Samsung 970 Evo 1 Tb Ssd Laptop

I now have multiple Samsung products: phone, laptop, internal and externa SSDs. The hardware has been consistently excellent...zero complaints. So far, the 970 Evo SSD recently purchased is purring along as I have come to expect. NO disappointments here! I purchased a Galaxy Book Pro 2 with only a 256GB SSD with the intentions of replacing it with a 1TB drive. I got the best of both worlds when to my pleasant surprise, B&H gave me a gift certificate for $100 with the purchase of the laptop. I then applied that to the cost of the 1TB 970 Evo....coming out way ahead and have a much faster SSD that would have come installed in the laptop. I most certainly would highly recommend this product!

very good samsung ssd 500GB 970 EVO Plus

I installed this 970 EVO PLUS 1 TB SSD into my new NUC 11 Phantom Canyon PC. Installed WIN 10 Pro. The machine is blazing fast and loads Google Earth so fast and snappy is amazing.

I have used the Samsung 970 EVO 1 TB and some older versions as well. According to review sites, this is a newer but not a better version of the Samsung cheaper consumer line SSD. There are no DRAMs anymore. If you consider buying this, you should research it first to understand your usage whether the lack of DRAMs will impact what you do. For me, Windows 10 booted up in less than 17 seconds including post, that's pretty good for a $120 1TB drive. I am sure if you are doing a tons of I/O for your PC, then you should consider the $180 1TB 980 EVO PRO instead. But for me, this is great speed and great price.

I used this card to hold a Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD to replace my existing hard drive. My Dell 8900 recognized both the PCIe card and SSD and loaded Windows 10 with no hiccups. The card hold 4 SSD but I only used one (1TB). Both the ASUS card and B&H are great!

i bought 970 evo plus 1tb ssd a month ago nearly im very impressed with its performance its speed is as advetised even a bit more (read/write) its my second samsung ssd i use one as boot drive(980 pro 500 gb) but my pc is also decent enough (sadly not pcie 4 but still ok ish) specs 9700kf 32 gb ram 500gb samsung 980 pro 500 gb 1tb 970 evo plus 1tb motherboard asus prime z390 m plus (pcie 3 sadly but still very fast for me) overall samsung is great brand i use samsung phones for years i never had problems with any samsung product .even my old pc ram is samsung 2gb (been using it for over 10 years ) samsung is very good

I had previously purchased a Samsung 970 Pro NVME SSD so I was happy to see that the EVO version was even faster. I am very happy with the speed, responsiveness and durability of these products. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a PCIE 3.0 motherboard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For $199 plus tax, I would say the 2TB Samsung 970 evo plus is really good for it's price. It's a better value than sata ssd's of the same value and price. It's a couple less cables to deal with which is nice. Arrived pretty quickly and box was in good condition, barely any scratches or scuffs. Unboxing it, you get the drive itself; I was very surprised to see how small NVME really is compared to SATA. Installation was relatively painless; make sure your MB has an m.2 slot that supports pcie 3.0 x4. I used windows disk management to format the drive and used samsung migration to move OS and all my data onto this new drive, then downloaded samsung magician for further utility. I recommend downloading the NVME driver from samsung's website as when you install the drive for the first time, it uses microsoft's nvme drivers. Downloading the samsung drivers provided a small boost to all stats as seen above. Drive runs relatively warm but not hot with my use. It idles around 45-52c and when gaming, it's between 55-65c without a heatsink on it. Gaming on it is a beast, load times are very fast and very little stuttering in games, especially compared to HDD's and Dramless ssd's. Downloads are very fast as well. One thing to note, it's been know samsung has made revisions of their 970 evo plus drives to have the elpis controller which is found on the 980 pro; that has slightly worse sustained writes when doing heavy workloads. My 2TB which has P/N MZVLB2T0HALB, has the old phoenix controller which is slightly better all round, drive was made in 2021 11 03 in Thailand.

b&h does a great job delivering it on time and in a well protected packaging. 2tb 970 evo plus nvme m.2 is great product as well. brought additional speed in my laptop. I installed it as an internal ssd drive replacing the original 512 gb ssd in my laptop. i used the usb xcellon enclosure as an auxillary for the cloning. cloning is the part that gave a little hussle, how i wish samsung updated their data migration software allowing cloning thru usb. i researched on internet even the intel data migration software won't allow usb cloning, somehow microsoft way of protecting abuse use or dupplicating coppies of the o.s bought a software for cloning but it wont work as well with direct cloning with usb. after several trials with diffrent ways, i made a boothtable usb drive, removed the installed original ssd and place it in usb enclosure and installed 2tb 970 evo plus nvme m2 in my laptop. then do the cloning. it works ! afte 18 hours of trying to figure out ways to clone :-) overall i give 5 star i love it !

I bought this to go with a Samsung 2TB 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 Internal SSD. Works great with my X299 Motherboard. I use it for video editing and it has 4 bays for future expansion.
