Samsung 980 PRO SSD ヒートシンク付き 2TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 内蔵ソリッドステートハードドライブ熱制御最高速度 PS5対応 MZ-V8P2T0CW ブラック

This article covers Samsung 980 PRO SSD ヒートシンク付き 2TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 内蔵ソリッドステートハードドライブ 熱制御 最高速度 PS5対応 MZ-V8P2T0CW ブラック.

Overview

The Samsung 980 PRO SSD with Heatsink 2TB (model MZ-V8P2T0CW) is a high-performance NVMe M.2 internal SSD supporting the PCIe Gen 4 x4 interface. With sequential read speeds up to 7,000MB/s and write speeds up to 5,000MB/s, it delivers the kind of throughput that benefits both gaming enthusiasts and creative professionals working with large media files. What sets this model apart is the pre-installed heatsink, which uses data-center-grade thermal dissipation technology to keep the controller and NAND chips at optimal temperatures during sustained workloads. Samsung's nickel-coated controller further enhances thermal management, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy load. Positioned firmly in the high-end segment of the PCIe Gen 4 SSD market, this drive is also officially certified for use with the PlayStation 5 console, making it a versatile choice for both PC and console gamers.

Compatibility Guide

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor and requires an M.2 slot with PCIe Gen 4 x4 support to achieve full speed. It is backward compatible with PCIe Gen 3 slots, though performance will be limited to Gen 3 bandwidth (approximately 3,500MB/s). Supported interface: NVMe 1.3c Compatible motherboards: Intel Z590 / Z690 / Z790 / B660 / B760 series, AMD X570 / B550 / X670 / B650 series, and others with M.2 Key M slots PS5 compatibility: Fits directly into the PlayStation 5 internal expansion slot without additional adapters Caution: The integrated heatsink adds thickness; verify clearance in slim laptops or compact Mini-ITX builds before purchasing

Product Info

Released in September 2021, the Samsung 980 PRO SSD with Heatsink 2TB is a high-end NVMe drive built around Samsung's in-house Elpis controller and 128-layer TLC NAND flash memory. It includes 1GB of DRAM cache (on the 2TB model) to accelerate random read/write operations. Market positioning: High-end. It fully exploits PCIe Gen 4 bandwidth for professional workloads and high-end gaming. Warranty: 5 years or 1,200 TBW (whichever comes first) Power consumption: Approximately 6.5W during active operation Availability: Widely available through Japan, major electronics retailers, and PC specialty stores

Best Use Cases

High-end gamers: Ideal for loading modern AAA titles at maximum speed. Games leveraging Microsoft DirectStorage will see dramatically reduced level-load times compared to SATA SSDs. Creative professionals: Video editors working with 4K/8K footage and photographers handling large RAW libraries will benefit from the 5,000MB/s sequential write speed, reducing export and backup times. * PS5 owners: As an officially supported expansion drive, it delivers the same performance as the console's internal storage. The included heatsink means no additional thermal accessories are needed.

Things to Consider

If your system only supports PCIe Gen 3, the drive's effective speed will be capped at roughly 3,500MB/s, negating much of the performance premium over a mid-range Gen 3 SSD. In such cases, a more affordable Gen 3 drive may offer better value. The 2TB model carries a significant price premium. For users who only need fast storage for the OS and a few applications, the 500GB or 1TB variants paired with a secondary HDD or SATA SSD for bulk storage can be a more cost-effective solution. Because the heatsink adds physical bulk, this drive may not fit in ultra-slim laptops or some Mini-ITX cases with tight M.2 clearance. Always check the available space around the M.2 slot in your target system before purchasing.
