SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, V-NAND Technology, Storage and Memory Expansion for Gaming, Graphics w/ Heat Control, Max Speed, MZ-V7S1T0B/AM

I read so many reviews and benchmarks on this thing that I knew I wanted it and held out till I could afford it. My quality of life with my PC has never been better! Things seem so much snappier than I am used to. You cant go wrong with this item!

I have a HP All-in-one desktop with one 16GB M.2 NVMe SSD and one 2TB traditional hard drive. The SSD was used as an Optane cache. Windows 10, applications and data are stored in the hard drive. The desktop is 3 years old and its overall performance is fine but the OS and application launch is very slow as many files are loaded from the slow hard drive. So, I decided to disable the Optane cache and replace the 16GB SSD with a 2TB SSD and clone everything in the hard drive including OS to the 2TB SSD. This Samsung SSD fulfilled my goal quite well. Now, the OS starts much faster and application is launched without annoying noise. One thing I have noticed is that after installing the 2TB SSD (4TB capacity in total), the PCs fan runs a bit more frequently especially when its dormant but before going to a sleep. Im not sure if it is because a temperature sensor is not attached to the installed SSD or Windows does some background operations more frequently due to the large capacity. By the way I tried doing it myself (you can find instructions online) but it was a bit difficult for me and I was worried that I could break the back cover (also I didnt want to buy drivers etc). So, I went to a local computer store and they replaced the Optane cache SSD with the Samsung SSD in less than two hours. Overall, Im satisfied with this product and my decision to replace the traditional hard drive with a SSD to speed up Windows.

I am happy. No problems so far.

Using for a Boot Drive and its VERY Fast!! Samsung Magician will report that its runs HOT but it seems to be a NON-ISSUE. For a couple weeks my drive was running 50+ and lately its been just under. Read a lot about the issue and it appears to be normal and seems to be the temp range the drive LIKES. (As long as its safely under 70 its not a problem). Performance is Incredible and Ive NEVER had a Samsung issue even from the very first SSD I purchased. At this point they have my 100% Boot drive loyalty (workstation, pcs, laptops). Ill take a chance on other makers for my M2 game drive (Google GameLibBooster if ur on PC) but for my Boot drives ONLY SAMSUNG!! I usually buy the Pro versions but this Plus drive actually compares almost identically to the Pro so I saved a cash AND got the same performance. You will too. Nice.

It was so small that I thought it was for my laptop. The NVME purchased while using the 2.5 SSD and replacing the main board was perfect. It was a new world for me, with a large capacity and a small size. It was perfect in terms of speed. It takes two to three weeks to get to Korea, and the same model costs about $230 to buy in Korea, but it saved money by purchasing 165 dollars from Amazon. Storage devices can be easily moved using Samsung migration. No one will harm you.

Read so fast.

Ahora el notebook vuela, aunque un poquito mas de almacenaje nunca es malo. Si tienes para comprar con mas espacio te recomiendo eso. Si no andas con mucho dinero esta opcion te vendrá mas que bien.

Extremely satisfied with the quality & speed.

Es una auténtica bala, se nota la diferencia con un ssd normal

WHen my boss was getting me a new work computer I told him, Make sure the C: drive is at LEAST 512GB as Windows is bloatware and we have a lot of data. Did they listen? NOPE! Even though I loaded software on the other dive... the 256GB (yeah, half of what I asked for) was showing RED and Windows was threatening to shut down. Why is it bosses never listen to the field guys? Seriously. Anyway... I got permission to get a larger drive... and thanks to CYBER MONDAY SALES.... I got a 2TB drive. (Evil Grin). Oh I got storage now!!!! And I can even run STEAM and have games loaded. Wait... did I say that out loud??? And... the computer is MUCH faster now with software on the SSD instead of the HDD which cannot match this speed. Yeah... dont think about it... just do it. Im not an IT guy... and I could install it... so can you.
