¹The NVM Express design mark is registered to NVM Express, Inc.
²HMB (Host Memory Buffer) technology enables the SSD to use the DRAM of the host system for reading/write caching and buffering.
³Performance may vary depending on the SSD’s firmware version, system, and hardware configuration. Performance measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0. The write performances were measured with Intelligent TurboWrite technology activated.
⁴The sequential write performances after Intelligent TurboWrite region are: up to 250 MB/s(250GB), 500 MB/s(500GB) and 900 MB/s(1TB). Test system configuration: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz,DDR4 2133MHz 8GBx2 OS-Windows 10 Pro 64bit Asrock Z-170 Extreme7+
⁵Results are based on a comparison with Samsung SATA SSDs.
TBW: Terabytes wrote. For 980: 150 TBW for 250GB model, 300 TBW for 500GB model, 600 TBW for 1TB model.
