MZVLB256HAHQ-00000 Samsung PM981 256GB PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 2280 Consumer SSD

High-Performance M.2 2280 NVMe Boot and Cache SSD featuring PCIe Gen3 x4 efficiency with the MZVLB256HAHQ-00000

The MZVLB256HAHQ-00000 is a Samsung PM981 NVMe SSD module designed for compact server, appliance, and workstation platforms that require predictable boot behavior and fast local caching over PCIe 3.0 x4. In dense edge nodes or 1U systems where expansion is limited, the M.2 2280 M-Key form factor of MZVLB256HAHQ-00000 preserves PCIe lanes for accelerators and NICs while still delivering low-latency storage response.

Built on TLC NAND with an onboard 512MB DRAM cache, MZVLB256HAHQ-00000 sustains strong random 4K performance for metadata-heavy OS activity, VDI cache tiers, and web-tier content staging. The PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe architecture supports up to 3000MB/s sequential read and 1300MB/s write to reduce provisioning times and accelerate image deployments. For security-controlled environments, MZVLB256HAHQ-00000 integrates self-encrypting drive capability with AES-256 and TCG Opal 2.0 to align with common endpoint and appliance hardening requirements.

Why Choose the MZVLB256HAHQ-00000?

MZVLB256HAHQ-00000 delivers an efficient density-to-performance profile for boot and read-optimized cache roles, enabling consistent service behavior without consuming 2.5-inch bays or adding cabling complexity. With 1.5M hours MTBF and low idle draw, MZVLB256HAHQ-00000 supports scalable rollouts across remote sites and clustered appliances where reliability, operational simplicity, and repeatable provisioning are critical.

Samsung designs the PM981 family with a focus on controller/firmware stability, enterprise-aligned power states, and predictable NAND management under mixed workloads. MZVLB256HAHQ-00000 reflects this engineering approach by combining platform-friendly thermals and standardized security features that integrate cleanly into modern data centre and edge lifecycle processes.
