Perfectly suited for PC and PS5

While PCs are popular for their versatile upgrade options, the Playstation 5 has precise requirements that an SSD must meet. For example, the console can only with M.2 SSDs be expanded, as 2.5-inch SSDs do not fit into the integrated slots. However, the smaller M.2 models also have advantages for PC gamers, because the hard drive can simply be plugged into the motherboard and fixed with a screw – fewer cables ensure better airflow and cooler components.

Speaking of cool, the Samsung 980 PRO heatsink naturally has its own cooling system. This is definitely an advantage in the computer, but particularly important with the Playstation 5, because it does not have its own heat sink for the SSDs, so there is a risk of overheating. Heat sinks or heatsinks can also be attached to other SSDs, but this will cost you extra.

Another reason why the SSD is particularly well suited for gaming is the high read and write speeds, which can significantly reduce your loading times. Sony recommends at least 5000 MB/s reading for the Playstation 5, which the Samsung 980 PRO heatsink easily manages – it has up to 7000 MB/s on it, when writing it is 5000 MB/s.

It is also particularly important for console gamers PCIe® 4.0, as the SSD cannot communicate with the PS5 without the data transfer protocol. This is not absolutely necessary for PC gamers, but it is definitely an advantage, because PCIe® ensures faster processing of particularly large amounts of data.

Last but not least, it should be noted that this is an SSD with NVMe™ (Non-Volatile Memory Express) acts. Hard drives of this type are designed to work with multi-core processors – which are of course standard nowadays. This gives your games another speed boost.
