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

Benchmark in pic is a bit lower that it should be but i had multiple programs as well as video running during the test to evaluate, so this was excellent performance to benchmark like this while being taxed by multiple other programs.

Im not sure how or why but after running a crystal disc test my read and write speeds or about four times higher than what Ive seen in the reviews or the advertised speeds. I bought both a 1 TB and 2 TB disc of this model and transferred my OS into the 1 TB disc with crazy load up times. All my programs load up as soon as I click on them and games load up insanely quick too. This model doesnt even support rapid mode and Samsung magician software so Im not sure how Im getting these results but Im happy. Hopefully this drives last me a while since Ive seen some reviews say that the drive has failed after a few months. Will provide an update if anything happens

I just recently purchased the m.2 SSD for my Gaming Tower. I have my laptop for everyday use but my tower was built solely for gaming. I went a good 6 months after I built it to finally getting around to buying the m.2 drive. The price has come down considerably since when they first came out. Only $115 for the 500 MB stick and with R/W speeds of over 3,500 MB/Sec compared to even my Samsung 850 Evo Solid State Drive which I tested at approx 550 MB/Sec of R/W time. This m.2 drive is blindingly fast when compared to all other drives! I used the Samsung Disk Migration Software that came with the drive to use the new m.2 drive as the boot drive and OS drive. I also use it to run all of my games off of. I would recommend this drive to any serious gamer as it is second to none when it comes to the speeds it can run at!

I upgraded to this as a drive to run my OS on from a 7200rpm hdd. The speeds of this drive have no comparison to that old drive! Boots to windows 10 in just seconds.

Ive installed all sorts of games on mine and I truly do appreciate the speed and storage. Must have for the gamer in your family for their laptop. Just remember their laptop or computer must have a PCEI slot.

Very fast for EVO.

Top ! Perfect

I don’t know what else to say. It plugged in just fine, no problems, easy install.

What more can I say? make sure your motherboard is compatible and this is a steal at its price. goodbye loading screens, the only downside is that I miss being able to heat up a burrito in the time it took to load my old PC.

Easy to install
