Introduction to Samsung NVMe SSDs
Overview
When it comes to a PC’s system “responsiveness”, storage is one of the most crucial hardware components. The faster the drive, the faster the
system boots, the faster apps launch, and the faster files save. The introduction of SSDs a number of years ago was a major step forward from
traditional spinning HDDs, but SSDs recently hit a performance wall in the existing SATA III protocol, and they simply cannot run any faster.
NVMe is built for SSDs

FAQs
Compatibility
Installation
1) Do Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs work with any M.2 slot?
There are different types of M.2 slots. A “B-Key” enables SATA or PCIe
NVMe SSDs using up to 2 PCIe lanes, while an “M-Key” enables NVMe
SSDs with the use of up to 4 PCIe lanes.
Performance of PCIe NVMe M.2 SSDs leveraging PCIe x4 lanes is roughly
twice as high as with PCIe x2 lanes, so the vast majority of mainboards
today support ”M-Key” slots with 4 lanes. This is the solution supported by
Samsung NVMe SSDs, and works in the majority of M.2 slots.
Please check the type of M.2 (M or B Key) slots available on your mainboard by reading the user manual or contacting your system vendor.
1) How should a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD be installed on a PC?
Installation of Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs is essentially plug-and-play.
Simply insert the NVMe SSD in an M.2 PCIe slot, tighten the SSD in place
with the screw and spacer provided by your mainboard manufacturer, and
boot up your system from an external source before proceeding with a
fresh install of your operating system. Windows has an in-box driver that
ensures your Samsung NVMe SSD is operational from the start, but we
recommend installing the Samsung NVMe Driver specifically designed for
Samsung NVMe SSDs, to ensure optimal performance and to maximize
compatibility with your system.
For more information, please refer to: www.samsungssd.com
2) Will Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs work on Z97 Mainboards?
Yes. Samsung NVMe SSDs will work on Haswell Refresh or newer chipsets
that follow the standard mainboard requirements defined by Intel (note
that some mainboards customized for certain PC makers might not offer
the required M.2 slot). Should you have any doubt, please contact your
mainboard or PC vendor for more information.
3) Do Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs work with AMD Ryzen?
Yes. Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs will work with standard Ryzen chipsets.
4) Are there any issues with running Windows 7 on a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD?
Samsung NVMe SSDs are compatible with Windows 7, but for optimal
performance and ease of use we recommend Win 8.1 or newer.
5) Do Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs work under Linux?
Samsung NVMe SSDs are compatible with Linux.
Please note, however, that Samsung NVMe SSDs are optimized for use
under Windows operating systems.
6) Which Generation PCIe does Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD use?
Samsung NVMe SSDs use PCIe Gen 3.0. For more information please refer
to Samsung NVMe SSD datasheets available at www.samsungssd.com
NVMe SSD - Brochure
2) Are Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs delivered with a screw?
Samsung NMVe M.2 SSDs are not delivered with a screw. This is because
mainboard manufacturers typically provide the specific screws and
spacers that fit the proprietary needs of each mainboard.
3) Can I move data from an HDD or SATA SSD to a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD?
Yes. It is possible to clone a SATA HDD or SATA SSD to an NVMe SSD.
Samsung, however, recommends performing a “clean install” of the OS
and later transferring the desired non-executable files.
Because the registry information needed for NVMe SSDs is different from
those of SATA HDDs or SSDs, a clean install helps to avoid unnecessary
compatibility and performance issues that may arise from simply cloning
a storage device.
4) Can I plug a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD in a traditional PCIe slot?
Yes. Many add-in-card adapters exist, but for optimal performance and
compatibility Samsung recommends using an original M.2 slot for your
Samsung NVMe SSD.
Operation
1) Can I use a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD at the same time as a SATA SSD or HDD?
Yes. There are no technical limitations in using an NVMe M.2 SSD concurrently with a SATA SSD or HDD. Please make sure your mainboard has a
sufficient number of interfaces to accommodate multiple storage devices.
2) Can Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs be RAIDed?
Yes. Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs can be grouped into a RAID formation.
Please ensure that your mainboard has a sufficient number of NVMe M.2
slots and that sufficient PCIe lanes are available for maximal performance.
3) Can the OS be installed on a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD?
Yes. Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs can be used as the primary storage device,
with the Operating System installed on the SSD.
4) Are Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs bootable when used in combination with an
add-in-card (AIC)?
Yes. An AIC is merely an adapter, and therefore does not change the
inherent bootability or connectivity of a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD. Please
note that depending on the quality of the AIC, the performance of your
Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD may, in rare cases, be below the performance
specifications published by Samsung.
Performance
1) What is the difference between a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD and a regularSSD?
NVMe SSDs leverage a new type of interface and protocol – Non-Volatile
Memory Express – to break through the bottleneck limitations of SATA
based systems. Concretely, this means that whereas SATA SSDs’ maximal
performance does not exceed 550MB/s, NVMe SSDs can achieve transfer
speeds of about 3,500MB/s when connected via PCIe Gen.3 x4 lanes.
2) Why does my Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD not achieve its performance specs
in benchmark tests?
Benchmark test results may differ depending upon the system
environment, host software and hardware configuration. Please see the
data sheet for more information on the test conditions used by Samsung.
3) Do Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs have RAPID Mode support?
Samsung NVMe SSDs do not support RAPID Mode.
4) Do I need a heat sink foroptimal performance of the Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD?
Samsung NVMe SSDs rarely require a heat sink, yet maintain optimal
performance thanks to Samsung’s advanced design and manufacturing
capabilities coupled with an integrated, heat dissipating thermal label.
In rare instances of extreme workloads (transfer of several hundreds of
GB), performance may be throttled through Samsung’s dynamic thermal
throttling algorithm to protect the SSDs integrity.
Please be aware, however, that an external heat source such as a highpowered graphics card, or CPU placed in close proximity to a Samsung
NVMe SSD, can adversely affect airflow around a Samsung NVMe SSD
which may lead to performance degradation. Therefore, please ensure
there is appropriate airflow around your Samsung NVMe SSD.
Specifications
1) What is the physical size of a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD? Will it fit my PC?
Samsung NVMe SSDs use the M.2 (2280) form factor. M.2 is an industry
standard, and M.2 SSDs typically measure 22mm in width. Various
standardized lengths range between 30mm and 110mm, with the 80mm
solution used by Samsung being the most common. This means that
Samsung NVMe SSDs are 22mm wide and 80mm long, and should
physically fit in the majority of M.2 slots on mainboards.
It is also important to note that Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs are “single
sided” meaning that all components are mounted on just one side of the
PCB, ensuring a relatively “flat” profile that fits in virtually all M.2 slots.
2) Do Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs have hardware encryption?
Samsung NVMe SSDs provide internal hardware encryption of all data
stored on the SSD, including the operating system. Data is decrypted
through a pre-boot authentication process. Because all user data is
encrypted, private information is protected against loss or theft.
Encryption is done by hardware, which provides a safer environment
without sacrificing performance.
The encryption methods provided by each Samsung NVMe SSD are:
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard, Class0 SED) TCG/OPAL, and eDrive
Please note that you cannot use more than one encryption method
simultaneously.
3) Do Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs support TCG Opal?
TCG Opal is supported by Samsung NVMe SSDs (960EVO / PRO and
newer). It is an authentication method that employs the protocol specified
by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) meaning that you will need to
install TCG software supplied by a TCG OPAL software development
company.
User authentication is done by pre-boot authentication provided by the
software.
For more detailed information and instructions, please contact a TCG
software company. In addition, TCG/opal can only be enabled / disabled
by using special security software.
Others
1) What is the difference between the 960PRO and 960EVO?
The EVO series is designed for demanding mainstream users, while the
PRO series is destined for users with very high workload requirements for
their SSD, and the need for high capacities.
2) What is an AIC?
AIC stands for Add-in-Card and it is essentially an adapter that allows
connection of a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD to a standard PCIe x16 slot,
instead of an M.2 interface.
3) What is NVMe?
NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a new storage protocol designed
to leverage the full performance potential of SSDs and the underlying
NAND Flash technology, by eliminating the performance bottleneck
imposed by the previous storage protocol - SATA - which had been
optimized for far slower hard disk drives.
Utilizing this new protocol, NVMe SSDs currently outperform SATA based
SSDs by a factor of 6-7 times, with significant upward potential in the future.
4) What is PCIe?
PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a well-established
and versatile interface. Because of its prevalence (used for Graphic
Cards etc.) and high data throughput capability PCIe was adopted by
the storage industry to replace the much older and constrained SATA
interface for the next generation of SSDs.
Adoption of PCIe, combined with other factors, enable NVMe SSDs to
outperform SATA based SSDs by a factor of 6-7 times, with significant
upward potential in the future thanks to the scalability of PCIe.
5) What is M.2?
M.2 is a form-factor describing the physical dimensions and connector
used for M.2 SSDs. It was primarily designed to incorporate the new PCIe
interface and NVMe protocol in SSDs, and to reduce the overall footprint
of storage media from the former HDD based 2.5 inch standard dimension.
6) Will a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD function in a PCIe x1 slot?
A Samsung NVMe SSD is not compatible with a PCIe x1 slot.
7) What is an “M-Key”? What is a “B-Key”?
“M” and “B” are different connector types for M.2 slots. A “B-Key” enables
SATA or PCIe NVMe SSDs using up to 2 PCIe lanes, and an “M-Key” enables
using up to 4 PCIe lanes.
Please note that Samsung NVMe SSDs use the “M-Key” (to leverage PCIe
x4 for maximum performance) and cannot be plugged into an M.2 slot
with a “B-Key”.
