Samsung 990 1TB External SSD with PCIe 4.0 x4 (NVMe), Hardware Encryption, Black

The Samsung 990 SSD 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 (MZ-V9V1T0BW) is an internal solid-state drive for high-performance computing. It uses the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and NVMe 2.0 protocol. Sequential read speeds reach up to 7,150 MB/s, while sequential write speeds peak at 6,450 MB/s. These speeds reduce loading times for large project files and complex software. The drive uses Samsung V-NAND memory to provide 1,000 GB of storage and connects directly to the motherboard via an M.2 slot to minimise latency.

The drive supports AES 256-bit encryption and TCG/Opal V2.0 standards for data security. It includes SMART and TRIM support for automated drive maintenance and health monitoring. The hardware is compatible with M.2 2280 slots in desktops and laptops, operating at a standard 3.3V. It can be used as a primary boot drive or a high-speed workspace for demanding workloads. Samsung Magician software allows users to monitor performance metrics and update firmware.
