Rated 3 out of 5

Took me an hour to find screws that fit. So...

I'm still installing. Had to dig out an old motherboard to find screws for this. Really? And now I can't find a driver. I'm sure I won't be disappointed with performance, but this is kind of a drag.

Speed is king

Fast read and write. One of the fastest, if not the fastest M.2 SSD and the price is reasonable vs other major brand.

Great features, horrible software

Good buy. The bad thing is the Samsung magician tool, no magic at all. My friend died because the app would not update the firmware.

Excellent value drive

Very fast Gen 4 drive. For the right price this is one of the best values I've seen for an NVMe drive. Great longevity and great real world performance.

Not compatible with the PS5

I bought this because it was listed as being compatible with the PS5. Finally got around to installing it just to find out it is, in fact, not compatible with the PS5. I'm assuming I'm outside my return/exchange policy as well. Very disconcerting.

Great to have space

It works fine. Great to have the extra space. I did have some initial blue screen issues Iwas able to resolve. The screw hole sizes to secure the drives are different. I had to use a motherboard screw. :-(

Fast and well reviewed SSD

Quality SSD (read the reviews online): very fast, lots of room, easy to install. Glad I replaced my 256GB SSD, giving me lots of room to grow.

Failing SSD, no support in my country

Good M2 Drive but not as fast as newer ones

A bit slower than my 990 Pro and 980 Pro, but does the job. Not issues yet with the device or microcode.

Only one to buy

I have always had great luck with Samsung products. They perform as advertised or better. I have never had a problem. All my M2 memory is Samsung and I have all capacities from 500's to 2tb's.

About Samsung 1TB 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 Internal SSD

FEATURED REVIEWS

super fast and excellent quality

By jbarker138

I love this nvme ssd card because it is blazingly fast. I couldn't imagine my OS on a regular ssd or a especially a standard hard drive. Knowing that it is of the best quality and backed by an excellent warranty, which Samsung is known for, I can sleep at night like a baby. I love my computer even more. Also, I am really into Samsung's Magician software.

More space on my C: drive.

By DaveW

I swapped out my 128 GB SSD root drive with this 500 GB SSD using the cloning software downloaded from Samsung and an adapter. (Because my Dell computer had but one slot, I had to buy a $49. adapter for the cloning process.) My computer booted right up and has been working flawlessly ever since.

While continually evolving in the realm of solid-state drives (SSDs), the 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD stands as a testament to superior performance and advanced technology. This high-performance SSD, faster than its predecessor, the 970 EVO, harnesses the power of the latest V-NAND technology and firmware optimization to fully exploit the potential of NVMe bandwidth, delivering unbeatable computing experiences.

With a capacious storage capacity of up to 1TB, this SSD offers a reliable data storage solution with an impressive endurance of up to 600 TBW. It's designed to level up your performance, reaching sequential read/write speeds of up to 3,500/3,300 MB/s, which is up to 53% faster than the 970 EVO. This speed boost is powered by the latest V-NAND technology, which provides greater NAND performance and higher power efficiency, coupled with optimized firmware, a proven Phoenix controller, and Intelligent TurboWrite.

The 970 EVO Plus showcases design flexibility, fitting up to 1TB onto the compact M.2 (2280) form factor. This innovative design not only expands storage capacity but also saves space for other components, empowering you with the capacity to do more and accomplish more.

Exceptional endurance and unparalleled reliability are the hallmarks of this SSD. It offers sustainable performance with up to 600 TBW and is backed by Samsung's reputation for quality. The advanced nickel-coated controller and heat spreader on the 970 EVO Plus facilitate superior heat dissipation, while the Dynamic Thermal Guard automatically monitors and maintains optimal operating temperatures to minimize performance drops.

The 970 EVO Plus also comes with Samsung Magician, an advanced drive management software that simplifies the task of keeping an eye on your drive. This user-friendly suite of tools helps keep your drive up-to-date, monitors drive health and speed, and even boosts performance, making the 970 EVO Plus a reliable, fast, and high-performance SSD for all your data storage needs.
