\"\"Samsung is speeding up their SSD line again. With the 980 Pro
\nseries, the NVMe SSDs are attached via PCIe 4.0 allowing new
\ntransfer speeds up to 7000 MB\/s read and 5000 MB\/s write
\nspeeds depending on which disk size you install.<\/p>\n

The 980 Pro series will be initially released in 250, 500 and 1000GB sizes thus allowing for various combinations of system storage. So to tell that you could pop in a 250GB disk for the OS and a 1000GB disk for games. For long-term data storage these disks will be simply too expensive. one could opt in for a 2TB SATA SSD to store large amounts of data at a reasonable price and with Copy speeds of 550MB\/s it’s still sufficient speed-wise. They will be solely available as M.2 SSDs as speeds widely exceed the capacity of SATA.<\/p>\n

There’s no word about pricing yet but most likely the prices might be similar or slightly higher compared to the current 970 Pro models. Samsung, however, did not loose a word about the availablility of the disk at all. Expectations go from Late Q4 ’20 to Q1 ’21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
