Access Enterprise Performance in PCs
With the Industry’s First PC-based PCIe Solid State Drive
Samsung Client/Mobile PCIe-based Solid State Drive (XP941)
Today’s PC enthusiasts and power users, when utilizing intensive programs such as video editing and
streaming, hunger for more performance storage solutions. The problem is that existing SATA-based
architectures create performance bottlenecks and are less responsive when running these type of
sequential workload applications.
The Samsung XP941 PCIe-based Solid-State Drive (SSD) incorporates enthusiast-grade performance with the dependability
and endurance that has traditionally been reserved for data center storage products. There is no need to compromise, as
Samsung’s XP941 PCIe-based SSD surpasses the speed limit than any SATA-based SSD. Available capacities are 128, 256
and 512GB.

Achieve Maximum Performance
No need to RAID several SSDs, as Samsung’s XP941 PCIe-based
SSD delivers over a gigabyte a second in sequential reads and
writes. This is not achievable by comparable SATA-based storage
solutions. Experience PCIe performance throughput without any
impact to your applications.
The new Samsung XP941 enables a sequential read performance
of 1,400MB/s (megabytes per second), which is the highest
performance available with a PCIe 2.0 interface. This allows the
drive to read 500GB of data or 100 HD movies as large as 5GB
(gigabytes) in only six minutes, or 10 HD movies at 5GB in 36
seconds. That is approximately seven times faster than a hard disk
drive (which would need over 40 minutes for the same task), and
more than 2.5 times faster than the fastest SATA SSD.
Samsung XP941 Series Technical Specicaitons
Form Factor M.2 2280
Capacity (GB) 128, 256, 512
Host Interface PCI-Express 2.0 x4
Superior Quality and Reliability
Samsung’s MLC-based NAND technology provides dependable
boot-ups and loading apps for intensive storage workloads such
as sequential workloads, video editing, streaming, logging, and
time stamping. Designed for ulta-thin notebook and power tablets,
the XP941 SSD allows power users to plug-in and play with any
M.2 PCIe slot.
The XP941 comes in the new M.2 form factor (80mm x 22mm),
weighing approximately six grams – about a ninth of the 54 grams
of a SATA-based 2.5 inch SSD. Also, the XP941’s volume is about
a seventh of that of a 2.5 inch SSD, freeing up more space for
the notebook’s battery and therein providing the opportunity for
increased mobility that will enhance user convenience.
