As reported by Anandtech, Samsung has showcased its next-gen 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 SSD at CES. This M.2 NVMe SSD drive would be Samsung's first consumer SSD to support PCIe 4.0 SSD. Information regarding this SSD is limited, as it was just recently shown off at CES 2020 but shows that Samsung is now ready to start shifting its manufacturing attention to the consumer PCIe 4.0 market.

Since this is just a preview of this upcoming SSD instead of a formal announcement, the info released about this SSD is minimal. What has been shown by Samsung is that this drive utilizes PCIe Gen4 NVMe technology, offers read speeds up to 6500 MB/s, and this drives offers write speeds of up to 5000 MB/s. Those speeds are a bit faster than the current PCIe 4.0 drives using the Phison E16 controller, but at the end of 2020, the Phsion E18 and other controllers could be offering speeds of up to 7 GB/s.
