Google or look up 980 vs 980 pro to see the major difference in the line.
And then you can check 980 vs competing lines.
at this price <$45, which drive is better than 980?

1 gigabit = 1000 megabit
10 gigabit = 10000 megabit
That's some pretty incredible speed on those drives And now I feel old...
Most affordable enclosures (20$) top out at 10 gbps, well below the max speed of this or any other nvme drives (can do 3x). Still, 10 gbps is much better than almost all flash drives you can get.
The usb 4 enclosure can do 40 gbps, but are much bb more expensive.
You should consider getting the Pro version if you have thoughts about using the drive in PC or PS5 later. It's only 15 more and much more future proof.
Do you mind sharing which enclosures you'd recommend?

It's the lowest temperature (rough testing) of the 3 I used. It's also the hardest to set up, as the heat pad is well sandwiched between the drive and the full metal enclosure.
not a super solid drive either, and has been beat by the p41 plus (not to be mistaken by the incredible p41 platinum) which has been $43 for some time now. P41 plus may barely be able to take advantage of pcie gen 4 speeds, but its still a good SM2269XT drive, better than the pablo crap controller which has never been in a good drive, samsung put in the 980.
Many of the enclosures use the same RTL9210B chip for USB 3.2 gen2 speeds. The major differences are ease of installation, heat management (which affects sustained speeds), durability, and price.
I went with the UGREEN M.2 NVMe SATA SSD enclosure for installation ease and heat mgmt.
Nomenclature: the upper case B means Byte. Lower case bit. A Byte is 8 bits.
So 7,000 MB/s would be 8 * 7,000 MB/s = 56,000 megabits / second. Divide by 1,000 you get 56 gbps (gigabits / second). Samsung 980 speed.
The USB 3.2 gen 2 spec is 10 gbps (gigabits per second), or 10 * 1000 = 10,000 mbps, or 1,250 MBps (megaBytes / second). This is the enclosure speed.
So, it's 56gbps of samsung vs 10 gbps of the enclosure (or 7,000 MBs vs 1,250 Mbps). The Samsung drive is capable of being significantly faster than what the enclosure can deliver.
Right?

Edit, just saw many posts similar to mine. Thanks to many people for defending my original post before me.

2. Lifespan is a good point, if thats what youre really after, then yeah. Regardless, 400TBW is still enough for the average consumer in a budget drive.
3. The Samsung is not 10% cheaper than a P41 plus. P41 is $43 on newegg and this samsung is $45. Still very close in price, even though P41 plus is cheaper.
4. The vast difference in review amounts on amazon is for a few reasons. Firstly, amazon typically has better deals on the samsungs while newegg typically has better deals on the solidigms (P41 plus manufacturer). Secondly, the 980 has been out for longer than the P41 plus, its just gonna get more reviews doing this. Thirdly, the general consumer base is not on average well informed on the specs of specific drives, and will blindly buy a drive due to brand loyalty, even if it means buying an inferior product. So basically consumers who go the samsung 980 route are buying a slower drive, a less efficient/hotter running drive, and a more expensive drive just for a little bit of extra rated endurance and the name "samsung" written on it.
