Samsung 980 PRO 250GB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 Internal SSD

The Samsung MZ-V8P250B/AM is a 250GB solid state drive that installs directly into an M.2 2280 slot and communicates through a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 link. The drive uses Samsung V-NAND 3-bit MLC flash and an Elpsis controller to reach sequential read speeds up to 6400 MB/s and write speeds up to 2700 MB/s. That level of performance lets a desktop or laptop open large game worlds, 4K video timelines, or data analytics workloads in a fraction of the time required by a SATA drive.

Creators who juggle large media files, gamers who want minimal load screens, and professionals who manage code compilations or virtual machines will all notice the quick response this drive delivers. The 980 PRO serves equally well as a primary operating system drive or as a scratch disk for demanding projects where every second counts.

Samsung pairs the flash memory with a nickel-coated controller and a heat spreader label. Together, these elements draw heat away from critical components so the drive can sustain top speed during long transfers or extended gaming sessions. Integrated thermal management continually adjusts performance to keep temperatures in check.

Data security is handled in hardware. Support for AES 256-bit encryption, TCG/Opal 2.0, and Microsoft eDrive helps protect sensitive documents without relying on software-only solutions. An endurance rating of 150 terabytes written provides a comfortable buffer for years of daily use in systems that deal with constant file activity.

The single-sided design allows easy installation in tight laptop bays and compact builds. Whether you are refreshing an aging workstation or assembling a new gaming tower, the Samsung 980 PRO brings reliable speed and efficient thermal control in a space-saving form factor.
