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

If youre buying this for speed, buy the (SAMSUNG 980 PRO 1TB PCIe NVMe) twice as fast read and write speeds. Only draw back is the 980 the largest is 1 tb were 970 2tbs.

Upgrade for a poorly designed pre-built gaming system. 16GB x 4 for 64GB system RAM... Sort of overkill, but really smooths out Flight Sim 2020 using a Gen 9 Core i7 and an MSI GTX-1660 Super. Great bang for the buck. The heat spreaders are well engineered, and workmanship is top tier.

Before any files or the operating system were placed on the drive, the capacity is about 1.81TB, not 2TB.

I installed this a couple weeks ago and it seems to work perfectly. You should get a heat sink for it if you don’t already have one though.

I decided to return this after reading reviews of alternatives. There are cheaper and faster drives, which use far less power, thus avoiding overheating. I decided on Sabrent’s Rocket, with a Sintech adapter. My two 2015 rMBP get 1200+ MB/s writing. (Slightly faster reading.) It’s been almost a year now, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my choice.

Benchmarked speeds I got were higher than the advertised sequential speeds which is a nice surprise. Upgraded to this from the Samsung 960 Evo 250GB and have seen some improvements with loading times, but nothing too outstanding in differences.

Bought this in hopes it will boost my PC. I built my PC in 2012 and at this point I am too old to stick money into my tower anymore. The SSD card looked extremely convincing. However there is no way to plug it into the motherboard and the converters are limited at 200mb/s.

This product is stable and very fast as its reputation. The price is a bit expensive but worth it.

I recently purchased a Lenovo P72 Laptop which had a 32GB RAM but a small hard drive. I don’t have lots of programs therefore I thought I’d be able to run my programs with a large external hard drive. I was wrong so consequently I contacted Lenovo and found I had a M.2 open connection and a SATA port, so I researched the internet and YouTube and I was happy to use the Amazon reviews which allowed me to feel confident in buying and installing the drive myself. There was an obstacle in removing Lenovo’s cheap brass screw which forced me to use two different screw extractors and use one of my own micro-sized screw to install the drive. The stripped screw was not a fault of the M.2 device as the SSD doesn’t come with a screw to secure to the laptop. It would be nice to have a few screws included. There was another small problem I overcame. The Samsung site provided downloadable drivers and migration software of CDrive data to the new drive. It’s important to download all software to a USB drive PLUS confirm that the Windows 10 Bios uses a USB drive to change the M.2 to the BOOT drive without loosing any things from the old C drive. In short without any real training or formal technical experience, I was successful in migrating the information. I suggest that you request a Windows 10 license number or verification that you have legal software since i did get an online request for verification probably since I altered my computer! This SSD is great. I’d highly recommend it.

I use this in a video editing pic build and its allowed me to blow through timelines and post processing on video and photo.
