PM981

You do not notice SSD speed differences in daily use. The Samsung 990Pro is the benchmark in PCIe4.0 SSDs - much faster on paper and in benchmarks than the OEM PM 981.

Samsung PM981 SSDs are lottery, some works, some not, but I used OP Core simplify on ThinkPad T580 with same specs and it works, so gave it a shot and then start troubleshooting, also there is always hackmate

Some might work but others like the PM981 are absolutely not supported and despite what a few people who hav

no i’ve checked and modified it but it is because of my unsupported samsung ssd (pm981 or something like that) and has same behavior both with and without nvmefix kext
