Samsung Launches 980 NVMe, DRAM-less SSD

SSD 980
Samsung launched the 980 NVMe SSD. This is the company’s first consumer drive without DRAM. Delivering the highest performance among DRAM-less SSDs, Samsung claims the new 980 makes blazing NVMe speeds more accessible to a wider range of users.

Previously, DRAM-less designs have presented a disadvantage in speed without short-term memory at hand for fast access to data. Samsung’s 980 utilizes Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology, which links the drive directly to the host processor’s DRAM to overcome any performance drawbacks. This technology, coupled with the company’s latest sixth-generation V-NAND as well as optimized controller and firmware, enables the 980 to provide NVMe performance with six times the speed of SATA SSDs. Sequential read and write speeds come in at up to 3,500 and 3,000 MB/s, while random read and write performances are rated as high as 500K IOPS and 480K IOPS, respectively.

The newly upgraded Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 also offers significantly enhanced sustained performance over the previous iteration by allocating a much larger buffer storage area inside the drive.

For users working with extremely large files or running graphics-heavy games, the new ‘Full Power Mode’ added to Samsung’s Magician 6.3 software allows the drive to continuously run at peak performance for uninterrupted work and play.

Additionally, users will no longer have to worry about their drive overheating, thanks to its advanced thermal designs. With Dynamic Thermal Guard technology, nickel-coated controller and heat spreader label solutions available in Samsung’s high-end 980 series, users can enjoy the stable and reliable performance even during prolonged use.

The SSD further features improved power efficiency of up to 56% when compared to the previous 970 EVO, allowing laptop users to better manage power usage.

The Samsung 980 SSD is available at an Rs. 6,499 for the 250GB, Rs. 8,999 for the 500GB and Rs. 16,999 for the 1TB capacity.
