Our verdict

Built for gaming desktops and laptops with a free slot, this drive loads big files quickly. The listing shows no heatsink, so console or tight-airflow use needs cooling planned separately.

Overview

Samsung builds this drive as a bare stick that plugs into an NVMe slot and talks over four PCIe lanes. A slim body of about a tenth of an inch tall suits laptops as well as desktops.

Very high speeds suit game loading, large file copies and heavy workstation tasks. Sustained use creates heat, and the listing includes no heatsink, so cooling is the buyer's job.

Who it's for

A builder or upgrader who wants very high sequential speeds in a standard stick format. Console owners and cramped-case builders should plan a heatsink. Older slots will not reach the headline numbers.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Very high read speed
  • Slim body suits laptops
  • Supports desktop, laptop and console
  • Five year warranty
Cons
  • No heatsink listed
  • Speeds need a fast PCIe slot
  • Several listing fields look mismatched
  • Cache size entry unclear

Performance notes

Headline speeds apply to long sequential transfers on a matching fast slot, and an older slot caps the result. The controller throttles when it overheats, which is why airflow or a heatsink matters in sustained writes. Everyday loading depends more on random access than on the sequential figures.
