The XPG MARS 980 BLADE is a high-performance PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe 2.0 M.2 2280 SSD designed for gaming laptops, desktops, and PS5 storage expansion. Available in 1TB (SMAR-980B-1TCS), 2TB (SMAR-980B-2TCS), and 4TB (SMAR-980B-4TCS) capacities, it uses a Silicon Motion SM2508 controller with 232-layer 3D TLC NAND and dual-sided Samsung LPDDR4 DRAM cache (1GB per 1TB capacity). It achieves blazing sequential read/write speeds of up to 14,000/13,000 MB/s (1TB model: 14,000/10,000 MB/s) and random 4K IOPS of 2,000K read/1,650K write, doubling PCIe Gen4 performance and surpassing Gen3 by 8x. Optimized for AI workloads and compatible with Intel and AMD platforms, it’s backward compatible with PCIe 4.0/3.0, delivering up to 6,500 MB/s read on PS5. Its TSMC 6nm controller ensures power efficiency and low heat, eliminating bulky cooling needs, ideal for compact systems. With SLC caching, DRAM buffer, and LDPC error correction, it ensures fast system loading and data integrity. The SSD Toolbox with S.M.A.R.T. monitoring tracks health and firmware updates. Endurance is robust at 740TBW (1TB), 1480TBW (2TB), and 2960TBW (4TB), backed by a 5-year warranty. Its double-sided design may limit laptop compatibility, but it excels in desktops and PS5, offering unmatched value at $135 (1TB), $170 (2TB), and $385 (4TB).
