PCIe 5.0 x4 internal SSD for gaming laptops

The ADATA SMAR-980B-1TCS is a 1TB XPG BLADE drive built on 3D NAND with an SMI SM2508 controller and 1GB DRAM cache. It targets gamers and AI workloads on the latest Intel and AMD laptop platforms, and is also validated for PS5 expansion.

M.2 2280 form factor with integrated heatsink

The single-sided 2280 module fits thin-and-light chassis without extra cooling hardware. A bundled heatsink keeps the controller within the 0°C to 70°C operating window during sustained PCIe 5.0 x4 transfers, so throttling is avoided in compact enclosures.

Upgrade from PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives

Sequential reads up to 14000 MBps and writes up to 10000 MBps cut game load times and asset streaming latency. Random performance of 1,600,000 read IOPS and 1,650,000 write IOPS benefits heavy multitasking. The 740TB TBW rating supports the jump when workloads demand sustained Gen5 bandwidth.

Questions about this item

What does PCI-Express 5.0 x4 cap sequential read at on this drive?

The PCIe 5.0 x4 interface lets the SMAR-980B-1TCS reach up to 14000 MBps sequential read and 10000 MBps sequential write.

What physical slot and clearance does the M.2 2280 with heatsink need?

It fits a standard M.2 2280 slot; the integrated heatsink adds height so confirm your motherboard or laptop has enough clearance above the socket.

How is the drive installed and which step is often missed?

Insert the M.2 2280 card at an angle, secure it with the motherboard screw, then ensure the heatsink makes firm contact with any thermal pad or case surface for proper cooling.
