Can a Samsung 980 PRO Gen 4 SSD deliver better performance than a 970 EVO Plus Gen 3 SSD when both are running on a PCIe Gen 3 motherboard? In this video, I test and compare both 2TB M.2 NVMe SSDs using benchmark tools and real-world file transfers to help you decide if it’s worth buying a Gen 4 SSD when your system only supports PCIe Gen 3.
What you’ll learn:
– Speed differences in sequential read/write and random IOPS
– Thermal behavior and sustained performance
– Whether the 980 PRO offers any advantage over the 970 EVO Plus on Gen 3
Great for PC builders, gamers, and anyone upgrading laptops or desktops with M.2 NVMe slots.
