M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD with high read and write speed

The proven Samsung Pablo controller supports four PCI Express lanes of the 3.0 standard. Thanks to the high NAND IO speeds of the 3D NAND memory, four channels are sufficient for the controller to connect the flash memory. In connection with the built-in 3D-NAND-TLC, the 1 TB SSD of the 980 series from Samsung achieves a solid 3,500 MB / s reading and 3,000 MB / s writing, as well as good IOPS values of 500,000 in 4KB read or 480,000 in 4KB-Write.

Up to 160 GB is reserved as an SLC cache for quick write operations. The Dynamic Thermal Guard algorithm ensures a low operating temperature even under high loads and thus minimizes heat-related drops in performance. With the Full Power Mode, the SSD can always be kept in an active mode so that graphics-intensive games or large files can be opened without delay after a break. This mode is activated through the Samsung Magician software.

Efficient 3D-NAND TLC with 128 layers
In the Samsung 980's 3D NAND memory, the memory cells are stacked in several layers. The triple-level cell architecture (TLC) makes it possible to store three bits per cell. This means that larger amounts of storage can be installed in a smaller area. The memory of the 980 with a total capacity of 1 TB is only equipped on one side, so that it has increased compatibility and can be installed in many notebooks thanks to its flat design.

The Samsung Pablo controller supports the NVMe 1.4 protocol and can also reserve up to 64 MB of the CPU DRAM via the host memory buffer (HMB) in order to accelerate memory operations. Furthermore, the memory of the SSD is always kept clean and tidy with the help of the auto garbage collection algorithm. Samsung guarantees an MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) of at least 1.5 million hours and gives a guarantee of 5 years or 600 TBW.
