With the release of newer AMD Ryzen motherboards, PCIe Gen4 SSDs followed suit and gradually started to hit the market. It was only a matter of time before Samsung made its first appearance in this category, which they've done today. The Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, is a client SSD that features the company’s V-NAND 3bit MLC technology and a newly-developed, in-house Elpis SSD controller. The company’s first PCIe 4.0 drive is designed for high-end PCs, workstations, and game consoles, and is available in capacities ranging from 250GB to 2TB (though the largest model does not have a release date as of the publication of this review).
