2TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe Client SSD

The Samsung PM9A1 is a 2TB M.2 2280 internal SSD built on V-NAND technology. It uses a PCIe Gen4 NVMe interface to deliver sequential reads up to 7,000 MB/s and writes up to 5,200 MB/s. Random read performance reaches 1,000,000K IOPS with random writes up to 850,000K IOPS. This OEM version matches the 980 PRO specification without retail packaging.

Suits builds needing maximum Gen4 throughput

This drive fits workloads that demand sustained high bandwidth and low latency on a PCIe Gen4 platform. It is not suited for systems limited to PCIe Gen3, where the controller cannot reach its rated speeds. Buyers who need hardware encryption or a five-year retail warranty should consider alternatives.

PCIe Gen4 NVMe interface

The drive requires a motherboard with an M.2 key-M slot wired for PCIe Gen4 to achieve the listed 7,000 MB/s sequential read and 5,200 MB/s sequential write figures. Installation in a Gen3 slot will cap throughput at the lower link rate.

Questions about this item

What motherboard slot is required for the 2 TB M.2 2280 NVMe drive?

The drive fits a standard M.2 2280 slot that supports PCIe Gen4 NVMe operation.

Will the 2 TB PM9A1 run at full speed in a PCIe Gen3 slot?

It will operate at PCIe Gen3 speeds, limiting sequential reads to roughly 3 500 MB/s instead of the rated 7 000 MB/s.

How can I verify the 2 TB drive delivers its rated 7 000 MB/s sequential read after installation?

Run a benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark on an empty drive and confirm sequential read results approach 7 000 MB/s.
