This is the second one I've taken.
Easy to install, ample capacity for secure storage and very acceptable read and write speeds.
The Samsung 980 PRO 2TB SSD can transform the performance and responsiveness of your machine. With stratospheric speeds and a very high endurance, the Samsung 980 PRO is based on the PCI-E 4.0 x4 interface and NVMe 1.3c technology.
2TB M.2 NVMe 1.3c SSD - PCIe 4.0 x4
The Samsung 980 PRO 2TB SSD is a performance and responsiveness upgrade for your machine. With stratospheric speeds and high endurance, the Samsung 980 PRO in M.2 2280 format is based on the PCI-E 4.0 x4 interface and NVMe 1.3c technology. It is also equipped with Samsung V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory, a Samsung Elpis controller and 2 GB of LPDDR4 cache memory.
The Samsung 980 PRO M.2 PCIe 4.0 4x NVMe 1.3c is designed primarily for hardcore gamers and demanding techies, the 980 PRO offers both bandwidth and high performance throughput for heavy gaming, computer graphics, data analysis and more. Games load ultra-fast so you can play more, and wait less.
Take your equipment to the next level with the power of the Samsung 980 PRO NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD. The 980 PRO makes the most of the PCIe 4.0 interface by doubling the data transfer rate of PCIe 3.0, while remaining backwards compatible with PCIe 3.0.
The 980 PRO has been optimised for speed with its Samsung Elpis controller, which is specifically designed for PCIe 4.0. This means you can achieve read speeds of up to 7000MB/s (depending on the model)
SSDs that deliver very high performance require extremely precise thermal control. To ensure the most stable performance, the 980 PRO features a nickel-protected controller to keep it at a stable temperature, and a heatsink to protect the NAND chip from temperature fluctuations.
Samsung has equipped the 980 PRO with a state-of-the-art algorithm so that the SSD itself can manage its temperature peaks and therefore ensure stable performance. To minimise long-term speed variations, Samsung Dynamic Thermal Guard technology keeps the temperature of the 980 PRO at an optimal level.
Access the true power of the 980 PRO with Samsung Magician software and its intuitive tools: monitor the status of the drive, optimise its performance, protect your important data, and receive all the updates to ensure you always get the best possible performance from your SSD.

Easy to install, ample capacity for secure storage and very acceptable read and write speeds.
I paid for 2TB but in the end there's only 1.8TB usable, otherwise the drive is perfectly functional.
after some research i came across the 980 pro from samsung, in 2to i was able to play all my games, you can really see the difference in power on loading times and other things!
disks ordered to fill an nvme slot on desktops (win11 )
Disk recognised by the bone with no problems and top performance.
The Windows Samsung Magician application is easy to use and is necessary to identify the firmware on the drive and update it.
The 3B2QGXA7 firmware is known to randomly lock the drive in read-only mode. (I didn't have this version but a firmware update was available).
As far as LDLC is concerned, the order was delivered quickly and without excessive over-packaging.
I recommend the SSD and even more so LDLC!
Samsung has delighted its customers with this ssd. Hyper-fast ssd without overheating. A pleasure for gaming and other demanding applications.
