Key strengths
Rated up to 14,800 MB/s sequential read and 13,400 MB/s sequential write over PCIe 5.0 x4, with up to 2.2 million random read and 2.6 million random write IOPS.
TLC V-NAND with a 4 GB LPDDR4X DRAM cache and a 5 nm controller, plus a five-year warranty covering up to 2,400 TB written.
Before you buy
No factory heatsink, so plan for motherboard or case cooling. Peak write speed relies on the TurboWrite cache, and Samsung does not list a post-cache write speed for this model.
It also works in PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 x4 slots, but its rated speeds need a PCIe 5.0 x4 slot.
Every specification. With its source.
