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 you’re upgrading from an old SSD or -God forbid- a hard drive, this will feels super fast!

As the last generation of PCI-E 3.0, its read-write performance is very strong and its temperature is moderate

one of the cheapest NVME yourre gonna find at 2TB, great price, great speed.

My son wanted the additional memory for his gaming computer. This was completely his choice. Install took about 3 minutes. We did have need to format the drive, for it to show up. He said it’s absolutely amazing. He downloaded his games directly to the drive. He said the overall performance is amazing and the game load times a play is way faster.

Requires screw

Really really impressed!

After previously ordering a few so-so and bad apples.... (Samsung 980 Series - 1TB, WD Blue SN550 500GB respectively) finally settled on this one (Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB). Even though the 980 is newer, it lacks in performance. For the $149 tag price, 970 was the clear winner.

Good

This is a followup review,I initially wrote that this drive performed up to expectations with 3300/3100 but after owning it for a month and seeing it drop to 3300/1000, I have to report is has failed and is probably defective ...I had this drive and a hynix p31 gold at the same time...Both run with adapters and with heatsinks from the start... the evo 970 plus had very low read iops and low write iops even when new, barely doing half the claimed amount..the hynix had double the iops of the samsung....The samsung ran quite hot from the get go but became Extremely hot as it began to fail..temps initially With heatsink were around 51c and at the time of write speeds dropping, it was probably at 80c as it was too hot to touch ...this is crazy high for an nvme with heatsink and probably why these drive may have poor longevity...samsung Knows the power consumption is thru the roof and it may be a byproduct of the high write speeds....would I recommend for a laptop? Absolutely Not! these are too power hungry, will give you poor battery life and literally fry itself inside ur laptop....The hynix p31 gold was a Much better drive with equal performance and cool running but unusable on mac...

It has great starting storage, it’s fast, it’s reliable, no issues at all been running for a couple months already! Recommend for sure can’t go wrong with Samsung!
