Packed with speed
Get right to it. The 980 harnesses nearly all the speed
advantages of PCIe 3.0 through HMB* technology and NVMe
efficiency. The DRAM-less design delivers exceptional value,
achieving breakneck sequential read/write speeds up to
3,100/2,600 MB/s**, and over 6.2x*** the speed of SATA SSDs.
*HMB (Host Memory Buffer) technology enables the SSD to use
the DRAM of the host system for read/write caching and
buffering.
**Performance may vary depending on the SSD�s firmware
version, system and hardware configuration. Performance
measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0. The write
performances were measured with Intelligent TurboWrite
technology activated. Intelligent TurboWrite operates only
within a specific data transfer size. For detailed
information, please contact your local service center. Test
