About This Product
The Samsung SM961 is a 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD, offering significantly faster sequential read/write speeds than SATA SSDs. It is suitable for users seeking high-performance storage for demanding applications, such as video editing or large file transfers. While it provides excellent performance, newer PCIe Gen4 drives offer even greater speeds, though often at a higher price point.
