Samsung PM9C1a Gen4 NVMe Client SSD
Take PC Efficiency to New Heights
With new leaps in speed, efficiency, and security, Samsung's PM9C1a is an SSD that elevates performance for laptops and PCs. Supercharged with Samsung’s advanced process equipped controller and seventh generation V-NAND, it dramatically improves computing experiences for gaming and maximizing productivity. With diverse options made to meet various markets, plus enhanced security built to today's global standards, Samsung's PM9C1a delivers well-rounded performance at a value that’s hard to beat.
A New Level of PC SSD Performance
A powerful combination. Samsung’s cutting-edge process technology, the seventh generation V-NAND combines with Host Memory Buffer to have a spectacular effect that boosts sequential read speeds to 6,000MB/s and sequential write speeds to 5,600MB/s in PM9C1a. That means 1.6 times faster sequential read speeds and 1.8 times faster sequential write speeds than the previous generation, helping desktops and laptops run smoother and games load faster.
70% More Efficient Get More from Every Watt
Do more with less. The Samsung PM9C1a uses a new controller specially developed in-house with Samsung's cutting edge 5nm process to boost efficiency at every turn. That's how it offers up to 70% more power efficiency per watt than its predecessor, which means it can handle the same amount of tasks using less power than the previous generation, so it can go further in games and dig deeper on various task. And when a laptop goes into power saving mode, Samsung's PM9C1a cuts down on power use by close to 10% compared to the previous generation, for even greater efficiency.
Strengthened Security that Meets Global Standards
Data needs to be protected. Samsung's PM9C1a is built with powerful safety features, and it supports the Device Identifier Composition Engine (DICE) security standard created by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). DICE securely generates cryptographic security keys inside the SSD, It provides device authentication to protect against supply chain attacks and attestation to prevent firmware tampering.
Three Form Factors More Choices for More PCs
One size doesn’t always fit all. That’s why Samsung's PM9C1a series comes in the M.2 form factor with three sizes (2230, 2242 and 2280), so it can be adapted to diverse product lines. With options for 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage capacities, Samsung's PM9C1a brings improved speed, better efficiency, and larger capacity to tablets, laptops, and work-busting Ultrabooks.
