Remember this is a PCIe 4.0 drive so you'll need to make sure your existing - or upcoming - rig has the right specs to house and handle it. It absolutely is a component for the best gaming PCs - and one day the best gaming laptops, I'm sure.

Offering speeds of up to 7,000MB/s read and 5,000MB/s write, this drive has the potential to be a game-changer for a lot of machines. Sheer plug-and-go performance is also complemented by Samsung's excellent Magician software which gives you a heap of info on the state and health of your drive. Summing it up, in their in-depth review, our friends at our sister-site TechRadar called the 980 PRO "The Samsung 980 Pro is a speed machine, and easily the fastest SSD we've ever tested. If you want to future-proof your system, this is the SSD for you."

Just to be clear from a console perspective, we cannot be 100% sure that this drive will be a dead cert for being a compatible PS5 SSD - we just don't know this for sure until Sony breaks cover on this. This could happen at any time now though, as the last we heard was that Sony was going to give an update on it 'in the summer'. However, we are cautiously optimistic about these drives, as Sony would surely want folks to team their PS5 with the best SSDs going - if you want to take a punt, we reckon the Samsung 980 PRO is a good one to roll the dice one.

However, if you're interested in a Samsung drive of the SATA variety, we've also included some solid discounts on the 870 QVO SSDs below which could be just the ticket for sorting out your storage situation in one hit.
