Samsung MZ-VAP2T0B/AM

Overview

The Samsung MZ-VAP2T0B/AM is a 2TB M.2 2280 internal solid state drive designed to deliver exceptional speed and reliability for demanding computing tasks. Utilizing a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface and NVMe 2.0 protocol, it achieves sequential read speeds up to 14,700 MB/s and write speeds up to 13,400 MB/s. This makes it well suited for creative professionals, engineers, and gamers who need fast data access and transfer for large files and complex workloads.

Key features

• PCIe 5.0 x4 interface ensures compatibility with the latest NVMe 2.0 hosts for future-proof performance.
• Extremely high sequential read and write speeds reduce wait times when loading or saving large projects.
• Outstanding random read and write IOPS support rapid access to small files, benefiting AI inference, 8K video editing, and open-world gaming.
• 2 GB LPDDR4x DRAM cache keeps frequently accessed data readily available, improving responsiveness during intensive tasks.
• Hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption with TCG Opal 2.0 and Microsoft eDrive support protects sensitive data without slowing down transfers.
• Durability rated at 1200 TBW and a mean time between failures of 1.5 million hours ensures long-term reliability in workstations and gaming rigs.
• 5 nm process controller enhances power efficiency, helping to manage heat and energy consumption.
• Flexible cooling options as the drive ships without a heatsink, allowing use of motherboard cooling or custom solutions.

Connectivity and compatibility

This SSD connects via a PCIe 5.0 x4 slot and supports the NVMe 2.0 protocol, ensuring compatibility with modern motherboards that support these standards. Its M.2 2280 form factor fits most desktop and workstation motherboards designed for high-performance storage. The absence of a heatsink allows you to choose between using your motherboard’s integrated cooling or installing a dedicated heatsink tailored to your system’s airflow and thermal needs.

Performance and reliability

With sequential speeds reaching nearly 15 GB/s and random IOPS in the millions, this drive handles intensive workloads with ease. Whether you are editing ultra-high-definition video, running complex simulations, or loading expansive game worlds, the drive maintains responsiveness and speed. Its endurance rating and long mean time between failures provide peace of mind for users who require consistent uptime and durability over extended periods.

Ideal uses and environments

This SSD is a strong choice for professionals working with large multimedia files, engineers running data-heavy applications, and gamers who demand fast load times and smooth performance. It fits well in high-end desktops, workstations, and gaming rigs where speed and reliability are critical. The flexible cooling options make it adaptable to custom builds and systems with specific thermal management requirements.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in the same condition received, with tags, manuals, accessories, and original, unaltered packaging. Any item kept will be deducted from the refund. Start a return by sending us an email. Items sent back without approval may be refused or returned to the sender.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
