PM981

I contacted the support. Dear Samsung Support Team, I am writing to you today not with a complaint, but with a testimonial about the incredible durability of your V-NAND technology. I have been using a Samsung PM981 256GB (MZVLB256HAHQ) in a high-load environment hosting an Arma 3 server. According

After swapping the PM991 ssd with a PM981 I decided to try hackintoshing and it works pretty well. Did the EFI mostly myself but pulled a few things from valonxy’s T480 EFI. The touch screen etc. all work, the only thing that doesn’t is thunderbolt 3 but since I am probably not going to use it I am

I’ve owned the r10 in 2024 and upgraded to sell.Parts consisted of Thermaltake toughfan pro replacing the AIO exhaust fan with no idle static pressure and poor performance at high rpm, I’d use arctic p12 1800rpm now. Better gpu gtx 1080 but I’d get used RTX 2070 or better now. SSD used a 1tb Samsung

UPDATE: I was running all the tests on battery. HWinfo was showing a current pcie with x4 and speed 5 GT/s. ChatGPT confirmed that it was being downgraded to PCIe gen2 instead of gen3. When I plugged it to AC and retested with CDM it doubled the numbers and was better than the PM981. But still tells

The SSDs in my 5 year old pc are still 99% health (Samsung PM981 and PNY CS3030), it's not really a thing to worry about for normal use unless you are writing hundreds of GB everyday or mining crypto. Of course, failures can still happen with any brand, its still best to have multiple backups of imp

That's fair. My question, asking if it was a Gen4 drive, was based on the fact I only use Gen3 SSDs in these older devices. I have Hynix BC501 for WWAN slots, and normally use Hynix PC711 for full size slots, but have a few OEM Samsung (I think PM981) too. I haven't ran in to any heat problems with

I wanted a rig to last me years from owning an am4 rig with 5800x. Generally I prefer picking and choosing used components as it’s massively cheaper like Samsung pm981 it’s. High endurance fast SSD vs new crucial and kioxia which aren’t the best quality and the Samsung 990 series which run too hot.

Yes. but PCI-e 4 is fully backwards compatible. If anything, fast PCI-e 4.0 SSDs like the aforementioned Samsung 990Pro saturate the bus in every scenario. PCI-e 3.0 x4 has a maximum realistic throughput of somewhere between 3500-3700 Gb/s. which is easily surpassed by modern SSDs. Samsung 990 Pro r

I just got one this week for a steal in France, in mint condition, barely used. Battery had 6, yes, 6 cycles on it! The keyboard has no wear on the keys whatsoever, brand new, with 6 cycles, previous owner had barely time for a running-in of the battery! 32GB, PCIe card reader, 512GB SSD, IR face re

I’m not going through all those. Buy a proper brand one that won’t fail like a Samsung or crucial and consider getting a used one like a Samsung PM981.
