The Samsung MZVLW512 is an NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSD and belongs to the Samsung 970 EVO series. With a capacity of 512 GB, this SSD offers exceptional performance and reliability suitable for a wide range of applications. Here is a comprehensive description of the Samsung MZVLW512, including technical details, features and application areas:
Technical details
1. Capacity:
- Storage capacity: 512 GB
- This capacity is ideal for modern applications, games and operating systems that require a large amount of storage space. It provides ample space for system files, applications and user data.
2. Interface:
- NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4: The SSD uses the NVMe protocol via a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. This enables a significantly higher data transfer rate and lower latency compared to SATA-based SSDs. The NVMe interface is specially optimized for the use of flash memory and offers high bandwidth and low latency.
3. Form factor:
- M.2 2280: The M.2 2280 form factor is the most common form factor for NVMe SSDs and measures 22 x 80 mm. This form factor is widely used and fits in most modern desktop and laptop systems that support M.2 slots.
4. Controller:
- Samsung Phoenix Controller: The SSD uses the Samsung Phoenix Controller, which is known for its high performance and efficiency. This controller optimizes data processing and management and contributes to the high speed and reliability of the SSD.
5. Memory chip type:
- Samsung V-NAND Flash (TLC): The SSD uses Samsung V-NAND (Triple-Level Cell) flash memory, which stores three bits per cell. V-NAND is a 3D NAND technology that stacks the memory cells vertically to improve performance and capacity. TLC offers a good balance between capacity, cost and performance.
6. Read and write speed:
- Maximum sequential read speed: Up to 3,500 MB/s
- Maximum sequential write speed: Up to 2,500 MB/s
- These speeds enable extremely fast data transfers and significantly improve overall system performance by dramatically reducing boot times and application loading times.
7. Access times:
- Random Read/Write: The SSD offers very high IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) for random read and write operations, which further improves response times when processing data and applications.
8. TBW (Terabytes Written):
- Lifespan: The TBW value indicates how many terabytes of data can be written to the SSD before the memory cells wear out significantly. For the Samsung MZVLW512, the TBW value is typically around 300 TBW, which represents high durability and reliability for the SSD.
9. Temperature range:
- Operating and storage temperature: The SSD can operate in an operating range of approximately 0°C to 70°C and has a storage temperature of -40°C to 85°C. These temperatures ensure reliability and stability under various operating conditions.
Features
1. Performance:
- High speeds: With a maximum sequential read and write speed of up to 3,500 MB/s and 2,500 MB/s, the SSD offers outstanding performance for demanding applications and games. The high speed enables fast data transfers, shortened boot times and faster loading times.
2. Energy efficiency:
- Low power consumption: The SSD is energy efficient and helps extend battery life in laptops. The low power consumption also reduces energy requirements in desktop systems.
3. Reliability:
- Error Correction and Protection: The SSD uses advanced error correction mechanisms, including ECC (Error-Correcting Code), to ensure data integrity and prevent data loss. Samsung also integrates technologies to monitor SSD health and ensure lifetime reliability.
4. Thermal management:
- Thermal protection technologies: The SSD is equipped with technologies that prevent overheating and keep performance stable under load. These protection mechanisms help prevent performance degradation due to overheating.
5. Samsung Magician Software:
- Management and Optimization: Samsung Magician software allows users to monitor the SSD, perform firmware updates, and optimize performance. It also provides data migration and SSD protection features.
6. TRIM support:
- Performance optimization: The SSD supports the TRIM command, which allows the operating system to delete unused data blocks on the SSD to maintain performance over time.
Scope
1. Desktop-Computer:
- Primary drive: The SSD can be used as the primary drive for the operating system and applications. Its high performance improves system speed, shortens boot times and accelerates application execution.
2. Laptops and notebooks:
- Upgrade Solution: Ideal for laptops that require a performance boost and improved battery life, the SSD enables fast data transfers and improves overall system performance.
3. Gaming-PCs:
- High-performance applications: Due to its high speeds, the SSD is perfect for gaming PCs. It reduces loading times for games and improves overall performance when processing large amounts of data.
4. External storage solutions:
- Portable storage solutions: By installing it in an external enclosure, the SSD can be used as a powerful external drive that offers fast data transfers.
5. Professional applications:
- Data storage for creative professionals: The SSD's high speed and reliability make it ideal for professional applications such as video editing, 3D modeling, and big data analysis.
