Description
ADATA XPG MARS 980 BLADE 4TB PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD
SMAR-980B-4TCS
The ADATA XPG MARS 980 BLADE 4TB (SMAR-980B-4TCS) is a flagship PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD designed for ultra-high-performance gaming systems, creator workstations, and powerful laptops. Built on the PCIe Gen5 x4 interface, it delivers incredible sequential speeds of up to 14,000 MB/s read and 13,000 MB/s write, providing roughly double the performance of PCIe Gen4 SSDs and significantly faster data transfers for demanding workloads.
The drive uses high-density 3D TLC NAND flash memory paired with an advanced Silicon Motion SM2508 controller, enabling extremely fast random performance and stable throughput when handling large files, gaming assets, and professional workloads.
Despite delivering extreme Gen5 performance, the MARS 980 BLADE maintains a slim M.2 2280 form factor, making it ideal for laptops and compact desktop systems where space and cooling are limited. Its efficient architecture helps maintain stable performance even in tighter environments, while still delivering next-generation speeds.
With support for NVMe 2.0, advanced LDPC error correction, and endurance ratings up to 2,960 TBW, the drive is built for long-term reliability and sustained heavy workloads.
Whether you’re building a cutting-edge gaming PC, upgrading a creator workstation, or expanding storage in a high-performance laptop, the XPG MARS 980 BLADE 4TB offers exceptional capacity, extreme speed, and next-generation storage technology.
