Samsung Magician Software Monitor drive health, optimise SSD performance and protect data with advanced optimisation tools. Smart thermal solution Embedded with Samsung's cutting-edge thermal control algorithm, the 980 SSD manages heat on its own to deliver durable and reliable performance. To minimise performance fluctuations in the long haul, Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology maintains the 980's temperature at optimal levels. Reliable thermal control High-performance SSDs usually require high-performance thermal control. To ensure stable performance, the 980 uses nickel coating to help manage the controller's heat level and a heat spreader label to deliver effective thermal control of the NAND chip. ¹ The NVM Express design mark is a registered with NVM Express, Inc. ² Performance may vary depending on the SSD’s firmware version, system and hardware configuration.

Review: Amazing - The Samsung 980 500GB PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD is a great upgrade if you want faster storage without spending a ton. It’s super quick, with read speeds up to 3500 MB/s and write speeds up to 3000 MB/s, so everything from booting up your PC to loading games feels insanely smooth. Installing it was easy, and Samsung’s Magician software is handy for keeping it optimized. Even though it doesn’t have DRAM, the Host Memory Buffer (HMB) does a great job keeping things fast in real-world use. For the price, it’s reliable, fast, and a solid pick for anyone wanting a performance boost without going overboard. Review: Suprisingly good value - Very easy to fit. Wanted to dual boot win 10 and win 11 on this but ignored advice about disconnecting all other drives first as `hey building PCs for over 20 years I knew best didn't I`? Big mistake. Once I did, after 3 days of knowing best, it worked as expected. Previous boot disk was a standard sata SDD booting around 60 secs. This one boots in 30 secs. But the biggest benifit is the snappy loading of my apps, docs and all the other rubbish I work with. Unexpected benifit is the increase in write speed to a standard 2TB HDD up from around 800Mbs to 1.5 Gbs. Temperatures over all disks, cpu and misc chips 28c but then I don't game and my case does have 6 fans including the double cpu fan cooler. ## Features - Smart and powerful upgrade: NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD for gaming and demanding applications. - Plug full power: More than 6.2 times faster than SATA SSDs with read/write speeds up to 3500mbs (500GB variant). - High re thanks to heat spreader and dynamic thermal guard technology for protection against overheating as well as up to 300 TBW (Terabytes Writen) and a limited 5-year manufacturer's . - Storage capacity of up to 1 TB in compact M.2 form factor (2280), suitable for high-performance PCs and ultrabooks. - The Samsung Magician software optimises performance for you and keeps the drive up to date with updates. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08THW4S3T | | Best Sellers Rank | 16,912 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 105 in Internal Solid State Drives | | Box Contents | Samsung Memory MZ-V8V1T0 980 SSD Internal 500GB, PCIe NVMe M.2 | | Brand | Samsung | | Brand Name | Samsung | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 122 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Connectivity technology | PCIe 3.0 | | Country of Origin | Korea, Republic of | | Customer Package Type | Standard | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 7,103 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 3100 Megabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 500 GB | | Digital storage capacity | 500 GB | | Enclosure Material | NAND flash memory | | Form Factor | M.2 (2280) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08806090572227 | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Hard Drive (M.2, 2280, PCIe 3.0, up to 3100 Mbps) | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Centimetres | | Hard Disk Interface | NVMe | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 1 | | Hard disk form factor | 2.5 Centimetres | | Hard disk interface | NVMe | | Hard-Drive Size | 500 GB | | Hardware Connectivity | PCI Express 3.0 | | Hardware Platform | Mac, PC | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 8L x 2.2W x 0.2Th centimetres | | Item Weight | 8 Grams | | Manufacturer | Samsung | | Manufacturer Part Number | MZ-V8V500BW | | Media Speed | 2600 | | Model Name | 980 | | Model Number | MZ-V8V500BW | | Network Connectivity Technology | PCIe 3.0 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Portable | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Read Speed | 3100 Megabytes Per Second | | Special feature | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | Gaming | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Samsung - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Connectivity technology:** PCIe 3.0 - **Digital storage capacity:** 500 GB - **Hard disk description:** Solid State Hard Drive (M.2, 2280, PCIe 3.0, up to 3100 Mbps) - **Hard disk form factor:** 2.5 Centimetres - **Hard disk interface:** NVMe - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special feature:** Portable ## Images ![Samsung 980 500 GB PCIe 3.0 (up to 3500mbs) NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V8V500BW) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jxSShyLgL.jpg) ![Samsung 980 500 GB PCIe 3.0 (up to 3500mbs) NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V8V500BW) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XxqaXSrTL.jpg) ![Samsung 980 500 GB PCIe 3.0 (up to 3500mbs) NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V8V500BW) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71I1kwfUhjL.jpg) ![Samsung 980 500 GB PCIe 3.0 (up to 3500mbs) NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V8V500BW) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fdrPGUDSL.jpg) ![Samsung 980 500 GB PCIe 3.0 (up to 3500mbs) NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V8V500BW) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713RaHVFh5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Memory Storage Capacity** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this device be compatible with the asus strix x99 motherboard** A: Yes. Your board has 1 of the following compatible sockets: M.2 Socket 3 Type M PCIe Gen 3.0 x 4 NVME **Q: Can you use Samsungs Data Migration software to clone your existing disc to this m2** A: I upgraded from an older 256GB NVMe drive to the 980 Pro 1TB in this listing. I had about 110GB to transfer over. The software is free to download. Took about 10 or so to transfer the contents over to the new drive. Took just a single click of a button. At the end of the transfer, your computer will shut down. Disconnect the old drive and leave the new drive connected (obviously!). Boot up, et voila! Download Samsung Magician to update the firmware, if required. **Q: refering to the 980 in chart above, dig storage cap 1tb mem storage cap 250gb all others 1tb and 1tb, why the difference** A: It' actually 930Gb **Q: Apart from a screwdriver what else do I need** A: Hello. You will need to be sure that your motherboard is compatible with nvme having m.2 slot gen3. You may need 1screw from your motherboard box too.

Fast access memory, slightly slower with large files (300mb or bigger) but I do t have it set up for those types of files. Runs my operating system flawlessly, start up time sub 3secs. Easy installation, check the motherboard is compatible before purchasing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Samsung 980 500 GB PCIe 3.0 (up to 3500mbs) NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V8V500BW) - Corsair VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 Intel XMP 2.0 Computer Memory - Black (CMK32GX4M2E3200C16) - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for all processors (CPU, GPU - PC, PS4, XBOX), very high thermal conductivity, long durability, safe application, non-conductive, non-capacitive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/287964244-samsung-980-500-gb-pcie-3-0-up-to-3500mbs](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/287964244-samsung-980-500-gb-pcie-3-0-up-to-3500mbs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-04*
