  • La versione da 1TB offre una buona capacità per la maggior parte dei giocatori ma il prezzo rimane poco competitivo. Sulla carta dovrebbe essere più economico da produrre ma abbiamo una tassa premium ingiustificabile. Questa linea di SSD rimane ottima se

  • Samsung aveva un obiettivo con questo 980, quello di ridurre i costi senza abbassare troppo le prestazioni. Un obiettivo che possiamo dire perfettamente raggiunto, le tecnologie applicate in sostituzione della DRAM funzionano bene nell'utilizzo quotidiano...

  • Il Samsung 980 è uno dei migliori SSD DRAMless che abbiamo avuto modo di provare. L'Host Memory Buffer e la tecnologia Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 compensano l'assenza della DRAM e permettono al nuovo SSD della casa coreana di offrire prestazioni di alto l...

  • € 0,14/GiByte
  • Selten fällt es uns bei einem Modell schwer, sie in eine der vorhandenen Schubladen zu stecken wie bei der neuen Samsung SSD 980. Eine SSD ohne DRAM ist nicht nur für Samsung ein Novum, sondern eine mit einer ansonsten guten Leistung und Ausstattung auch...

  • Wieder einmal zeigt sich: Hätte sich der Testbericht allein auf die Standard-Benchmarks gestützt, wäre die Samsung 980 mit solider Leistung in ihrer Klasse und ohne erkennbare Schwächen weggekommen. Die vom Hersteller versprochene Leistung wird im Crystal...

  • Hohes Lesetempo, Hohes Schreibtempo, Hohe Programmbeschleunigung, Samsung Magician für den Datenumzug dabei (Download-Version)
  • IOPS beim Schreiben etwas gering
  • Die Samsung 980 bot im Test ein durchweg hohes Tempo, zählt aber nicht zu den schnellsten M.2-SSDs mit PCI-Express-3.0-Anschluss. Aber das will sie auch gar nicht sein. Die 980 will eher durch ein gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis überzeugen – und das tut...

  • Gute Verarbeitung,Geschwindigkeit innerhalb TurboWrite 2.0,Preis
  • Kein integrierter DRAM-Cache,Geschwindigkeit außerhalb TurboWrite 2.0
  • Mit dem SSD 980 hat Samsung seine Produktpalette um eine per PCIe angebundene M.2 SSD erweitert, welche zwar nicht zu den schnellsten Modellen ihrer Art gehört, in unserem Test aber dennoch weitestgehend zu überzeugen wusste. Der größte Kritikpunkt ist in...
