Equipped with 6th generation V-NAND, provides up to 6 times faster performance than SATA SSD
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Seo Mi-sook = Samsung Electronics[005930]Announced on the 10th that it will release a new product’NVMe SSD 980′ that will lead the popularization of high-performance solid state drives (SSDs).
This product is a consumer SSD based on a high-performance NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) interface and realizes up to 6 times the continuous reading speed of the existing SATA SSD, providing the best performance to various consumer groups such as general notebook PC users, content creators, and home game users. to provide.

With the latest 6th generation V-NAND, it can read and write continuously at speeds of up to 3500MB and 3000MB per second, 500K IOPS (I/O processing speed per second), and 480K IOPS randomly.
In particular, this product is equipped with HMB (Host Memory Buffer) technology that directly connects to the DRAM installed in the PC without the DRAM installed inside the SSD by optimizing the controller and firmware technology. Accordingly, the DRAM installed inside the SSD is removed to reduce cost and maintain performance.
The Intelligent TurboWrite function, which optimizes performance according to the user’s workload, has also been improved to provide more stable performance.
The same thermal control technology as high-end products, such as Dynamic Thermal Guard, a nickel-coated controller, and a’heat dissipation sheet’ on the back of the product, are also applied.
Through these functions, power efficiency is improved by up to 56% compared to the previous NVMe SSD lineup, ‘970 EVO’, and carbon emissions are minimized during the manufacturing process.
Samsung Electronics added a’maximum power mode’ optimized for high-capacity tasks and high-performance games to Samsung Magician 6.3, an SSD-only software.
The new NVMe SSD 980 will be released in more than 40 countries around the world, including Korea, the United States, Germany, and China, in three models totaling 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB. They are priced at $49.99, $69.99, and $129.99, respectively.
