That means that the 980PRO will still be fully compatible (might need to update the motherboard bios though) but it will only run at PCIe 3.0 speeds. That does not mean it won’t be fast, actually I doubt you will even notice any difference on a daily basis between PCIe 3.0 and 4.0. Hope this helps. Take care! **Q: In the description title it says pcie 4.0 but in the “about this item” text it says pcie 3.0. Which is it?** A: PCI 4.0. It’s needed for those speeds. I have the 2TB version and it’s blisteringly fast. It also clearly shows 4.0 on the item itself if you look at the photos. **Q: Are there any suitable external housings which could take this m.2 pcie 4.0 card and allow it to work as an external ssd (thunderbolt) at full speed?** A: If this is about the 1TB 980 then I think that SSD is PCIe 3.0 not 4.0 . Downside it's not as fast as you might have hoped, upside its max speeds are probably within the limits of Thunderbolt. Box says 'read speed up to 3500MB/s' **Q: Will this fit in PS5?** A: Yes, as someone who owns one and has put in my sons PS5 it worked great ## Frequently Bought Together - Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD (MZ-V8P2T0BW), 2 TB, PCIe 4.0, 7,000 MB/s Read, 5,000 MB/s Write, Internal Solid State Drive - AMD Ryzensets 5 7600X Processor (integrated radeon graphics, 6 cores/12 threads, 105W TDP, AM5 socket, 38MB cache, up to 5.3 GHz max boost, no cooler) - Corsair RM750e (2023) Fully Modular Low-Noise ATX Power Supply - ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 Compliant - 105°C-Rated Capacitors - 80 PLUS Gold Efficiency - Modern Standby Support - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/273406101-samsung-980-pro-m-2-nvme-ssd-mz-v8p2t0bw-2](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/273406101-samsung-980-pro-m-2-nvme-ssd-mz-v8p2t0bw-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
