Samsung 980 1TB NVMe SSD

The Samsung 980 1TB drive uses a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.4 protocol. It is built for consumer workloads such as gaming and heavy graphics workflows. The controller is named Pablo and the memory is V-NAND MLC.

Sustained load behaviour

Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 enlarges the TurboWrite region up to 5.5 times to maintain write speeds. Full Power Mode via Magician 6.3 keeps the drive at peak performance continuously. Host Memory Buffer links host DRAM directly to the controller to overcome DRAMless constraints.

Thermals noise and power

Nickel coating on the controller and a heat spreader label on the NAND provide thermal control. Samsung's thermal algorithm manages heat to minimise performance fluctuations during extended use. Idle power consumption is 45 mW.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 980 draw when the system is idle for long periods?

Idle power consumption is 45 mW, so the drive adds minimal heat and keeps laptop battery drain low during all-day use.

What motherboard slot and protocol are required for this MZ-V8V1T0B/AM to function?

It needs an M.2 2280 slot wired for PCI-Express 3.0 x4 with NVMe 1.4 support; the drive is DRAM-less and uses Host Memory Buffer, so the platform must provide system RAM for that feature.

Will the 980 work in an older board limited to PCI-Express 3.0 x4?

Yes, the interface is PCI-Express 3.0 x4, so it runs at its rated 3500 MB/s read and 3000 MB/s write on such boards; the Pablo controller and nickel-coated thermal management keep performance steady during sustained loads.
