Samsung PM9C1 MZVL81T0HELB-00BTW

PM9C1 MZVL81T0HELB-00BTW

The Samsung PM9C1 MZVL81T0HELB-00BTW is a 1-terabyte PCIe 4 x4 NVMe SSD. It appears the 22 by 80 drive was quietly launched as far back as mid 2020.

Its performance in AS SSD (3.98 GB/s for sequential reads and 2.16 GB/s for writes) as well as other popular benchmark is serviceable but not really impressive, if our December 2024 testing is any indication.
