Innovations exceeding expectations
Overview
Accelerating PC experiences
Samsung started the NVMe era in 2015 with the launch of the 950 PRO and continues to accelerate the
innovation to address the evolving PC environment across laptops and desktops. These hardware options
have fully matured for NVMe adoption with chipset, operating system, as well as motherboard support for
PCI Express® (PCIe) Gen 3x4 lanes in an M.2 slot. Now Samsung is expanding the NVMe SSD market with the
introduction of the 3rd-generation V-NAND and a two tier lineup.
Both the 960 PRO and 960 EVO use the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) Gen.3 x4 lane interface.
As a result, NVMe interface SSD can deliver fast read and write speeds without bottlenecks, up to 32 Gbps.
Packed with more technology and innovation than ever, the 960 PRO and 960 EVO are designed for users
who seek smaller and faster storage solutions. These SSDs deliver higher bandwidth and lower latency for
processing massive amounts of data, for everything from gaming and graphics, to 4K video rendering, data
analytics and more, on ultra-thin notebooks and PCs.

helps prevent overheating
• 3rd generation V-NAND and
PoP (package-on-package)
technology enables spacious
storage up to 2 TB in M.2 (2280)
form factor ideal for ultra-thin
notebooks and PCs.
• 9
60 PRO achieves a 40%
performance gain over 950
PRO.*
• I ntelligent TurboWrite
accelerates sequential write
speeds for 960 EVO
• Heat-spreading label
dissipates heat quickly to
sustain optimal performance
• F
ive-year warranty or up to
1.2 PBW (Petabytes Written) is
provided for 960 PRO
T h e n e w I n t e l l i g e n t Tu r b oW r i t e
technology makes its debut in the 960
EVO and accelerates the sequential
write speed by creating a SLC write
buffer in the SSD. This technology
intelligently measures user’s workloads,
and in case the workload exceeds
the buffer size, the buffer is adjusted
accordingly up to 42 GB.
2 TB
Thermal control
Capacity
Enhanced software
The 960 PRO and 960 EVO provide a more
reliable thermal dissipation solution with
an improved Dynamic Thermal Guard
(DTG) and a new heat spreader – a thin,
copper film-layered label. This feature
automatically drops the temperature
of the SSD when it reaches a certain
threshold, protecting the data and the
drive.
The new 48-layer Samsung V-NAND
and the four NAND package landing
design offer optimal layout for the single
M.2(2280) form factor, achieving the
world’s first 2TB NVMe M.2(2280) SSD in
the 960 PRO. It also includes a PoP design
that integrates the DRAM and Polaris
controller into a single package, allowing
more space for NAND.
Samsung's newly upgraded Magician
software provides ease of monitoring,
managing and maintaining performance
and reliability through an intuitive UI/
UX. In addition, the Magician software
introduces the new Secure File Erase and
Magic Vault for data protection.
Built to last
The Samsung 960 PRO and 960 EVO are designed to thrive under heavy workloads. Built on our 3rd-generation
V-NAND technology, the 960 PRO offers a 5-year warranty or up to 1.2 PBW (Petabytes Written)* for unmatched
endurance. The 960 EVO guarantees a 3-year warranty or up to 400 TBW*.
* Warranty or TBW will be guaranteed, whichever comes faster.
*Comparison of sequential read speeds for 512 GB
models
** 1 Petabyte is equal to 1,000 Terabytes.

Samsung’s exclusive 5-core Polaris
controller is optimized for NVMebased SSDs for more efficient data
processing performance. While one core
is dedicated to process from the host
system and the controller resulting in
faster data processing, the other four
cores are allocated to the NAND.
