establish NVMe compatibility.

Are the advertised transfer speeds guaranteed for every file?

The sequential figures are up-to ratings for their stated capacity and test conditions. Real transfers depend on the host interface, workload, firmware, available cache and thermal conditions.

What cooling should I plan for?

The standard 980 PRO module has no factory-fitted heatsink. Plan suitable cooling for the system and check the motherboard installation requirements.
