Samsung 990 internal SSD 1 TB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0, 7150 MB/s, MZ-V9V1T0BW

The Samsung 990 (MZ-V9V1T0BW) is a 1 TB internal SSD in the M.2 2280 form factor, using a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and the NVMe 2.0 protocol. Reads of up to 7150 MB/s and writes of up to 6450 MB/s come close to what a PCIe 4.0 platform can deliver.

  • Capacity: 1 TB
  • Interface and form factor: M.2 2280, PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0
  • Speed: up to 7150 MB/s read, up to 6450 MB/s write
  • Random 4K: up to 700,000 IOPS read, up to 1,100,000 IOPS write
  • Security: 256-bit AES hardware encryption, TCG Opal 2.0
  • Power draw: 4 W reading, 3.7 W writing, 0.055 W idle, DevSlp support

Description

High speed on a small power budget

The drive draws 3.7 W when writing and just 0.055 W at idle, so it also suits laptops, where every watt affects battery life. Writes of up to 6450 MB/s are nearly as fast as reads, so installing large games and exporting video projects does not hold up your work. Hardware AES encryption protects data without loading the processor.

Who this internal SSD is for

Builders fitting a fast system drive into a new PCIe 4.0 machine; gamers who need room for several large titles; and photographers and video makers working with big files. Samsung Magician lets you check drive health, update firmware and move data over from an old drive.

Questions & answers

Is it suitable for a laptop?

Yes, if the laptop has an M.2 2280 slot with NVMe PCIe support. The drive is only 2.38 mm thick, so it fits slim machines too.

Does it work on a PCIe 3.0 motherboard?

PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives usually work in a PCIe 3.0 slot as well, but the slot interface then limits speed, and 7150 MB/s reads will not be reached.

What does Samsung Magician do?

It is free Samsung software that transfers data to the new drive, shows drive health and installs firmware updates.
