1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD with heatsink

The Samsung 990 PRO MZ-V9P1T0CW is a 1TB internal solid-state drive built on V7 V-NAND 3bit MLC and a Samsung controller with 1GB DRAM cache. It uses the M.2 2280 form factor and connects through a PCI-Express Gen 4.0 x4 interface running NVMe 2.0. The bundled heatsink targets desktops, laptops meeting the PCI-SIG D8 standard and PlayStation 5 consoles.

1TB capacity and sequential speed headroom

Rated sequential reads reach 7450 MBps and writes 6900 MBps, with random performance up to 1400K read and 1550K write IOPS. The drive delivers 40% faster random reads and 55% faster random writes than the 980 PRO, while improving performance per watt by 50%. AES 256-bit encryption with TCG/Opal and IEEE 1667 support secures data at rest.

PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe 2.0 interface limits

The PCIe 4.0 x4 link caps theoretical bandwidth near 8 GBps, so the 7450 MBps read ceiling leaves little headroom for protocol overhead. NVMe 2.0 adds namespace management and endurance features but does not raise the lane speed. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 will restrict the drive to roughly half its rated throughput.

Questions about this item

Will the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface work in my older motherboard that only has a PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot?

The drive is backward compatible and will function in a PCIe 3.0 slot, though sequential speeds will be limited to the Gen 3 bandwidth ceiling.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the rated 7450 MBps read and 6900 MBps write performance after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark using the NVMe 2.0 protocol queue depth settings and compare the sequential results to the 7450 MBps read and 6900 MBps write figures.

Does the retail box include a mounting screw for the M.2 2280 form factor or must I source one separately?

The package contains the SSD with the integrated heatsink pre-attached; a motherboard mounting screw is not included and must be supplied by the board or purchased separately.
