Samsung accidentally leaked a page within their website for the upcoming Samsung 980 Pro SSD — first announced at CES.
The new SSD features 7,000MB/s read and 5,000MB/s write speeds when paired with a PCIe 4.0 motherboard. It is also compatible with PCIe 3.0, but it won’t reach those same speeds.
With the Samsung 980 Pro SSD, Samsung is bringing to the PC an SSD as fast or faster than the SONY PS5 internal SSD.
In comparison, the current Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD only have a max read of 3300MB/s.
If you are planning to get onboard the new PCIe 4.0 bus, there are currently two AMD chipsets that support it: the X570 and B550 motherboards.
BEST X570 MOTHERBOARD (PCIe 4.0)
The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero X570 ATX Motherboard features PCIe 4.0 (3 lanes), and two M.2 socket 4 type M slots with PCIe 4.0 support — which is ideal for this Samsung 980 PRO SSD to reach those 7000MB/s read / 5000MB/s Write speeds.
This motherboard is also compatible with the future Zen 3 Ryzen 4000 CPUs.
A cheaper alternative is the ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX Motherboard.
