About this product

Our take
I'm always a fan of Samsung SSDs, and this PM991A 1TB drive looks like a solid performer. The 3100MB/s read and 2000MB/s write speeds are quite good for a PCIe Gen3x4 drive, translating into quick boot times and snappy application launches. The inclusion of a 256MB cache is a definite plus for sustained performance, especially compared to DRAM-less drives. It's compatible with both laptops and PCs, and the M.2 2280 form factor is standard. Features like Hot Swap and Low Noise Level are nice, though 'Removable' is a given for an internal drive. This is a robust choice if you're upgrading an older system.
