About this product
This SAMSUNG PM991A MZ-9LQ1T0B is a 1TB M.2 2230, noted as a renovation to M.2 2280, NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 SSD. It provides a storage capacity of 1TB, with read speeds up to 3100MB/s and write speeds of 2000MB/s. Compatible with both laptops and PCs, this internal SSD features a 512MB cache, Hot Swap capability, and a low noise level. It also comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
Our take
This Samsung PM991A offers a healthy 1TB of storage, which is ideal for a primary drive. The read speed of 3100MB/s is quite fast for a PCIe Gen3x4 SSD, ensuring quick system responses. What really stands out is the generous 512MB cache, which will certainly aid in performance consistency, especially under heavier workloads. The mention of 'Renovation M.2 2280' for a drive initially listed as M.2 2230 is a bit ambiguous, so users should verify the actual form factor they receive or need. The 2000MB write speed is decent, but not top-tier, and the 'Hot Swap' feature is less relevant for most internal M.2 installations. A 1-year warranty is standard.
