Speed is the name of the game
Extremely fast SSD and very easy to install with the Samsung SSD Data Migration application.
It's child's play to clone your system disk and that's why I only buy Samsung SSDs.

SSD 980 PRO: High Performance PCIe 4.0 SSD
The Samsung 980 PRO 500GB SSD can transform the performance and responsiveness of 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 512 MB 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.
Access to unprecedented performance
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)
Precise thermal control
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.
Samsung Magician
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.

Very good SSD
The performance of this SSD is top notch.
The performance of this SSD is top notch compared to the SATA SSD it replaces, a real leap forward, a little "wow" effect that I didn't expect, necessarily since I already have NVme on another machine.
The Samsung transfer software (Data Migration Tool - download on their website) is very efficient: the clone of my old disk was done in 3 clicks, my OS rebooted on the new disk without blinking. Note that the old disk is then put "offline" by Windows because of a signature conflict: you have to go to the disk manager to erase / format / put it back online.Review automatically translated -

SSD Upgrade
My first M.2. installed on my desktop (Gigabyte GA-Z170X motherboard) with linux Mint works great!
I did not reinstall my system, I simply cloned my old Samsung SSD 840 EVO (sata) to the Samsung SSD 980 pro (NVMe M.2) with the "dd" command. And it worked perfectly.Review automatically translated
