About this product
The Samsung PM981a 1TB NVMe M.2 2280 SSD is an internal solid state drive built for PC systems. It features a 1 TB storage capacity with a PCIe NVMe M.2 interface for high-speed data transfer. The drive comes in a green color and a 0.7-inch form factor, suitable for compact installations. With a 4x write speed and 550 Mbps transfer rate, it's designed to offer improved performance over traditional hard drives, supporting both HDD and SSD storage formats.
Our take
If you're in the market for a reliable 1TB internal SSD for your PC, this Samsung PM981a is worth considering. The NVMe M.2 interface ensures a significant speed bump over older SATA drives. I find the 1TB capacity to be a sweet spot for most users, providing ample room for an OS and a good number of applications or games. The 0.7-inch form factor is compact, which is great, but the 550 Mbps transfer rate listed is perplexing for a modern NVMe drive, as most would expect much higher figures from PCIe technology.
