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

All attempts to move my data to this new drive have failed. The Samsung data migration utility never makes any progress and freezes up when attempting to write this drive. The recommended Samsung nvme driver fails to detect at Samsung nvme device. And the performance benchmarks show in abysmal 30 Mbps a second sequential read and a 5 mb per second sequential right let alone the iops are unacceptable well below the worst of solid state drives Ive ever seen.

Great to use as a C drive in a new build. Not the fastest drive on the block, but fast enough considering its price.

I use this NVMe card in a NVMe to USB 3 adapter to transfer large files from one computer to another. On a USB-C Thunderbolt port it transfers files at a sustained data rate of 500-600 MBps. It also can be used inside a computer plugged into an M.2 connector on the motherboard where I suspect it would support an even faster data transfer rate.

Was recognized and able to be Initialized in the BIOS of an Asrock X570 pro4 for a new build. And no problems installing windows. Drive is running at advertised speeds.

Ultra fast and reliable SSD NVMe M.2

My motherboard was one of the first to offer a M.2 slot, and its truly remarkable how much of an upgrade the Samsung 970 EVO Plus is over the Samsung 950 PRO that I installed 4 years ago (which died suddenly)! VROOM!!!

So I upgraded my Lenovo X1 Carbon SSD from 500G to this one which a 1TB. I looked at many reviews and Youtube videos prior and it looked like the upgrade should have been super easy for me- I dont have a computer or IT background but am very comfortable with basic upgrades, repairs, and software management and have a Mac, Windows and am a Ubuntu Linux user- and have fixed many software and hardware issues myself.

I bought this because I needed to expand my storage on my gaming pc. Little did I know I was already using all the m.2 slots on my pc so I purchased a m.2 pcie adapter. Installed and tested through the adapter and getting great speeds not a single issue. Highly recommend and will more than likely be ordering again.

Great deal super fast shipping

Fast reliable pcie3.0. If your motherboard has pcie4.0 i would get one that supports that as its twice as fast. But if your like me upgrading a small ssd that my gaming laptop came with a couple years ago this will maximize your pc. This has made my laptop keep up with modern games it was struggling with.
