Product Description

World Class Performance in a Tiny Form Factor

The Samsung SM951 M.2 PCIe SSD (AHCI model) is the new performance leader in M.2 form factor SSD’s, providing up to 2150MB/s read and 1500MB/s write sequential data transfer rates.

Compatibility Notes

Many people ask, will this boot windows? The Samsung SM951 PCIe M.2 SSD is generally compatible in a wide variety of systems, so long as support is built into the system UEFI BIOS code. Please ask a question here on Amazon or direct an enquiry to the seller if you want to double check compatibility. Below is a general compatibility guide:

• Z97-based motherboards. Note, some boards have just 2x PCIe lanes on the M.2 socket. Check your system documentation as 4x PCIe lanes are required for maximum performance
• X99-based motherboards. Note, some boards require a 40-lane CPU to feed 4x PCIe lanes to the M.2 socket. Check your system documentation
• All 2006-2010 classic model Mac Pro computers (when combined with the Lycom DT-120)
• i7 model Intel NUC
• **NOTE** – the SM951 is not compatible in MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Mini, or the current ‘cylindrical’ model Mac Pro.

Key Features:

• Extreme performance – up to 2150/1500 sequential read/write data transfer rates
• PCIe 3.0 device, backwards compatible with PCIe 2.0
• Small M.2 form factor plugs straight into your PCIe-based M.2 socket with no additional cables required
