One used Samsung SSD 980 1TB NVMe SSD, M.2 2280. Estimated endurance used: 1%. Power-on time: 521 hours. SMART overall assessment: Passed. Internal wear grade: A. Securely erased with the drive’s own NVMe Sanitize (Block Erase) command; completion recorded from the drive’s sanitize log. Includes only the items listed below. Requires a slot or enclosure that supports M.2 NVMe.

Internal Wear GradeAHow the Grade Is SetFrom estimated endurance used alone: A under 10%, B 10% to under 50%, C 50% to under 100%. Power-on hours are listed for you to judge but do not change the grade. Any SMART warning, recorded media error or failed test means the drive is not graded A–C.SMART Overall AssessmentPassedEstimated Endurance Used (Percentage Used)1%Power-on Hours521 hoursPower Cycles130Total Host Writes8.66 TB (approx.)Total Host Reads3.77 TB (approx.)Available Spare100% (drive's warning threshold: 10%)Critical Warning0 (no warning bits set)Media and Data Integrity Errors0Error Information Log Entries0Unsafe Shutdowns20

These figures are the drive’s own SMART readings, recorded on our test bench on the date above. Endurance used is the manufacturer’s estimate, not a guarantee of remaining life. The wear grade is our internal classification; it is not a cosmetic rating, a manufacturer certification or a warranty.

Testing

Each drive is tested on its own, in a direct M.2 slot on a dedicated test bench (not a USB adapter). These are the checks that were run and what they found:

• SMART health log: read before and after the erase. Overall assessment Passed.
• SMART self-test: not performed.
• Sustained read-load test: not performed.
• Read-back after erase: sample coverage, 512 MiB examined; no recognisable data found.
• Write/read test: not performed. Nothing is written to the drive after the erase, so the drive’s own “data erased” record stays intact.

Data SanitizationMethodNVMe Sanitize, Block Erase action, carried out by the drive’s own controller. This also covers spare and remapped areas that ordinary formatting or overwriting cannot reach.Completion StatusCompleted. The drive’s sanitize log records a successful Block Erase with the Global Data Erased flag set.Date2026-10-14NIST SP 800-88r2 MethodPurge (block erase). The method follows the guideline; this is not a certification.Certificate of SanitizationNot provided. The sanitization details are the ones in this listing.Post-wipe StateBlank: no partition table or filesystem.

Completion is reported by the drive’s own firmware, and we check that report for consistency. Our read-back after the erase found no recognisable data, but a read-back can expose a failed erase without independently proving a successful one. Our records keep the full serial and erase log for this drive.

No operating system or software licence is included. The drive is blank and must be initialised, partitioned and formatted before use.

CompatibilityCheck NVMe support and the correct drive size before buying.

M.2 is a shape, not an interface. M.2 SATA and M.2 NVMe are different and are not interchangeable. Check that your computer, motherboard, adapter or enclosure supports this drive’s interface, keying, length and clearance. PCIe is backward compatible: in an older slot the drive works at that slot’s lower speed.
