980

I had three drives go through RMA process with Samsung in 2026. Completely awful experience, most of the process occurs through text messaging. I paid $379 for a 2TB m2 Samsung Pro 980 in 2021, still within 5 year warranty period, after two months of having the drive, they offered me $179. When I as

External with a Gen4 SSD is the golden ticket. Gen5 and you lose the speed gains due to TB5 anyway. Best bet is something like a 980 pro from Samsung and an Acasis TB5 enclosure. You'll maximise the TB5 throughput this way without wasting money on a newer gen5 9100 pro ssd where you wouldn't realise

I got the 2TB memory card for $90 at the end of 2023 on a clearance deal at Target. And a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro nvme ssd for $70 from Amazon the same week. Considering how much prices have exploded, I consider these some of the best purchases I've ever made.

Quand je pense que j'ai eu un Samsung 980 Pro à 120€ il y a 2ans... Et que je le trouvais cher 😅

Ok if you want a high end samsung drive I would recommend the 980 pro or 990 pro you can get cheaper that will still work for you the 9100 pro is a gen 5 drive and the motherboard is gen 4 so it would work but you would be wasting money and gen 5 drives get very hot while gen 4 drives are cooler

And several S6 drives, the market ha

If you do buy used, I only recommend buying from eBay under these conditions: Seller has a high rating, 100% positive Seller has a lot of ratings, generally safe number imo is 100+. Be sure to look over their reviews under the "As Seller" tab. Make sure the item has eBay guarantee on it When you rec

crucial mx4 or samsung 980 are solid picks for budget friendly options. your specs are pretty good so any decent nvme will work fine with that setup. i got the mx4 last year and never had issues, loads games fast enough and price was reasonable btw those are some nice specs for someone new to pc bui

Thank you, that explains a lot. While I had heard fractions abt this, I had no idea the RAM and flash memory situation had pushed prices up this badly. A Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB for 34k sounds amazing compared to current prices 😭

Different manufacturers take the same base chip and add their own cooling solutions, power delivery systems and features which affects price and performance. The gigabyte gaming version probably has better cooling or higher factory overclock than the cheaper asus one For RAM yeah ddr5 is ddr5 but sp
