Samsung 960 PRO 512GB M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 3,500 MB/s Internal SSD

The Samsung MZ-V6P512BW is a 512GB internal solid state drive that connects through a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and follows the NVMe 1.2 protocol, giving modern desktop and workstation systems a direct path to faster data transfers than SATA-based storage. By using Samsung’s 48-layer V-NAND technology, the drive reaches sequential read speeds up to 3,500 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 2,100 MB/s, which shortens boot times, accelerates application launches, and keeps large file workflows fluid.

Reliability sits alongside speed. The drive is rated for up to 400 terabytes written and carries a five-year limited warranty, so creators who work with 4K video, engineers who handle large CAD assemblies, and gamers who routinely install expansive titles can push the drive without worrying about premature wear. A mean time between failures of 1.5 million hours and shock resistance to 1500G at 0.5 ms underscore its durability in everyday towers as well as compact, transportable builds.

Data security is handled at the hardware level through AES 256-bit encryption, protecting sensitive projects or client files without dragging down performance. Samsung Magician software rounds out the package by giving users an easy way to monitor health, update firmware, and benchmark performance from within the operating system.

Whether you are assembling a development rig that compiles code all day, a content creation station that scrubs through high-resolution footage, or a gaming PC that values quick level loads, the Samsung 960 PRO in this 512GB capacity slips into a single M.2 slot and delivers speed, endurance, and insight in one tidy solution.
