Samsung 980 Pro Heatsink SSD Review & Benchmark - GUESS WHOS BACK, BACK AGAIN!

Just bought the 2TB (with heatsink) version of the 980 pro for $109 via amazon black friday deal. Love it! Performance has been great (Win 11, 13900 KF)

how thick is it?
Thicker than 1cm?

I have one in my lattepanda. Overkill for sure, but I will be putting my 1tb 970 into it when I get the heat sink for my panda

I plan to buy one today...not sure if I should go with 2TB Samsung 980 Pro with Heatsink or 2TB MSI Spatium 480 without heatsink!?

I got a 2TB for $99.99 today on prime day.

Good practical comparison review 👍

is it good for laptop?

WHO THE FUCK PUTS OUT A 31.5 MINUTE VIDEO FOR A FUCKING SSD REVIEW. FUCK.

£185 2t on Amazon now

I have a genuine tip I think would help you. I didn’t watch this video once I seen it’s 30mins. Consolidate the info to 5-10 mins and you’d get more views

Hello,
What is better for Laptop upgrade.
980pro or 980pro heatsink ??

I know this is an old video but when I test mine with the exact same settings at 1GiB at a single pass I get like 140mbs for rnd4k q32t16 write even though mixed still gives around 2500 mbs, when I do 2 or more passes write goes up to 1900mbs, do you know why this is?

Can I use the Samsung 980 PRO Heatsink SSD M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 on my Laptop Asus ROG Strix G15 2021??

is the heat sink removable?

Can you remove the heat sink? I need to clone from an SSD to m.2 and need to be able to remove the heat shield until it's cloned and then reinstall it.

Can I use it into a Legion 5 pro? Is there a problem with the size?

Can it fit in a laptop like Alienware 17R4?

And, how do you feel now with the announcement of the 990 Pro, which will now include a 4TB option? 😁

The 980 PRO also has hardware based AES 256 encryption where the SN850 doesnt so if using Bitlocker the Samsung will be much quicker

can you use the 980 heat sink on a laptop?

can you remove the heatsink if needed?

Unnecessary yip-yapping for 20 mins.

SSDs with heatsink are great because they have exclusive designs. I have the Seagate FireCuda 530 500GB with the EK heatsink and it looks great but the heatsink version must be bought only when the price difference of the non heatsink version is not that great. If you can get the 980 Pro or Seagate FireCuda with a good price just do what I did: bought the be Quiet MC1 Pro heatsink and install it... good materials and with a copper heatsink as well (but the EK heatsink looks way better, I know...). Great intro by the way...

WHAT A DONKEY of a video....get on with it ffs

when the creator is saying "but why would you worry about that" feels like a dead giveaway he's just rambling too much. not it

I just got a PS5 digital edition after trying for ages! I’m gonna need a storage upgrade soon and after watching a few of these videos im thinking of this Samsung one or the WD black as the FireCuda is £30 more than I’m seeing the other 2 and money’s tight, the WD black one is £12 more than this Samsung so the Samsung is the cheapest I’m seeing with heatsink £125 1tb, it only just hits the 5.5gbs though doesn’t it whereas the other 2 I mentioned hit 6.5gbs so if I get the Samsung will it last me the generation in terms of running games well?

You mentioned the Samsung is not rated as amongst the best for durability at 0.3 DWPD . As someone who wants to edit large files etc on a large scale (i.e. non gaming use) which SSD would have the best durability and lifespan rating?

Can j install the samsung 980 with heat sink in my rog zaphyrus m16 ! Mine supports the pci 4 ,, but from the pic it seems it is big to be installed in the laptop there for I’m asking before i buy it! Thank you

Can I remove the Heatsink?

Hi greetings from Puerto Rico.
Do you recomend the Samsung Samsung 980 Pro 2tb for the PS5?

wow!

the samsung 980 pro still king on low temps, power draw and higher sustained speeds (this is what matters) running with not heatsink is about 5~10c less than any other SSD, it's often getting bad feedback from clueless people that think the PS5 benchmark tool is absolute truth 🤣like the 3.5gbps cheap SSDs reading 5.5 🤣if you update firmware or not it doesn't matter cuz the ssd out of box have more than enough sustained speeds which PS5 uses only when copy games between drives, but loading games are as fast or even faster than the internal SSD

Does the Samsung hard disk live long? I bought a wd hard disk that only works for five hours and then it crashes

I cant get mine over 5600

Is the Samsung 980 Pro with a Elecgear PS5 heatsink a good combo???
Or should I just settle with a Samsung 980 pro w/heatsink?
Any suggestions. So many choices!!!

Question: I’m building a new PC after 10 years. Can I combine the SSD‘s heatsink with the motherboard‘s (MSI Z690-A Pro) heatsink? Thank you.

I just bought the 980 Pro 2TB with heatsink for $240 (includes tax). Such a good deal! It'll do the job for PS5.

I've installed this exact same SSD in my PS5! Was it a good choice and will I need a new one soon because of it "showing it's age" a bit in performance? It works nice and fast enough and it keeps the PS5 nice and cool so far.

SSD’s in your area. 😂

Question, please.... I'm just installing my 980 Pro 4.0 2TB ssd. {with heatsink) I'm wondering which slot i should install it in my gigabyte z590 arous elite MB. I have as Radeon Pro WX-3200 GPU (with own fan). MB has three slots. Which one should I use?

M2A_CPU (Above GPU), M2B_SB (Below GPU), or M2P_SB (Below M2B)

I have a question. When you add a second drive to the ps5 where does it save its captures to? Could you capture gameplay to the internal ps5 drive from the added m.2?

Hey Nas in your expert opinion, I'm in the market for a 2tb drive. Now money not being an issue, should I get the firecuda with its own heat sink, or the firecuda with the elecgear heat sink? Please help I just want what will be cooler Temps for the ssd. Thanks for your time

I only stick to Samsung since the 850 serie, but firecuda 530 with heatsink is probaly the world best m2
I have Samsung 980 2x2 tb
But now i got firecuda 530 m2 heatsink edition ♥ 4tb. Not sure yet if i shall use it for the Ps5 or pc

I'm very new to this stuff.
What would work best, using the expansion SSD or PS5's internal SSD to play PS5 games? I hear that the Expansion could be faster than the internal. But would it be better to use the internal to play games you plan on playing hours on end over the Expansion SSD to increase longevity?
I have the WD 1Tb with heatsink.

Will you please test the 980 Pro with the MHQJRH heatsink installed in the PS5? This seems to be a very popular combo and i'm wondering if this heatsink is able to adequately cool the 980 Pro while installed in the PS5. Thanks for all your hard work!

Does samsung 980pro with heatsink what speed reads are for ps5

I just bought one 1TB 980 pro original whitout the heatsink and the read speeds wore only 5,3gb's, after updating the firmware I finally have 6,5gb's read speed. Update the firmware is a must! And I use a NVMe to PCIexp x16 adapter to update 👌👌👌😉

This video should have been published next month, on 14th of February. 😄🌹

Great job. I'll still take the 980 pro for the long term .
