Pros: Jumping from area to area in game are instant now. No waiting. I mean unless you count a quarter of a second. Large load times on other games I have are cut in half at least. When you see the load boarder in game and you jump through it, it insta loads and your back playing. Works well with my 3950x/x570 setup no issues. Just popped it in and used clonezilla to copy my data. no issues.
Cons: not even the price is a con.
Overall Review: Don't worry about pulling the trigger on this one. A 1TB 980 pro is worth your hard earned cash, if you want faster load times in game. It does not disappoint. It's just more of a fact rather than an exaggeration. Well until PCIE 4.0 Optane comes out. Current Optane 4K random reads still beats this product, but at 5 times the price or more. So for the price of the 980 pro it's a solid choice for gaming.
