Not every laptop needs Gen 4 speeds — and for a machine that runs Windows, Office, and everyday media, the 500GB NVMe SSD (Samsung 980 Gen 3) hits exactly the right point between cost and performance. It's a brand-new, quality-checked Samsung drive available from our shop at Hafeez Center, Gulberg III, Lahore, running on the Samsung in-house controller that consistently outperforms the spec sheet in real-world use.
Drive Specifications
The Samsung 980 500GB is a DRAM-less Gen 3 NVMe drive, but Samsung's proprietary controller and V-NAND process keep it fast and efficient in daily workloads. Sequential reads hit 3,500 MB/s and writes reach 3,000 MB/s — about 6x faster than any SATA SSD in real sequential transfers. It runs cool and draws less power than comparable drives, which matters for battery life on machines used in Lahore, Karachi, or Faisalabad without a constant power outlet. The 500GB Samsung 980 NVMe SSD price in Pakistan 2026 is Rs. 11,299 — new and sealed.

What It Fits
The Samsung 980 fits any laptop with an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 slot. This includes Intel 8th through 11th gen platforms, AMD Ryzen 3000 and 4000 series, and many older budget gaming machines. It also runs in Gen 4 slots at Gen 3 speeds — so it'll work fine in a newer machine as a secondary drive.
