Samsung PM9C1A SSD is integrated with a market-leading 5-nanometer controller and the company’s seventh-generation V-NAND technology. It meets the growing demand for robust security measures as it supports DICE (Device Identifier Composition Engine) security standard created by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG), a global organization that develops open standards for computing security.

Using a PCIe 4.0 interface, the Samsung PM9C1a is up to 1.6x faster sequential read and 1.8x faster sequential write speeds than its predecessor (PM9B1). The test values are as higher as 6,000 megabytes per second (MB/s) and 5,600MB/s, respectively.

In terms of energy efficiency, the PM9C1a is also up to 70 percent more power-per-watt than its predecessor which indicates that the new SSD can handle the same tasks using less power. The latest SSD will consume about 10% less power when the laptop enters standby mode.

Moreover, the random read and write speeds can support up to 900K input/output operations per second (IOPS) and 1000K IOPS. Samsung’s PM9C1a SSD will feature M.2 form factors (22mm x 30mm, 22mm x 42mm, 22mm x 80mm) in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage capacities.

According to Yong Ho Song, Executive Vice President of Memory Solution Product & Development at Samsung Electronics:

“Our new PM9C1a SSD will deliver a robust combination of superior performance, greater power efficiency, and increased security, which are the qualities that matter most to PC users. We are committed to creating storage that satisfies the diverse and changing market requirements, as we continue to advance innovation in the PC SSD space.”
