[FETV=김현호 기자] Samsung Electronics will release’NVMe SSD 980′, which will lead the popularization of high-performance SSDs by satisfying both performance and price.
This product is a high-performance NVMe interface-based consumer SSD that can realize up to 6 times the continuous reading speed compared to the existing SATA SSD, providing the best performance to various consumer groups such as general notebook PC users as well as content creators and home game users. .
NVMe SSD 980 equipped with the latest 6th generation V-NAND provides up to 3500MB/s, 3000MB/s continuous read/write speed, 500K IOPS, and 480K IOPS random read/write performance.
In particular, this product applies 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. Through this, the DRAM installed inside the SSD was removed to reduce cost and maintain performance. In addition, the Intelligent TurboWrite function, which optimizes performance according to the user’s workload, has also been improved to provide more stable performance.
‘NVMe SSD 980′ applies the same thermal control technology as high-end products such as’Dynamic Thermal Guard’, a nickel-coated controller, and’heat dissipation sheet’ on the back of the product, so users can experience the best performance for a long time. I can.
This product is expected to be suitable for consumers who value good consumption, such as improving power efficiency by up to 56% compared to the previous NVMe SSD lineup, ‘970 EVO’ and minimizing carbon emissions during the manufacturing process.
Meanwhile, 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.
“Samsung Electronics has led the SSD technology leadership based on its advanced technology as the number one company in the SSD industry for many years,” said Gyu-young Lee, executive director of the brand product marketing team at Samsung Electronics’ memory division. It will increase accessibility and lead the popularization of NVMe SSDs.”
Samsung Electronics’ NVMe SSD 980 is 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, and costs $49.99, $69.99, and $129.99, respectively.
