Operation

1) Can I use a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD at the same time as a SATA SSD or HDD?

Yes. There are no technical limitations in using an NVMe M.2 SSD concur-

rently with a SATA SSD or HDD. Please make sure your mainboard has a

sufcient number of interfaces to accommodate multiple storage devices.

2) Can Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs be RAIDed?

Yes. Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs can be grouped into a RAID formation.

Please ensure that your mainboard has a sufcient number of NVMe M.2

slots and that sufcient PCIe lanes are available for maximal performance.

3) Can the OS be installed on a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD?

Yes. Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs can be used as the primary storage device,

with the Operating System installed on the SSD.

4) Are Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs bootable when used in combination with an

add-in-card (AIC)?

Yes. An AIC is merely an adapter, and therefore does not change the

inherent bootability or connectivity of a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD. Please

note that depending on the quality of the AIC, the performance of your

Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD may, in rare cases, be below the performance

specications published by Samsung.

Performance

1) What is the difference between a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD and a regular SSD?

NVMe SSDs leverage a new type of interface and protocol – Non-Volatile

Memory Express – to break through the bottleneck limitations of SATA

based systems. Concretely, this means that whereas SATA SSDs’ maximal

performance does not exceed 550MB/s, NVMe SSDs can achieve transfer

speeds of about 3,500MB/s when connected via PCIe Gen.3 x4 lanes.

2) Why does my Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD not achieve its performance specs

in benchmark tests?

Benchmark test results may differ depending upon the system

environment, host software and hardware conguration. Please see the

data sheet for more information on the test conditions used by Samsung.

3) Do Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs have RAPID Mode support?

Samsung NVMe SSDs do not support RAPID Mode.

4) Do I need a heat sink for optimal performance of the Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD?

Samsung NVMe SSDs rarely require a heat sink, yet maintain optimal

performance thanks to Samsung’s advanced design and manufacturing

capabilities coupled with an integrated, heat dissipating thermal label.

In rare instances of extreme workloads (transfer of several hundreds of

GB), performance may be throttled through Samsung’s dynamic thermal

throttling algorithm to protect the SSDs integrity.

Please be aware, however, that an external heat source such as a high-

powered graphics card, or CPU placed in close proximity to a Samsung

NVMe SSD, can adversely affect airow around a Samsung NVMe SSD

which may lead to performance degradation. Therefore, please ensure

there is appropriate airow around your Samsung NVMe SSD.

Specifications

1) What is the physical size of a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD? Will it t my PC?

Samsung NVMe SSDs use the M.2 (2280) form factor. M.2 is an industry

standard, and M.2 SSDs typically measure 22mm in width. Various

standardized lengths range between 30mm and 110mm, with the 80mm

solution used by Samsung being the most common. This means that

Samsung NVMe SSDs are 22mm wide and 80mm long, and should

physically t in the majority of M.2 slots on mainboards.

It is also important to note that Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs are “single

sided” meaning that all components are mounted on just one side of the

PCB, ensuring a relatively “at” prole that ts in virtually all M.2 slots.

2) Do Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs have hardware encryption?

Samsung NVMe SSDs provide internal hardware encryption of all data

stored on the SSD, including the operating system. Data is decrypted

through a pre-boot authentication process. Because all user data is

encrypted, private information is protected against loss or theft.

Encryption is done by hardware, which provides a safer environment

without sacricing performance.

The encryption methods provided by each Samsung NVMe SSD are:

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard, Class0 SED) TCG/OPAL, and eDrive

Please note that you cannot use more than one encryption method

simultaneously.

3) Do Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs support TCG Opal?

TCG Opal is supported by Samsung NVMe SSDs (960EVO / PRO and

newer). It is an authentication method that employs the protocol specied

by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) meaning that you will need to

install TCG software supplied by a TCG OPAL software development

company.

User authentication is done by pre-boot authentication provided by the

software.

For more detailed information and instructions, please contact a TCG

software company. In addition, TCG/opal can only be enabled / disabled

by using special security software.

Others

1) What is the difference between the 960PRO and 960EVO?

The EVO series is designed for demanding mainstream users, while the

PRO series is destined for users with very high workload requirements for

their SSD, and the need for high capacities.

2) What is an AIC?

AIC stands for Add-in-Card and it is essentially an adapter that allows

connection of a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD to a standard PCIe x16 slot,

instead of an M.2 interface.

3) What is NVMe?

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a new storage protocol designed

to leverage the full performance potential of SSDs and the underlying

NAND Flash technology, by eliminating the performance bottleneck

imposed by the previous storage protocol - SATA - which had been

optimized for far slower hard disk drives.

Utilizing this new protocol, NVMe SSDs currently outperform SATA based

SSDs by a factor of 6-7 times, with signicant upward potential in the future.

4) What is PCIe?

PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a well-established

and versatile interface. Because of its prevalence (used for Graphic

Cards etc.) and high data throughput capability PCIe was adopted by

the storage industry to replace the much older and constrained SATA

interface for the next generation of SSDs.

Adoption of PCIe, combined with other factors, enable NVMe SSDs to

outperform SATA based SSDs by a factor of 6-7 times, with signicant

upward potential in the future thanks to the scalability of PCIe.

5) What is M.2?

M.2 is a form-factor describing the physical dimensions and connector

used for M.2 SSDs. It was primarily designed to incorporate the new PCIe

interface and NVMe protocol in SSDs, and to reduce the overall footprint

of storage media from the former HDD based 2.5 inch standard dimension.

6) Will a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD function in a PCIe x1 slot?

A Samsung NVMe SSD is not compatible with a PCIe x1 slot.

7) What is an “M-Key”? What is a “B-Key”?

“M” and “B” are different connector types for M.2 slots. A “B-Key” enables

SATA or PCIe NVMe SSDs using up to 2 PCIe lanes, and an “M-Key” enables

using up to 4 PCIe lanes.

Please note that Samsung NVMe SSDs use the “M-Key” (to leverage PCIe

x4 for maximum performance) and cannot be plugged into an M.2 slot

with a “B-Key”.
