I have an "ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501VW-DS71T" laptop
I opened the laptop and the SSD is practically this Samsung at Amazon
It because the P/N is the same as "MZVPV512HDGL-00000". Therefore about its specs is indicated as follows:
- M.2 Interface: PCIe 3.0 x4 lanes, up to 32Gb/s
- 256MB LPDDR2 DRAM Buffer Memory
- 3 Year Warranty, Supports Standard NVMe driver, APM and L1.2 Power Saving Mode, End-to-End Data Protection, Support TRIM Command, RoHS Compliant, Halogen-Free Compliance
- Sequential Read: 2150MB/s, Sequential Write: 1500 MB/s, Random Read (QD=4): 300K IOPS, Random Write (QD=4): 100K IOPS
- Works with most motherboards and notebooks with a compatible M.2 PCIe interface slot. Includes Z97/X99/Z120 motherboards. Not compatible with the MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or Mac Pro (see description for details)
Sadly Amazon does not sell anymore that item.
About Samsung I found these two:
- Samsung MZ-V7S500B/AM 500GB 970 EVO Plus M.2 (2280)
- Samsung 960 PRO NVMe M.2 512GB SSD (MZ-V6P512BW)
Even when the numbers are clearly different I am assuming that perhaps EVO Plus vs PRO would have an important difference to be considered. Thus if the budget is not a serious problem
Question
- What of them is suggested and Why?
I did do a research on YouTube about NAND and exists the SLC, MLC, TLC and QLC types. But I did do realize that these 2 SSD of Samsung has the "V-NAND" term. Thus either vertical or 3d. Just in case for this old laptop
Extra question
- Is safe for the Mobo install any of these SSD being V-NAND?
If you have a best suggestion than them, being Samsung and keeping the Gen3 x4 consideration, pls share the model.
Thank You
