SAMSUNG PM953 960GB NVMe M.2 22110 ENTERPRISE SSDDatacenter-class solid state drive, pulled from service and tested.
PLEASE READ FIRST - THIS IS A 110 mm DRIVEThis is an M.2 22110 card: 22 mm wide by 110 mm long. It is NOT the common 2280 length. It will only fit a slot with a mounting standoff at the 110 mm position, which in practice means servers, workstation boards and a few enterprise carrier cards. Most consumer motherboards and virtually all laptops cannot take it. Please confirm your slot supports 22110 before buying.
