* Sequential performance measurements based on CrystalDiskMark 5.1.2, and Random performance measurements based
on Iometer 1.1.0. Performance may vary based on SSD’s firmware version, system hardware & configuration. Test system
configuration: Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.0GHz, DDR4 1,700MHz 16GB, OS – Windows10 Pro x64, ASROCK Z170 EXTREME 7
** Power consumption measured with IOmeter 1.1.0 with Intel i7-5820K @ 3.3GHz, DDR4 8GB, ASUS X99-M WS/SE, OS-
Windows10 Pro x64 and APST on
*** TBW means Terabytes Written
† 1GB=1,000,000,000 bytes by IDEMA. A certain portion of capacity may be used for system file and maintenance use, so the
actual capacity may differ from what is indicated on the product label.
††M.2 is a specification of form factor for ultra-thin PCs, The M.2 standard allows widths 12, 16, 22 and 30mm and lengths of
16, 26,30, 38, 42, 69, 80 and 110 mm, Commercially M.2 is popular with width 22mm and lengths 30, 42, 60 , 80 and 110mm.
Samsung provides the most popular form factor with 22mm X 80mm model (i.e., 2280) to consider user convenience
