Product overview
PM981A is a Samsung OEM NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD (client/OEM line used in pre-built PCs and laptops); price below is for the 1TB variant (MZVLB1T0HBLR-000H1). The controller and firmware matter more than the NAND on a boot or database volume. Send us the array or RAID controller it is going behind and we will confirm it is on the supported list.
We return an itemised quote within 48 business hours, and we say plainly when a part is constrained rather than quoting a date we cannot hold.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against PM981A, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
Endurance matched to the workload
We ask what the drive is being written to before quoting, because a read-intensive part on a write-heavy volume is a warranty claim waiting to happen.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is PM981A genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. It ships new in Samsung packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
- Will PM981A work in my server?
- Send the server or array model and the controller behind it. We check the carrier, the firmware family and whether the drive is on the platform's supported list — mechanical fit is the easy part.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.

Training throughput is limited by how fast data reaches the accelerators, which is why AI nodes are specified with NVMe in front of the GPUs.
