Samsung PM9E1 1 TB MZVLC1T0HFLU

PM9E1 1 TB MZVLC1T0HFLU

The MZVLC1T0HFLU is a 1-TB Samsung PM9E1-series NVMe SSD that makes use of four PCIe 5 lanes along with modern NAND chips, DRAM cache and controller, promising data transfer rates up to 14 GB/s (reads) with sequential writes not far behind at up to 12.5 GB/s.

Performance

With 5.7 GB/s sequential reads and 4.5 GB/s writes (AS SSD 2), the 22 by 80 drive falls short of the rates promised by quite a margin. The silver lining is, there is no throttling under prolonged loads.

Its 2-TB sibling performs noticeably better.
