Positioning: budget tier for storage—fast Gen3 TLC with DRAM for builds where Gen4/Gen5 isn’t required. It exists to offer a reliable, affordable boot or gaming drive with proven compatibility. The 1TB model employs Samsung TLC V‑NAND (“3‑bit MLC”), includes a DRAM cache, and is rated for 600 TBW with up to 3,500/3,300 MB/s sequential speeds, per Samsung’s data sheet.
