The jaws that bite, the claws that catch 

The three year old Samsung 980 Pro PCIe 4.0 drive is becoming the knock off of choice with some rather good forgeries suddenly appearing.

Upgrade your firmware or suffer

The pricy 2 TB version of the Samsung 980 Pro SSD launched last year needs a firmware update before it fails.

Already out of stock

Samsung's 980 Pro has only lately become available in 2TB capacity option, and while it is listed on Amazon.com, it is currently out of stock, showing just how popular this M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive actually is.

Peaking at 7,000/5,000 MB/s

Samsung has released its latest 980 Pro PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, which, it says, delivers next-level SSD performance, peaking at 7,000 MB/s and 5,000 MB/s sequential read and write, and comes in 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities.

Impressive sequential performance but lower endurance

Samsung's upcoming 980 Pro NVMe SSD has been briefly spotted online revealing all the key specifications, including impressive sequential performance but a rather low endurance rating.

With transfer speeds of up to 6,500MB/s

Samsung's 980 Pro PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD has been pictured at the CES 2020 show, and it could come as soon as Q2 this year.
