More about the counter
“In addition to improved performance, the 980 PRO comes with a new heat management solution that provides improved reliability. While most of today’s high-performance NVMe SSDs use external copper coolers to dissipate heat, the Samsung 980 PRO instead has a nickel coating on the control and a heat spreader on the back of the SSD that provides efficient heat management.
These innovative heat dissipation features enable the device to maintain its compact and thin M.2 design. Samsung Dynamic Thermal Guardtechnology also ensures that the unit’s temperature stays at an appropriate level and reduces long-term performance changes. “
