SAMSUNG 980 M.2 2280 1TB PCIe 3.0 NVMe 1.4 internal SSD

SKU CH-Q028-5TY37

An M.2 2280 internal SSD delivering 1 TB over PCIe 3.0 x4 with NVMe 1.4 for fast system responsiveness

  • M.2 2280 form factor fits compact laptop and desktop slots
  • 1 TB capacity stores large game libraries and creative projects
  • PCIe 3.0 x4 interface enables fast data transfer for demanding workloads
  • NVMe 1.4 protocol reduces latency for responsive system performance
  • V-NAND MLC technology delivers reliable endurance for sustained heavy use

PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.4 SSD

This Samsung 980 is a 1TB M.2 2280 internal solid state drive that connects through a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface using the NVMe 1.4 protocol. It is built for desktop or laptop owners who want faster boot times, quicker game loads and snappier application response without moving to a newer PCIe generation.

Suits PCIe 3.0 M.2 slots.

The drive fits any M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe 3.0 x4 and will also run in newer slots at PCIe 3.0 speeds. It is not for builders who need the higher throughput of PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 NVMe drives, nor for systems that lack an M.2 PCIe slot altogether.

1TB capacity on PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.4

The single specification that decides fit is the 1TB capacity delivered over a PCIe 3.0 x4 link with NVMe 1.4. If your motherboard or laptop provides an M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 slot and 1TB meets your storage target, this drive matches the requirement.

Highlights

Questions about this item

How much power does the 980 draw under sustained PCIe 3.0 x4 workloads?

The 980 uses the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and NVMe 1.4 protocol, which together enable efficient power management during long gaming or heavy-graphics sessions.

What motherboard slot is required for the 980 M.2 2280 1TB drive?

An M.2 2280 key-M slot wired for PCIe 3.0 x4 and NVMe 1.4 support is needed for the 980 to operate.

Will the 980 work in a system that only has PCIe 2.0 M.2 slots?

The 980 is built for PCIe 3.0 x4 and NVMe 1.4; it will negotiate down to the slot's maximum link speed, so it functions on PCIe 2.0 M.2 sockets at reduced throughput.
