SAMSUNG (MZ-V7E500BW) 970 EVO SSD 500GB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology, Black/Red

Used it in hp omen 17t i9 9880h / rtx 2080 and 32 gigs 2666 @ cas16.

They are still expensive as can not wait until they are $25 each. For the price of near $160 which they cost I can get a 8TB Hard Drive instead. Were just paying a high cost for miniaturization and speed. Maybe as Octane becomes more common in usage that NVMe will drop in price.

extremely fast, very well priced. cant ask for more from a drive. This is nearly RAM speed.

Awesome stuff, I wish the 2tb was a little more affordable, as good 1tb is seeing how games like Read Dead 2 and CoD MW are over 150GB each, the 1tb wont last long unless you plan to uninstall stuff as you get new games.

when i press the power button it takes 13 seconds to get into windows

Slight pain to install in My HP Envy 750-637c, but worked great once in (and after BIOS settings to make it work).

First off, great product and great corrective action taken by amazon. Serious issues in either the Amazon warehouse, Samsung manufacturing plant, or people buying these and sending them back to amazon. I bought a 500GB Samsung EVO and a 2TB Samsung EVO Pro. The 500GB Samsung EVO was used but I just reformatted it and that was that. The 2TB EVO Pro came in what appeared to be a sealed box but had a 250GB non pro inside. Amazon did take my word and send me a replacement, though be warned. The odds of ending up with this product being heavily tampered with (in my experience) is very high.

I updated my Mac book pro.

Just great, somewhat of an overkill for what I needed could’ve bought a regular ssd but whatever

Installation is as easy as every other NVMe SSD
