Samsung SSD NVMe MZVPV256HDGL-000L7 SM951 256GB M.2 PCIe 3.0 OPAL 2.0

256GB=256 BILLION bytes of memory

M.2=the gumstick-sized form factor

PCIe 3.0=Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard released in 2010 that is theoretically capable of 4 GB/s and is backwards compatible with PCIe 2.0; actual read and write speeds will be limited by the drive itself, not the bus

NVMe=Non-Volatile Memory Express, a software interface designed for SSD and PCIe; it is superior to AHCI, which was designed for hard drives

OPAL 2.0=the enhanced security standard for managing self-encrypting drives

SSD=Solid State Drive, the recent revolution in memory technology that has no moving parts and over eleven times the speed of a typical hard drive

This dive was manufactured by Samsung for Lenovo and was removed from a P50 laptop to upgrade its storage capacity.
