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 purchased this November 26, 2021. The drive got completely corrupted in bricked as of the beginning of August 2022. At first I thought maybe it was something on my end that mightve corrupted the drive somehow, tried every fix I could look up to try to repair the drive but to no avail. Looked at the rest of the 1 star reviews to find out that other people face the same issue with their drive also getting bricked in less than a year so I guess its just a faulty product. Samsung does offer a 5 year warranty on their site, but funnily enough, theres nowhere on their site to actually file the warranty claim.

its running a $10,000.oo PC.

Do not forget to use

This drive simply Delivers! Be aware of one important thing: Get the Best heatsink you can find to keep it cool if you plan on moving many GBs to and from it. It Will get HOT! The cooler you can keep it, the faster it will move data and the Longer it will last. It appears heat is the enemy of these drives. The documentation could be better with the drive. I had to research the hardware chats online to verify it would work with my HP 15CS laptop. The biggest weakness of the laptop is the 5400 rpm spindle drive. Wow did this wake it Up! Just dont look for any support from HP. There is none of any useful quantity.

My old hard drive upgraded ssd. It’s faster my games. Keeping my old HDD future…..

easy to install runs smooth and without heatspikes 10 out of 10

So much better than a hard drive. Thats all I have to say.

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.

Very easy to install, magician said is the original product. So far the ssd its working great. It over heat a little bit but i hope to solve this in the near future.

It works
