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 6,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds to 5,600 MB/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.

Do more with less. The 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, PM9C1a cuts down on power use by close to 10% compared to the previous generation*, for even greater efficiency.

Data needs to be protected. 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.
