![]() We believe it to be a multi-core Arm architecture that may be manufactured using its 14nm process, especially since the 980 Pro was so proudly touted for being manufactured on the company’s 8nm process node. The company wasn’t too forthcoming with deeper details on the controller. Speaking of which, Samsung’s Pablo, an NVMe 1.4 compliant SSD controller, powers the 980. The company also provides additional software to quickly clone your old data to your new Samsung SSD. Unforunately Magician 6.3 isn't available for today's review, but Samsung says it will be available within the next few weeks. Like the WD Black's SSD Dashboard Game Mode, this feature allows the 980 to operate at peak performance by disabling the lower power states, thus reducing the latency associated with transitioning between power states. Magician 6.3 comes with the same capabilities as prior versions but also brings the debut of Full Power Mode support. Samsung's Magician application is one of the best pieces of storage management software available, and it's getting better with its next iteration. The 980 also boasts the same AES 256-bit Full Disk Encryption feature set that's compliant with TCG/Opal v2.0 and Encrypted Drive (IEEE1667) standards. Like the 980 Pro and 970 Evo Plus, the new 980 comes factory over-provisioned by roughly 9% and is backed by a five-year warranty or up to the respective TBW rating, which varies based on the capacity of the drive (150 TB per 250GB). That stands in contrast to the rest of the company’s SSD families, many of which span from 2TB to 8TB and cost hundreds of dollars. ![]() With prices of $50, $70, and $130, the 980 hits the market with affordable price points at each capacity. Samsung targets the 980 at lower price points with capacities that include 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB models.
