Speed that's needed in gaming

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used many other SSD's but Samsung always stands out. I have the 980 and 980 pro. Super faster and I never questioned how fast they go. You can see the speed on boot up and loading games like COD, New World, and Marvel Rivals. Soon as the prices drop I will be order 4 more. Why? Because I build gaming PC's and only use Samsung SSD's. Thanks Samsung

pfft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly overbuilt for my gaming choices. Boots like a demon and I can do nothing about how often my interest in gaming changes seeing that I feel the need to delete or write over this disc several times annually fortunately at whatever break next week it is done take very long. Whenever I use it for creating again writing is unbelievably fast that'll just go grab a cup of coffee and have a week's worth of work done

Solid product for enthusiasts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've heard of issues with these drives but I bought it for my homelab server. It's been up for two years and maintaining it's speed and temperatures just fine with no errors at all. I do use crystal disk info to keep an eye on things because the drives are loaded. Overall five out of five.
