SAMSUNG 980 500GB M.2 NVMe GEN 3 INTERNAL SSD – OEM FRESH UNIT NEW (NO BOX)

The Samsung 980 500GB M.2 NVMe Gen3 Internal SSD is a competent, value-focused storage solution designed for everyday computing, gaming, and content creation. Operating over the PCIe Gen 3 x4 interface and using the M.2 2280 form factor, it slots directly into compatible desktops, laptops, and mini-PCs that support M.2 NVMe drives. This unit is sold as an OEM fresh unit without retail packaging. The drive itself is new and unused; buyers simply receive the SSD without an accompanying box or accessories. This is a common distribution format for system builders and upgraders who do not require retail packaging. Performance is a clear highlight. Sequential read speeds reach up to 3,500 MB/s, enabling noticeably faster boot times, application launches, and large-file transfers compared to SATA SSDs, which are typically capped around 550 MB/s. Sequential write speeds reach up to 2,600 MB/s, making it well-suited to tasks such as video editing, game asset loading, and bulk file copying. Samsung is a well-established name in NAND flash storage, and the 980 series targets mainstream users who want NVMe performance without moving to the premium Gen4 tier. For users whose systems do not support PCIe Gen4, the 980 provides a practical and cost-effective upgrade path.
