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

This made by boot time go from like 30 seconds to 5-10 seconds. Amazing. This increased almost every aspect of my computers performance. Video editing, Photo editing, Web Browsing. Its all like 1-3x faster than on a basic SATA SSD. If you can watch a 5-minute youtube video on how to install it, then youre golden.

I absolutely love this SSD. I upgraded from a 960 EVO 1TB SSD. Im able to have all my storage in a single, speedy unit. Very convenient, and noticeably fast for booting up, copying files, video editing, music production (e.g. loading large sample libraries). This SSD is super fast.

Item as advertised. Delivered on time. Returned item after finding out it doesn’t work with my 2013 MacBook Pro.

I needed a 500 gb drive that I could use as a boot device. It had to fit in an M.2 slot. Ive used Samsung SSDs for years and have been happy with them. This one is performing nicely for me and seems a bit quicker than the Optane drive it replaced. I replaced the Optane drive in hopes of simplifying my system. Im happy with the more straight forward plain old SSD and certainly have suffered no ill effects from making the change.

Perfect for what my husband needed. The solid state is extremely fast. Of course. But it was as fast as he expected and needed.

Seriously... Im quite simply blown away by the speed of this thing! I already had a good setup, a Dell XPS with a 258 GB M.2 SSD drive which was almost full. But its a SATA SSD, so max speed was at 548.49 MB/s. I still loved it, because thats pretty fast no matter how you slice it. But now... oh man. I installed this new drive in an empty pci-e slot. I cloned it using EaseUS Todo Backup. It cloned the whole 258 Gig drive in 16 minutes! I restarted the computer, got into BIOS and changed it so that it now starts using this new Samsung drive and PRESTO!

Works just as expected

just bought this a couple of moths ago for a personal build and it works great, very fast. no complaints

I used to up grade my internal storage on my 2015 MacBook Pro and it has worked great, it is much faster than the stock ssd and 4x the storage. I am getting slower speeds compared to what’s advertised but that could be due to the adapter bottlenecking it around 1200-2000. Overall, works great

Wanted to give my 2014 macbook some extra life with a sintech nvme adapter. Just installed this 970 EVO SAMSUNG ALL THE WAY. Worked without a hitch! I have to say I appreciate that... Quality 100%
