Samsung - 960 EVO 500GB Internal PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) Solid State Drive for Laptops
- Key Specs
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Interface(s): Other (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

- Bare Drive: true (Drive is sold without any pre-installed software.)
- Features
- Security Features: None
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Algorithm: 256-bit AES (The algorithm standard used to encrypt data on a device.)
- Usage: Performance computing
- Memory
- Cache Buffer Size: 1500 megabytes (The data capacity of the cache buffer (or disk buffer) that acts as temporary memory for the drive. The cache holds the most recently and frequently used data to save the drive the extra step of pulling it from permanent storage every time it's needed, which helps increase the drive's overall speed.)
- NAND Flash Memory Type: V-NAND (Single Level Cell (SLC) stores 1 bit of data per memory cell; Multi Level Cell (MLC) stores 2 bits per cell, Triple Level Cell (TLC) 3 bits, and Quad Level Cell (QLC) 4 bits. Vertical NAND (V-NAND) or 3D NAND stores more data by layering cells vertically. Similarly, there are 3D MLC, 3D TLC and 3D QLC stacked cells.)
