NVMe drives combine compact size with maximum speed. This allows players to enjoy more gaming moments and skip downloading tens of gigabytes of titles in many cases. The Samsung SSD 980 PRO is one of those drives you want to have in your computer or PlayStation 5 console.
The 980 PRO Series is equipped with a fast NVMe 1.3c PCIe 4.0 interface. This is a big leap from the previous PCIe 3.0 standard, including doubling the maximum speeds. Many users at home still have SATA drives. It can be not only disk drives, but also 2.5-inch SSDs. Compared to these drives, the 980 PRO is up to 13 times faster. So if you think you have an old SSD and don’t need to upgrade it, it might be the other way around. There is a huge difference between a SATA SSD and a PCIe 4.0 drive that you can immediately notice. Even console players can notice the difference. The difference in game loading speeds between PS4 and PS5 games is sometimes horrendous, and newer consoles can immerse you in a game in seconds.
Another key parameter is specific speeds. The Samsung 980 PRO provides read speeds up to 7000MB/s and write speeds up to 5100MB/s. A number of programs, games, and the PlayStation 5 console benefit from these values. For example, when editing videos, your files will load faster and you won’t have to wait in front of the loading screen in the latest games.
The capacity itself also plays an important role. Taking the PlayStation 5 as an example, Sony’s console’s internal drive offers in practice less than 700 GB of space to install games. It’s certainly not much these days. Just load up one Call of Duty, Horizon, Spider-Man and we’re out of a lot of space. That’s why the 1 to 2 TB of space that expands the storage of the Samsung SSD 980 PRO makes a big difference. Classic external drives don’t support downloading PS5 games, so this is the only way to expand your console’s storage.
Capacity on consoles has been slightly reduced due to loading times. These are some of the highlights that both game developers and console makers are focused on. The latest generation of Xbox and PlayStation already shipped with fast storage as a foundation that programmers can take full advantage of. As a result, games run faster if you have a fast drive. The differences can even be on the order of a few minutes for large open-world RPGs. Who does not remember GTA 5, where you could wait a few minutes. This doesn’t happen with new games if you have fast enough storage on your computer.
To maintain high speeds in all conditions, Samsung has endowed the drive with intelligent cooling. This consists not only of a heat sink, but also of a number of small parts that greatly affect the result. Thermal pads located between the loaded chips and the heat spreader help stabilize the load. The dual-sided heatsink then cools the top and bottom of the drive and helps dissipate heat efficiently to the environment.
The result is an efficient and at the same time small heatsink that will fit not only in every computer case, but also in the PlayStation 5 console. So you will have enough space for Spider-Man 2 in October.
