  • Samsung PM981 series built for reliable operation

Samsung PM981 1TB NVMe SSD

The Samsung PM981 is a 1TB internal solid-state drive using the M.2 2280 form factor. It connects through a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface with NVMe protocol. The drive uses triple-level cell flash memory and runs firmware EXA7301Q. It is supplied as a standalone component without cables or manuals.

Suits builders adding high-speed storage

This drive fits systems with an M.2 2280 slot wired for PCI-Express 3.0 x4 NVMe operation. Buyers whose platforms only support PCI-Express 2.0 or fewer lanes should verify compatibility before purchase. Systems lacking an M.2 connector altogether cannot use this part.

PCI-Express 3.0 x4 NVMe interface

The single specification that determines fit is the PCI-Express 3.0 x4 NVMe interface. The motherboard or laptop must provide an M.2 2280 keyed slot electrically wired for four lanes of third-generation PCI-Express with NVMe support. Without that exact interface the drive will not function.

Questions about this item

How is the M.2 2280 PM981 SSD installed in a laptop and what step is often missed?

Insert the drive at an angle into the M.2 2280 slot, press it flat, and secure it with the retention screw; the step often missed is fastening that screw so the drive stays seated.

What maintenance or replacement will the 1TB TLC drive need later?

The drive has no moving parts and requires no scheduled maintenance; replacement is only needed if the NAND wears out after very heavy write cycles.

What limit appears first on the PCI-Express 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD under sustained heavy writes?

The controller will throttle write speeds once the NAND temperature rises to protect data integrity and endurance.
