Samsung specifies 3400 MB/s read and 1500 MB/s write performance and uses 64 Layer 3DNAND TLC from Samsung as memory chips. At the time of announcement in 2018 it was one of the fastest consumer SSDs on the market. The power consumption of the SSD is rated at 9 W (max.), 5.4W (usage), 0.03W (idle), and 0.005W (sleep).
