Description
OEM Gen 4 Drive for High-Throughput Workloads
The Samsung PM9A1 512GB is an OEM client SSD built on the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface in the M.2 2280 form factor. It reaches 6900 MB/s sequential read and 5000 MB/s sequential write. The drive uses Samsung’s Elpis controller with 512 MB of LPDDR4 cache and 136-layer 3D TLC NAND.
Random performance hits 800,000 IOPS read and 800,000 IOPS write at 4 KB queue depth. Endurance is rated at 300 TBW, and mean time between failures sits at 1.5 million hours. The drive supports NVMe 1.3, self-encrypting drive operation and 256-bit AES encryption for data at rest.
Power draw measures 5 mW in sleep and 35 mW idle, which suits battery-powered notebooks. The single-sided 22 × 80 mm board fits tight M.2 slots in ultrabooks and small-form-factor desktops. Operating temperature spans 0 °C to 70 °C. This pullout unit carries the original firmware and requires no driver on Windows, Linux or macOS.
Key Features
PCIe 4.0 x4 Interface
The Gen 4 link doubles the theoretical bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 and feeds the Elpis controller without a bottleneck.Sequential Performance Envelope
- 6900 MB/s sequential read for large file copies and application launches.
- 5000 MB/s sequential write sustained through the SLC cache.
- 800,000 IOPS random read at 4 KB queue depth.
136-Layer TLC NAND
Samsung 3D TLC stacks 136 layers to raise density without increasing die footprint.300 TBW Endurance
The 512 GB model carries a 300 TBW write rating for sustained workstation use.Hardware Encryption
- 256-bit AES encryption supports self-encrypting drive mode.
- TCG Opal compatibility allows pre-boot authentication on managed fleets.
Low-Power States
Sleep draw of 5 mW and idle draw of 35 mW extend battery runtime in portable systems.
