It’s finally here! MARS 980 BLADE is a gaming Gen5 SSD built for laptops, featuring PCIe Gen5 x4 and NVMe 2.0 support. Its compact design ensures stable performance even in tight spaces, optimized for AI workloads and compatible with the latest Intel and AMD platforms. No matter where it's installed, it's built to go beyond the limits.
The MARS 980 BLADE features a sequential read/write speed of 14,000/13,000MB per second, which is double the performance of PCIe Gen4 SSDs and 8x faster than standard Gen3 SSDs. It is fully backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 platforms. Complete every challenge in mere seconds!
Built with TSMC’s advanced 6nm process, the MARS 980 BLADE delivers superior performance-to-power efficiency, reducing heat generation in PCIe 5.0 SSDs and eliminating the need for bulky cooling—making it ideal for laptops and compact systems.
The MARS 980 BLADE utilizes a PCIe 5.0 transmission interface and can be installed in the PS5 as an expansion hard drive to alleviate PS5 storage insufficiency issues. Not only does the MARS 980 BLADE fit perfectly into the PS5'a drive slot, it also provides a smooth and no-lag gaming experience while enjoying triple A masterpieces.
