Samsung SSDs 980 lack DRAM and PCIe 4.0

According to the source, Samsung is going to add the Samsung 980 M.2 model with NVMe support to its range of solid state drives. The novelty, similar in name to the Samsung 980 Pro, belongs to the budget segment. Unlike the Samsung 980 Pro, the Samsung 980 is PCIe 3.0 x4, not PCIe 4.0. Plus the Samsung 980 doesn’t have DRAM cache. At the same time, the manufacturer did not use QLC flash memory, but left the Samsung 980 with the same 136-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory as in the Samsung 980 Pro.
