2TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD

The Samsung 960 PRO MZ-V6P2T0BW is a 2TB internal solid state drive built on 3D NAND with a Polaris controller and 1GB DRAM cache. It connects via PCI-Express 3.0 x4 in the M.2 2280 form factor. Sequential reads reach up to 3500 MBps and writes up to 2100 MBps.

Workstation and enthusiast workloads

This drive suits users who need sustained high throughput for large-file editing, heavy multitasking or demanding applications. Random read peaks at 440,000 IOPS (QD32) and random write at 360,000 IOPS (QD32). Buyers with lighter workloads or systems limited to slower interfaces may not utilise the full performance envelope.

PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface requirement

The single specification that decides compatibility is the PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface. The motherboard must provide an M.2 slot wired for four lanes of PCI-Express 3.0 to achieve the rated speeds. Without that connection the drive will not operate at its published sequential and random figures.

Questions about this item

Will the M.2 2280 form factor fit my motherboard slot?

The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor measuring 80.00mm long, 22.10mm wide and 2.30mm high, so it fits any standard M.2 2280 slot.

What is the correct way to install the PCI-Express 3.0 x4 drive and what step is often missed?

Insert the drive at an angle into the M.2 slot, press it flat and secure it with the motherboard screw; the step often missed is enabling the NVMe option in the BIOS so the OS sees the drive.

How long before the 3D NAND memory might need replacement under normal use?

The drive carries an MTBF of 1,500,000 hours and a 5-year limited warranty, indicating a very long service life before any replacement would be considered.
