Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 1TB Internal SSD

The Samsung MZ-V6E1T0BW is a 1 TB NVMe solid state drive that slots into an M.2 connector and brings desktop-class performance to any compatible laptop or PC. It uses Samsung’s Polaris controller and the NVMe protocol to move data quickly, reaching up to 3 200 MB/s for sequential reads and up to 1 900 MB/s for sequential writes. That jump in speed over a traditional SATA SSD makes system boot-ups, game level loads, and large file transfers feel almost instantaneous.

Built-in TurboWrite technology maintains high throughput during sustained transfers, while Dynamic Thermal Guard keeps temperatures in check so the drive can run at full speed without overheating. The hardware supports AES 256-bit encryption, ensuring sensitive projects, documents, and personal media remain protected even if the computer is lost or stolen.

Endurance is another strength. With a rating of up to 400 TBW and a mean time between failures of 1.5 million hours, the 960 EVO is ready for daily use by gamers who install massive libraries, content creators who work with 4K footage, and professionals who depend on fast scratch space for large datasets. The compact M.2 form factor measures roughly 3.15 inches long and weighs just 0.02 pounds, leaving plenty of room in small form factor builds or thin laptops.

Samsung includes its Magician software, a utility that lets you update firmware, monitor drive health, and apply performance optimizations with only a few clicks. Whether you are refreshing an older system or building a new high-end rig, this drive offers a simple path to noticeably faster load times and smoother multitasking.
