The new Samsung SSD 980 (nope, no EVO today folks) enters the field of internal solid-state drives with some pretty stiff goals to meet. Its older brother, the PCI Express 4.0-based Samsung SSD 980 Pro ($229 for 1TB), blew out our testing benchmarks across the board when we reviewed it back in September of last year, and even though the PCI Express 3.0-based Intel SSD 670p ($154.99 for 1TB), launched last week, gives the SSD 980 some healthy competition, the SSD 980 has come right in and stolen the first-place performance and value crown for PCI Express 3.0 drives back for Samsung once again.
