Samsung PM9A1 MZVL21T0HCLR

► remove from comparison PM9A1 MZVL21T0HCLR

The Samsung OEM Client SSD PM9A1 1TB, M.2 (MZVL21T0HCLR, OEM variant of the 980 Pro) is a fast M.2 2280 SSD which supports PCIe 4.0 x4. It uses the Samsung Elpis (S4LV003) Controller with 8 channels and 512 MB LPDDR4. The memory modules are from Samsung (3D-NAND TLC 136 layers). The 1TB version is specified at 7000 MB/s and 5100 MB/s write (SLC cached). The power consumption is specified at 0.005 W (sleep) and 0.035W (idle).

Samsung SSD 980 Pro 1TB MZ-V8P1T0BW

► remove from comparison 980 Pro MZ-V8P1T0BW

The Samsung SSD 980 PRO 1TB (MZ-V8P1T0BW) is a fast high end PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 2280 SSD. It uses the Samsung Elpis controller with 8 channels, 1 GB LPDDR4 cache, SLC-Cache and 3D-NAND TLC memory modules from Samsung (V-NAND v6). Samsung specifies the drive with 7000 MB/s read and 5000 MB/s write (SLC cached, 2000 MB/s TLC). The power consumption is between 0.035W (idle) 8.9 W.

2x Samsung PM9A1 MZVL21T0HCLR (RAID 0)

► remove from comparison 2x PM9A1 MZVL21T0HCLR (RAID 0)

Two Samsung OEM Client SSD PM9A1 1TB in RAID 0 combination offer 2 TB of storage and a higher performance than a single drive but at the cost of a higher power consumption and a higher risk  of data loss (data lost if one drive has a failure). Each drive uses the Samsung Elpis (S4LV003) Controller with 8 channels and 512 MB LPDDR4. The memory modules are from Samsung (3D-NAND TLC 136 layers). The 1TB version is specified at 7000 MB/s and 5100 MB/s write (SLC cached). The power consumption is specified at 0.005 W (sleep) and 0.035W (idle) for each drive.
