The P9 Express utilizes Samsung’s proprietary “Dynamic Thermal Guard” technology, also used in Samsung SSDs, which helps maintain optimal temperature by suppressing card heat generation. This ensures stable performance even during high-load gaming scenarios.
Sequential read speeds reach a maximum of 800MB/s in SD Express mode and up to 90MB/s in microSD UHS-I mode.
Another notable feature is its relatively long warranty period of three years.
