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.

so nice to be able to buy the best ssd with the easiest to use installation software ... without relying on outside reviews & demo videos. the samsung magician software that came with my ssd was a snap! i must say, that buying an inexpensive m.2 usb adapter for the new ssd files/software transfer was helpful, too. after an hour or two, magician had all my files, with the proper allocations ready to swap into the motherboard ... easy-peasy!

600 writes to a 2tb drive is 1200 (total terabytes written, which is stated, as end of life/it is worn out. Its quite humorous that samsung agrees with what I stated. Yes, I agree, mr samsung....... 600 writes is pathetic.

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!!

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.

installed 3 2tb samsung evo plus in raid0 in my msi gt76 titan dt-039 4k notebooks as 6tb system drive. i love having one large 6tb nvme ssd in raid0 as my system drive. using msi gt76 titan notebooks intel rapid storage software set the 3 2tb samsung evo plus in raid0 array. not as fast as a single 2tb samsung 970 evo plus would be but close enough & having a large system drive is nice. 3x 2tb in raid0 still gets over 3400 mb/sec read & over 3000 mb/sec write. love these even though samsung magician only recognizes them as raid0 drives w/ no smart support but does support running disk performance benchmark.

speed was good initially but after a few weeks it slowed. my serious concern is that it runs quite hot, even with heat sink it was running at 61 degrees celsius. hope it doesn't fail soon.

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

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.

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.

Upgraded my MSI GT76 Titan DT-039 notebooks 3 PCIe 3.0 slots w/ 3x 2TB Samsung EVO PLUS NVME M.2 SSD's in RAID0 to have a 5.588 TB system drive. Unfortunately, the notebooks BIOS uses Intel Rapid Storage Technology to set up RAID array so the performance merely matches the performance specs of a single 2TB 970 EVO PLUS. I thought combining all 3 2TB Samsung 970 EVO PLUS into a RAID0 array would improve performance over a single 2TB 970 EVO PLUS but it didn't on my notebook. However, I'm glad I did it b/c now I have installed all my pc games, movies, videos & pictures & still have over 5.072 TB of unused drive space to spare. The only thing that surprises me is that the latest version of Samsung Magician doesn't recognize the 3x 2TB Samsung 970 EVO PLUS in RAID0 and refers to them as "RAID0 Volume (Unable to detect) drive not supported" but I can still run Samsung Magician performance benchmark on them in RAID0 array. Perhaps the performance will improve once MSI provides driver update to the notebooks Intel Rapid Storage Technology but either way I'm still pleased w/ these 3x 2TB 970 EVO PLUS in RAID0 array.

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.

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, the sep up was extremely easy. 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.

After reviewing the bench marks of the 970 Evo Plus I purchased two of the M.2 SSD's & I must write, the improvements are there. If I had a CON it would not be against the SSD itself but the tool Magician; although a very good tool it does not allow access to M.2's.

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.

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.
