Capacity and audience

This 512GB M.2 2280 drive uses MLC flash and a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 link to serve professionals who need sustained throughput for heavy workloads. The Samsung UBX controller and 512MB DRAM cache keep latency low during long sessions.

Sustained load behaviour

Sequential writes reach 1500 MBps and random writes hit 110,000 IOPS at QD32, so performance does not collapse once the SLC buffer fills. Average active power stays at 5.7W with a 7.0W burst ceiling, and the drive is rated for 0°C to 70°C operation.

Deciding specification

The MLC memory components deliver 1,500,000 hours MTBF and 43,000 IOPS random write at QD1, a combination that determines whether the drive meets professional endurance requirements.
