Samsung 970 Evo Plus Vs 980

I have a Samsung 1tb 970 EVO Plus as a boot drive, OS and general purpose applications. I also have a Samsung 500gb 980 nvme as a games drive, but was quickly running out of diskspace. I decided to buy another Samsung 1tb 970 EVO Plus. It was an easy swap on the motherboard, but the performance is definitely a step up from the 980. All my games load just that much quicker than it did before. I know the specs are almost identical, but the 970 EVO Plus is definitely faster. I think pricewise, I paid the same for the older, better performing and larger capacity Samsung 970 EVO Plus as I did for the lower capacity and less performing Samsung 980 (which my wife got as an upgrade from a mechanical drive :-) ) Win, win. Highly recommended.

This 970 EVO Plus model has the read/write speed, powerful multicore controller chip, the DRAM cache, and the TLC NAND you want for endurance. You have to step up to the 980 EVO Pro to have better specs. If you are asking yourself why this model is more expensive that the newer 980 EVO, it is because you only get the old features of the 970 EVO on the 980 EVO Pro.

I got both this one and the 970 EVO PLUS in my new gaming PC. The 980 PRO really flies as its transfer speed is almost twice faster than the 970 EVO Plus. Recommended.

Using the Samsung 1TB 970 EVO Plus in my new NUC11. Works great.

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!

Installed in desktop system along with an older Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 2TB, since the motherboard has two M.2 slots. A third Samsung SSD is a 4TB SATA type, and there are two Intel SSDs in PCIe slots. PCIe 3.0 bus in use, since this is an older platform.

At first, I approached the Samsung 2TB 970 EVO Plus NVMe M2. Internal SSD with caution, never before had I encountered, such an entity, and behold, there were two of them. After installing the SSDs into My NAS I made sure to take careful note of any changes to the environment. To this date there have been no: - Weather Changes - Dragon Sightings - Volcano Eruptions - Major Earthquakes - Alien Invasions - Mass Hysteria Events - Avenger Level Threats While I have observed this new entity in my life for a short period of time, I don't believe that I can ever form a bond of trust with it, as it is simply too powerful; it has no need for me, I am only human. Real Review: Its a disk. It performs to Spec. 5 Stars.

Purchased this to replace a Samsung 970 Evo Plus due to the fact I was running out of space. This is being used in an ASUS Strix Arion external enclosure I use for backups. I did not expect to see any speed increase but I was wrong. It may not be huge, but I went from approx. 1.3GB/Sec to almost 2GB/sec transfer speed. Plus, this NVMe runs MUCH cooler than the 970. Overall a great drive and a great price from B&H Photo. Very fast shipping too.
