1) GB: 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. A certain portion of capacity may be used for system file and maintenance use, thus the actual available capacity may
differ from the labeled total capacity.
2) Performance measurements are based on FIO 2.7 in Linux Gen4: CentOS7(Kernel 5.3.1) with 4KB (4,096 bytes) of data transfer size in Queue Depth=32
by 4 workers. Measurements were performed on a full Logical Block Address (LBA) span of the drive in sustained state. The actual performance may varydepending on use conditions and environment.
3) Active Read power is measured on 4 KB random read. Active Write power is measured on 4 KB random write.
4) All documented endurance test results are obtained in compliance with JESD218 Standards. Please visit www.jedec.org for detailed information on
JESD218 Standards
5) TBW means Total Bytes Written.
6) Please refer to the detailed warranty statement here at http://samsung.com/samsungssd.
7) Warranty provides coverage for the stated time period or the TBW, whichever comes first.
