[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the ssd to be the main storage for my operating system on my new pc and primary storage since i didnt buy another or a hard drive, but the speeds are crazy fast. im i play the same games as on my ps4 (Borderlands pre,2,3, outriders new horizion, watchdogs, fallout 4, and i usually have to wait like a min or so during screen transitions or cut scenes and would usually check my phone during this time but i cant do that with these high speeds. The transitions stick around for like 3 seconds and im back in. I got it before the 980 came out but im planning on getting it anyways and switching the primary storage for those fast load times.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My computer has so much stored on it from music to pictures and games. I have been taking all the pics from my cell and my husbands cell and just uploading them onto our computer hard-drive forever now. It was running slow, taking forever to complete new actions and switch between programs until I installed this bad boy. We now have plenty of memory and the speed at which it runs is super fast. Like its brand new and has nothing on it. It's so awesome. Our computer boots up so fast now and we are no longer waiting for files to upload forever like before and I dont have to choose what I want to keep and not keep to make room!

Bought this less than a year ago and was very impressed with the performance. All of a sudden one day windows wouldn't boot up. Swapped out another hard drive and reinstalled windows on that instead. Booted it up, detects the 970 Evo 1tb in the bios, but when I go to windows there is nothing. Was able to open the drive momentarily through "this pc" but nothing could be opened or moved or changed. Tried to format and would not let me. Drive is set to read only and I cannot take it off. Samsung magician detects it and its running a scan now, getting all sorts of bad sectors. Trying to figure out how the warranty works on this because this drive should not be dead already.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My computer is fairly new, with latest processor and motherboard. I added more RAM, but I only observed minimal improvement in the performance. I never thought my SSD could be the bottleneck. After I added the Samsung 970 EVO plus M2 drive, the performance improved significantly. My computer boots way too fast, programs open lot quicker now, and switching programs are almost instantaneous. Just to experiment, I cut down the RAM to half size, and I did not notice any performance degradation. This is amazing. I will go ahead and switch harddrives in my other laptops with the Samsung 970 EVO plus. I would surely recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their laptop or desktop performance.

We had a high end computer built for us and this drive was in it. We have now had it replaced twice but I do not want to send the whole computer across the US again as shipping is ridiculous. We had the drive replaced locally and came for a warranty (since we have had it a little over two years) but since we did not buy the drive (we bought a computer) there is no proof of purchase and the builder did not itemize components - and since it has already been replaced once before (I have had the computer less than four years) even that information would be inaccurate. I have switched brands.

my samsung 970 evo plus 500gb nvme m.2 is no doubt the best ssd! i've used mine since shortly after it first came out and i've used/use others as well. my 970 still scores top speeds on tests where as other ssds i use tend to get worn out and slow down over time. i ran smartctl yesterday and my 970 has 51 tb written and still scores 2,900-3,200 reads/writes when tested. i believe it will live up to the 300tbw lifespan that the 500gb has. sure is good nowadays to be able to trust that something works because many are a let down but not samsung! excellent ssds! highly recommend!!

We needed more space. We love to travel and take tons of pictures have and videos that we want to keep safely. I have previously lost pictures with my laptop not working. We got this Samsung memory card and put in an external shell. It is amazing!! We were able to add all of our photographs and videos of all our vacation destinations and have room to add stuff (next destination : Thailand) The interface is very easy to use and the files are simple to access. This is a fantastic product and I will recommend it to anyone looking to save their precious files of any type.

Bastante decepcionado con este disco, ponen un anuncio gigante de 3.500mb/s lectura y 3.200mb/s escritura, pero lo demás si es dificil de encontrar y saber, que esas velocidades son solo en una zona del disco (y me imagino pequeña) y el resto si es a una velocidad muy baja, sobre todo en los modelos de 250gb (400mb/s) y 500gb (900mb/s)... hubiera visto o conocido esa informacion antes de comprarlo hubiera preferido ir por un disco a 2000mb/s de lecto-escritura, pero siendo la velocidad REAL en todo el disco, no en una minima zona y el resto bien lento ...

I had installed a 1TB EVO 860 SATA (storage) disk on my gaming laptop plus an original Kingston M.2. 128GB system SSD. Upgrading the M.2 system to a 970 Pro should have been an easy task using Macrium software, but I did not know that I had to load the original partitions one by one, in order to resize (expand) any partition (most importantly the C - system). I think Samsung should have provided a tool for upgrading (Samsung or other) system disks to larger ones. Providing a good and free migration tool working with any brands would have been good PR!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been over 2 years and this drive is working more so than I expected! No problems or hiccups especially with my being a video editor, I need reliability and this drive doesn't slow down when it gets hot--even when I've been editing for over 3 hours! I plan on ordering another one soon to replace the Crucial drive I currently have in the my system. I've installed 2 other drives in my laptop and my parent's computer and most products can not compete with the performance of your drives. Thank you SAMSUNG for your making dependable products.

I bought this to migrate from my 2 year old 960 Evo. Installation & migration (cloning) was simple and a performance test (ATTO) showed the expected increase in performance. What I didn't expect was the much higher operating temps. I stopped the Magician performance test when T2 hit 100C, when it hadn't been running for long. In normal operation with a light load T2 is around 80C. I have a well-ventilated system and the 960 Evo happily ran at around 50C, so I am a bit concerned. I may fit a heat sink. But some feedback here would be good.

My PC has a 120 gig SSD connected via sata. I want more storage with a PCIe x4 data connection. I purchased the Samsung 970 EVO and plugged it into my motherboard in the m.2 slot. The problem came when I ran the Samsung Migration software. It errors out when it tries to migrate the data from the SSD to the 970 - very disappointing. The Samsung website offers no support. When I search the internet, I find that many other people have the same issue and recommend using other migration software. Samsung needs to address this problem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a PlayStation 4 the original not the pro and as such it has a regular drive not the SSD. Now honestly the PS4 is a great system and is fast and good with storage. But I never realized how much better could be with the Samsung 907 EVO plus M2 drive. Everything ever since has improve which is a bit mind boggling. Obviously storage is expected with 250GB but also performance, speed and gaming experience was so much better. And its quite easy to replace and set up, there are many YouTube videos out there to replace your hard drive with and SSD that have detailed step by step instructions. I would highly recommend this product to everyone not only those who want to improve gaming experience like I did but also for those who want to improve their experience on a computer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] my computer starts in under 10 seconds from a cold start and a restart is like 3-4 seconds. Applications open up in an instant. Processing happens in blink of an eye like 3d designing using CAD. All this was possible after switching to the 970 Evo plus SSD 1 TB. I have it installed in the NVME M2 slot and did install a heatsink with an active fan on it. A few months ago, the fan died and I was afraid of overheating. But as it turns out, the existing ventilation in my tower casing is enough with just the heatsink on the SSD. I was so impressed with this SSD, that i brought more and changed my laptops to this SSD from a 3.5 inch SSD! I have become so comfortable with my fast and crisp computer that now I get frustrated in my office as the computer there is "slow". Don't say you weren't warned!

Eerst had ik 1 jaar een super slome harde schijf in mijn computer zitten. Ik was na 1 jaar wel aan een SSD toe want dat had ik nog niet. Ik had wel een klein beetje moeite met het installeren want mijn BIOS vond de SSD niet. Maar uiteindelijk had ik het allemaal gevonden. Met de clone software van Samsung heb je ook super snel je Windows en de rest overgezet naar de SSD. Het verschil was enorm te zien. Eerst startte mijn pc op in 2 minuten en nu 15 seconde, en dat is nog al een groot verschil.

Deze snell Samsung SSD past perfect in mijn nieuw gekochte PCIe kaartje voor in mijn oude moederbord. Hiermee wil ik mijn nieuwe W10 installatie laten booten (wel van te voren gecontroleerd dat de BIOS dit ondersteunt). Zorg hier wel voor dat deze kaart je enige gekoppelde mogelijkheid is om te schrijven want anders worden andere HD's eerder gevonden om een nieuwe installatie van W10 te installeren. Ik ben er zeer tevreden over en kan het een ieder aanraden die ook hierop wil overstappen!

With my old system and a 850 Evo as my boot disk, my boot time was 8-9 seconds. Now that's 32gb ram, 4790k CPU and gigabyte z97x Mobo. With a Asus Maximus hero xi, 9900k, 64gb trident ddr3000 and a 970 Evo plus....15-16 seconds. Have tried clean install and only drivers updates and still the same. Samsung magician states the drive is running at advertised speeds so not gonna hammer the issue but this being my first experience with m2 drives and I'm not that impressed. Maybe I'm missing something but temps are not a issue, stability not a issue, 970 drivers not a issue and OS integrity not a issue...nor bios settings. I would rate it a 3 star but it works and by no means is it slow but to double my boot time rates it at 3.5(4) stars. Would I recommend anybody buy a m2 drive over a standard SSD? Nope.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had alot of issues with memory on the laptop and was always having to delete things just to make more room and things where even getting delete without me doing it with was not good since I work with my laptop. But now I'm able to work & i have like an endless supply of memory. Files transfers in & out with ease and with a quickness I haven’t found in other memory cards. I definitely have a better sense of security knowing things wont get deleted and will be there later.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome This memory device is AWESOME.!! It's super fast on our computer and the computer was already fast but this.......... this took fast to another level.  I'm only speaking word of mouth because my boyfriend put it in his computer that he built but it was an easy install and the storage capacity was just what he needed. It has yet to overheat so that's a really good thing too because he's ALWAYS on the computer doing studio stuff. I'd definitely recommend this product.

Vorige week gekocht en alhoewel ik altijd SSD's heb gebruikt, gebruik ik nu deze m.2 en alles gaat aanzienlijk sneller met name de computer opstarten en spellen inladen. Ook is het makkelijk te installeren, uiteraard wel voorzichtig aansluiten, eenmaal in zijn slot is het gewoon een schroefje aandraaien en het zit erin. Nog even configureren uiteraard, eenmaal dit gedaan is, hoef je er niet meer naar om te kijken en kun je genieten van snelle laadtijden.

where can we see the compatability information? i'm using a fairly new dell g5 15 se 5505, with a ryzen 9 4900h. it currently has a 1tb ssd and an empty slot for a 2nd ssd. i would rather upgrade the machine by putting this in that vacant slot instead of adding a 2nd dell ssd. it calls for a m.2 pcie nvme class 40 2280, which i see this is (except the class 40 part i am not sure about). does that automatically mean that i can use this one in my machine?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just recieved my samsung 970EVOPlus 250GB ssd. Took apart my computer and installed it. I was amazed at the increase of speed I had after just starting up my computer. I am so happy to have the extra space on my hard drive now for storage. Being a college student and doing medical billing and coding the increase in space has made a tremendous difference from what I had before. The only problem I had was the installation of the device

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super fast SSD for productivity and video editing I wanted to add this Samsumg SSD to my new Dell XPS 15 laptop computer. The factory SSD installed on the laptop was fairly quick, but the Samsung 970 EVO Plus is blazing fast! No other SSD can compare. With 500MB/s Seq. Read speeds and 2,300MB/s Seq. Write speeds, it makes multitasking and video editing a breeze. On my laptop, the read speeds were well over 2 gbps! My computer booted a lot faster, applications and programs loaded way quicker, and video post processing was almost 50% faster! I was so amazed by the performance. The only downside for me would be the storage capacity. I wish I had a 500gb or 1tb SSD. My laptop only has one slot on the motherboard so if I want more storage, I would need an external harddrive or upgrade this SSD to a bigger capacity. However all in all, this is the best SSD on the market today!

Speeds are easily that advertised (e.g. 1.6GB/s on image backup). Quality SSD and controller. Samsung Magician does not work, though the driver software does. After removing Intel RST, speeds increased to advertised. Make sure you are not using the Microsoft generic M.2 NVMe drivers (again for speed reasons). Wish it came with M.2 screw, but no OEM does either.

Also, I am really into Samsung's Magician software.

Les performances sont au rendez vous mais elles sont ternies par une température excessive en charge même avec un très bon dissipateur (HCM Pro X), 50°C en moyenne au repos et plus de 80°C en charge. Avant la mise en place du dissipateur, le SSD s'est même mis en sécurité (baisse des débits). Du coup j'ai des doutes sur la longévité du produit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got this SSD, I thought for setup in my laptop but I wanted to test it out. I got a enclosure and installed it. The only problem I faced was instructions. They are very vague when it comes to how to install or download the software. Finally we figured to download the Samsung magician software after calling Samsung. And it worked. Even though Samsung magician is hard to understand with no instructions in the manual. It took us a while to set the SSD with the software. But once it was installed, it worked with amazing speed. I think 250 GB is perfect for my use. I made partitions on Samsung magician for my kids photos and business. Still tons of space. It is Fast, affordable and amazing. I never thought of its speed will be that awesome. I use this SSD as my home based business. Since I spend doing 98% of my work on laptop. This 970 evo plus SSD saved my life. Thank you Samsung. I am always impressed with your technological innovations.

This is my 4th NVMe EVO SSD and it does not disappoint. It is noticeably faster than my previous 970 EVO, which was also an excellent performer. Another great feature is the migration tool Samsung provides (download from web site). Transfer of Windows 10 system to the new drive took just 5 minutes and worked without a hitch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using Samsung NVMe since 2018 on 4 Mac OS machines with Raid and never a problem with losing photography, data, video or nada. I do make goofy errors but not with solid 970 & 980 EVOs keeping me out of priceless losses.

Ahmed: I’m very sorry for the difficulties you’ve experienced with your 970 EVO Plus SSD not being recognized. We completely understand your frustrations, and we are here to help. There are several reasons why this may be happening. 1. Your PC may fail to detect the SSD automatically; please search for new devices in Windows Device Manager. 2. When Hot Plug-in for each port in BIOS settings is set to Off by default, Windows may fail to detect the SSD. In this case, reboot the system, enter BIOS setup, and go to the configuration menu to ensure that Hot Plug-in for each port is set to "Enable“. How to enter BIOS setup for different mainboards: • GIGABYTE -->F12, ASUS --> F8, ASRock --> F11, Biostar --> F9, MSI --> F11, Intel --> F10 3. When SSD is not properly connected, the system may fail to detect the SSD. Disconnect and reconnect 4. When the partition has not been defined, it may cause failure in detecting the SSD. Go to Device Manager to set up a partition, format the drive, and then reboot. • Management> Disk Management> Select SSD> Set up partition and format. For further assistance, step-by-step troubleshooting or warranty service. Please contact Samsung Memory Support directly. You can reach us at: 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Memory or press #, then 6 for Memory products) Available 9AM – 12AM EST (Mon-Fri) Or visit us on the Samsung website and click on the SUPPORT link in the upper right corner of the homepage for: 1.

Deze SSD is zeer snel, hierdoor zijn alle laadtijden minimaal. Windows start in seconden op en programmas laden zo goed als direct. Een zeer snelle SSD en geen minpunten. De software van Samsung helpt daar ook bij.

Gerry: Thank you for purchasing the 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD. I am very sorry to hear that you are experiencing heat issues. Samsung NVMe SSDs maintain optimal performance thanks to Samsung’s advanced design and manufacturing capabilities coupled with an integrated, heat dissipating thermal label. In rare instances of extreme workloads (transfer of several hundreds of GB), performance may be throttled through Samsung’s dynamic thermal throttling algorithm to protect the SSDs integrity. Please be aware, however, that an external heat source such as a high-powered graphics card, or CPU placed in close proximity to the SSD, can adversely affect airflow around a Samsung NVMe SSD which may lead to performance degradation. Therefore, please ensure there is appropriate airflow around your SSD. Should you have any further questions or concerns we can help you with, please contact Samsung Customer Support. You can reach us at: 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Memory) Available 9AM - 12AM EST (Mon-Fri) Or visit us on the Samsung website and click on the SUPPORT link in the upper right corner for: 1) Contact Us Options (LiveChat, Remote Support, Facebook, Twitter) 2) Product Support 3) Manuals and Downloads 4) Warranty Info 5) Product Registration: Registering your product gives you access to easy warranty support, convenient opt-in to special promos and offers, faster troubleshooting and service, and quick notification of system updates 6) Samsung Community: A great resource for getting help from Samsung moderators and customers and more 7) …and more product, repair, order, and care options Samsung stands behind the quality and performance of every 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD we manufacture with a limited 5-year manufacturer’s warranty when purchased brand-new, directly from an authorized dealer. ~ Samsung Memory
