On sale is the Samsung 980 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD and Samsung 980 Pro 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD that end up being really cheap when combined with the $30 for 980 and $40 for 980 Pro Samsung Cashback.

The Samsung 980 SSD is PCIe 3.0 and uses TLC flash with HMB (Host Memory Buffer) in place of DRAM to offer faster sustained write speeds than other DRAMless SSDs. It offers a seq. read up to 3500 MB/s, a seq. write up to 3000 MB/s, 600TBW endurance and backed by a 5 year warranty.

The Samsung 980 Pro is PCIe 4.0 and uses TLC flash with 1GB DDR4 DRAM cache. It offers a seq. read up to 7000 MB/s, seq. write up to 5,000 MB/s, 600TBW endurance and backed by a 5 year warranty.

For people with PS5's the Samsung 980 Pro is the one to go with since it's PCIe 4.0 and offers faster performance thanks to the DRAM cache and quality Samsung flash memory.

    For those wondering about the Samsung Cashback; Futu Online eBay is the participating store - 'K.S. COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY'

    For people with PS5's the Samsung 980 Pro is the one to go with since it's PCIe 4.0 and offers faster performance thanks to the DRAM cache and quality Samsung flash memory.

    Also recommended to get a heatsink for the SSD.

      Also recommended to get a heatsink for the SSD.

      And we both know where. Here of course! Use zip ties for better longevity ;)

      Thanks for this info mate. Could you also recommend a heatsink from amazon?

      Failures mostly seem to be around the 990 and for the 980 the latest firmware is recommended. Doesn't seem too bad.

      There're quite a few reports of a high failure rate of the 980 pro (e.g. this one: https://www.pugetsystems.com/blog/2023/02/02/update-on-samsu…). Samsung released a very recent firmware update for the 980 pro, but I haven't seen any confirmation that the new firmware fixes the failure rate in the long term.

        Also doesn't retroactively fix any that are already broken.

      • late on 09/02/2023 - 18:01

        The newest firmware is over a year old

        I have 2x 980 Pro 2TBs, and have not updated my firmware for a looooooooong time. Even so, the firmware it is on is listed as the latest version without the issue with the pugetsystems link that you provided above. So I don't think this is an issue given how slack I am with updating firmware and I am still on the newest version and the previous version doesn't seem to have the issue either. So you would be looking at drives older than 1-2 years that have not been updated.

    1TB 980 Pro is listed at $199
    had an ebay plus $25 off $150+ spend to bring it down to $174.
    Paid with gift cards from shopback to bring it down 3% to $169
    $40 samsung redemption brings it to $129.

      Very tempting indeed.
      However reading the reddit indicated they are few people having issue with 980 pro turning into read only mode.

        It's supposed to have warranty and I'm using for ps5 so if it stuffs up I can just re-download the games. If it was for pc use I'd be a bit more concerned.
