Tech Short | Samsung 980 Pro NVMe SSD Speed Test - 52GB Copied Under 1 Minute

Copying almost 52GB of files from one NVMe drive to another shows how fast these SSDs drives really can be, hitting speeds of over 2GB/sec. The whole transfer takes under one minute.

SSDs used:
- Samsung 970 Pro (review below)

- Samsung 980 Pro (review below)

Thanks for watching and as always: Stay safe.

Seriously tech reviewers should focus more test like this instead of the generic crystal disk mark test because this is more practical of everyday usage considering that people do a lot of transfer between drives with the uptake of 4K movies. Great job and keep it up with more test like this for future reviews.

My 980 pro from Amazon just arrived, and this is mind-blowing

I think real performance of the drive can be know on sequential is by only copying single file of large size may be 100GB one single file. When you try to copy a group of file which sums to as said 52GB then it does fluctuate and it depends on files count and individual file size. But, actual maximum potential or cache check can only be done by one single but large file size copy test especially on both separate nvme drive or same nvme drive.

[UnknownPerson-nlte]

fluctuation is due to large number of files if you copy a single 52 gb file, you'll get a constant 2gb/s+ speed

Hello, is it on a PCI-E 4.0 motherboard you get this result ?

[robbiemurdza]

Shouldn't this drive be running at something like 4gb/s to 5gb/s or is your motherboard/cpu bottlenecking it?

File transfer starts here 01:00 // Thanks for showing how fast this ssd is :)

Is it wrong to put 2 pieces ( SAMSUNG 980 PRO 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen4) in motherboard b550-E ??

just built my new computer. i have a 980 pro moving a 12 gig movie over to another 980 pro and the screen just popped up in a flash and was gone. i was so confused i had to recheck to see if the movie was there.

If using enclosure can i get the same speed? Im using 980 pro pc transfer movie to 980 pro (nvme enclosure) only get 700mb speed..

[ChickenCheff]

hi! does it means it can donwload 52gb at nearly same speed?

[Sumit-lkol]

And what speed you're getting within same drive file transfer ? I mean 980 pro to 980 pro (copying and pasting file in same drive)

My Samsung 970 evo copies files at lightning speed at start, but speed suddenly drops after copying like around 5Gb of data..
It is only fast at start then drops to like 20mb/s.. What to do

[hychan]

why mine doesn't like this. I got 980 pro 500gb. copying 1.5Gb of multiple files to 970 evo. it tooks around 10-15 mins.
I tested the speed and scan everything with Samsung Magician, everything is fine.

[HenryTheBoilermakerrdYear]

Hi where is the 5000 mbps write speed samsung promised? Am I missing something?

[nyrox]

Its me or you have the same voice as Dwight in The Office

Hi, I bought 980 Pro 1TB installed on Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro Gen 4 PCIe 4.0 slot as single partition for OS, but the speed is not up to the mark, speed shows only 115mbps, magician software software shows read and write speed normally but copying is too slow please help

[MdParvez-rgev]

Can I use this 980 pro on Acer Predator Helios 300 ph315-51 with 15 8th gen processor it has 128GB hynix ssd m.2sata (pre-installed) I want to updgrade it to 980 pro
Will it work ???

[harveerSingh-iyxz]

Yeah definately far more better than wd sn570 ssd
