These are the best Samsung solid-state drives you can buy
Choosing the right solid-state drive (SSD) makes all the difference for day-to-day tasks or gaming, even more so if it’s the drive that contains the operating system. SATA SSDs took storage to the next level when seen against mechanical drives, but NVMe PCIe SSDs like the Samsung 980 user in a new dimension with fantastic read and write speeds at a reasonable price. As a result, it’s the best SSD in terms of performance and value for your PC or Chromebook.
Best Value SSD
Samsung 980
Staff Pick
The 2021 addition to Samsung’s SSD portfolio changes the dynamic around value. The Samsung 980 is an M.2 drive that costs less than the SATA variant, allowing it to stand out immediately. But, of course, you don’t miss out on any of the advantages of an M.2 SSD either: the 980 goes up to 3,500MB/s and 3,000MB/s for reads and writes, has a five-year warranty, and a 600TBW (terabytes written) endurance.
