I always thought Samsung was overpriced... but after a daily use of this SSD NVMe, I can fully say it's a beast.

Samsung isn't lying about their products' reliability.

On the flip side? Nothing so far. I always thought Samsung was overpriced... but after a daily use of this SSD NVMe, I can fully say it's a beast.

System: Ryzen 2700X, B450 MoBo, 32GB 3200mhz. GTX770 and GTX 760 (Yeah yeah old GPU's)

Got the drive and migrated from an old 840 PRO Samsung Sata SSD. Bench before 553 Read, 457 write. Bench after 3504 Read, 3170 Write.

Pros: NVMe over SATA is just win, SATA has reached its peak, NVMe is the next step.

Cons: Under B450 chipset, I loose 2 ASATA ports, but make up for it with the 1TB of space. System: Ryzen 2700X, B450 MoBo, 32GB 3200mhz. GTX770 and GTX 760 (Yeah yeah old GPU's)

I used a PCIe to M.2 expansion card to clone my old 500gb M.2 over to this one to double my storage space. I now have the 970 EVO installed in my PC and I'm getting great read and write speeds.

Great product, worked as expected, no issues. Great product, worked as expected, no issues.

Had this for about 1 week. My last PC only had SATA2 and mechanical drives. Made this the OS drive. Super fast. Does get warm according to the monitoring tool. Gets to about 51-52 degrees (it can withstand 70 degrees, so well within limits) - but doesn't have a heatsink on it. No complaints. Works fine.
Pros:
Fast, like really fast.
Small and easy to install - no external cables to attach.

Cons:
No heatsink, but don't think it matters.
"Limited" to PCIe3 (that's still very fast). Had this for about 1 week. My last PC only had SATA2 and mechanical drives. Made this the OS drive. Super fast.

So far I have had this for a few weeks now. All I can say is it is beyond my expectations, speed is great! Space is decient and it's a great priced item. 5 stars good job samsung.

I purchased an older version around 18 months ago and had it due on me just recently. As I needed a replacement and couldn’t wait for warranty to replace it I had to buy this. At first I was dreading it as my last one cost twice the price. But the increase speeds better firmware and cheaper price shows is great.

Back up and running in no time at all. I purchased an older version around 18 months ago and had it due on me just recently.

I am amazed at how cheap the NVMe drives have become in the last few years and how quick they are as well. My first NVMe drive was the Samsung 512GB 950 Pro which I purchased for over $600 in 2016. The Samsung 1TB 970 EVO Plus that I have recently purchased blows that out of the water in terms of speed and capacity...and for far less than the earlier model.

Since my original purchase back in 2016, Samsung has impressed me with regards to their NVMe drives...and it is the main reason I went with the Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe drive when I upgraded my storage capacity.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that these drives are quick, reliable and I have no hesitation recommending if for your next high speed system build...

Its only being 2 or so weeks but I am delighted at the performance and easy install also at PB Tech great service Its only being 2 or so weeks but I am delighted at the performance and easy install also at PB Tech great service

If you're looking at getting an SSD but have the option to install an M.2, get the M.2 every time! Waaay faster and it can actually multitask well, unlike an SSD which will stall if you try to do two separate heavy read/write loads at the same time due to SSDs using the SATA interface, where these use PCI-e lanes. This handles file transfers and heavy multi-tasking with ease, splitting bandwidth fairly evenly between tasks. It'll happily copy around 4GB in a couple of seconds, but anything over about 8GB will taper off over time, sometimes down to between 500-900MB/s. You won't notice an advantage with boot times over an SSD, but everything...view more If you're looking at getting an SSD but have the option to install an M.2, get the M.2 every time!

You won't notice an advantage with boot times over an SSD, but everything else will be exponentially better! Also perfect if you care about a tidy build and don't want to mess with SATA cables

This is a pretty well reviewed NVMe SSD, which is why I decided to purchase it. I'm using this for work (video/animation/post-production work) so I needed to go with a quality drive and thus far I'm very happy with it. It feels faster then my 1 TB 960 EVO. Great drive, easy to install and setup. Happy with my purchase. This is a pretty well reviewed NVMe SSD, which is why I decided to purchase it.

Was quick and easy to install, and with the cloning software from the Samsung website it was simple to copy my C: drive to it. This drive is so much faster than the HDD I was using previously. Windows boots in about 7 seconds. I'm super happy with it. Was quick and easy to install, and with the cloning software from the Samsung website it was simple to copy my C: drive to it.
