    *The Samsung PM981 and the 970 EVO are essentially siblings built on the same architecture. Both drives utilize the same Samsung Phoenix controller and TLC flash memory. 

    Formatted as an additional storage drive.

    Windows is NOT installed.

    For maximum read/write speeds, the SSD should be installed directly into the motherboard’s NVMe slot.

    NVMe SSDs may not reach their full read and write speeds when used in an external enclosure due to speed transfer limitations from the enclosure, data cable and USB port.
