Built using their V-NAND 3-bit MLC flash technology and Elpsis controller, the 2TB 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD from Samsung offers an M.2 2280 form factor and a PCIe 4.0 x4 / NVMe 1.3 interface to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 7000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 5100 MB/s. Users will also have access to encryption via TCG/Opal 2.0 and MS eDrive, while a TBW (Total Bytes Written) rating of 1200TB helps ensure a long operational life. The built-in heatsink helps to enhance performance by quickly dissipating heat to provide longer sustained speeds. With a thickness of 11.25mm, the 980 PRO SSD and heatsink are designed to fit into desktop and laptop systems that comply with the PCI-SIG D8, 8.8mm standard. Compatible devices also include console gaming systems such as the Sony PlayStation 5.
