Samsung 970 Pro In Laptop Heat

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!

This works great. I used it to clone the ssd in my laptop to a Samsung 970 and it worked perfectly. I used the Samsung migration and no problems. I am using an ACER aspire 515-43-r19l and it worked great. Don't know how it works with apple products.

Replaced my 500GB Samsung 970 Pro with this 1TB Samsung 980 Pro. Using Samsung's Magician software, I was able to quickly and easily clone my C: drive (boot drive) without any issue whatsoever. I have been using Samsung M.2 drives for many years. Just an all around excellent product and installion process. I highly recommend.

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.

I placed 4X2Tb Samsung 970 Pro NVME Ssd's in this thing. It rocks at over 2100Mbps (RAID 0). Some say the fan is noisy. Not my sample, it is quiet and the unit never feels hot. I had ordered a silent fan for it based on the reviews that said was noisy. Maybe OWC changed the fans they were using?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the newest and fastest NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) M.2 drive from Samsung.  As a happy owner of Samsung's 970 NVMe series, I was doubtful that Samsung could deliver anything better than what I already had, but boy was I wrong!  The Samsung 980 Pro doubles the sequential read and write speeds of the Samsung 970 generation even at current Intel PCIe 3.0 settings.  As the next CPU's from Intel support PCIe 4.0 this drive is already future-proofed to deliver even faster speeds!   Upgrading to the Samsung 980 Pro will save you an incredible amount of time.  Compared with working from a hard drive, using this NVMe drive you will experience near-instant boot times, game and software loading times, as well as fast file opening.  Clone your existing drive in one step with Samsung's free software, and keep your drive healthy and up to date with Samsung Magician software which is built-in.  This drive runs cool and absolutely silent without any moving parts.  It is millimeters thin and compatible with both desktops and even laptops that support its M.2 2280 form factor. The only regret I have would be getting the even larger 1TB size as you'll want to put as many of your frequently used games and programs on this drive to make them run as fast as possible!  500 GB is enough to use as a system drive, I would probably say that the 250 GB size is a little too small these days to be practical.  With a 5-year warranty and a reputation to stand behind quality products, I have full confidence also in the reliability of the Samsung 980 Pro over time.

I feared that this unit, having the upgraded controller by Samsung, was going to generate more heat than would be recommended for a laptop, but after setting up Linux and adding all kinds of applications to my laptop the heat problem has not been such.

This is now the third Samsung 850 PRO SSD that I have purchased. First my laptop (7 year old MacBook Pro) now flies. Then the 3 year old Mac Mini boots in 40 seconds! I am now transferring the hard drive contents from my wife's 5 year old iMac and I expect fantastic results. Given the 10 year warrantee from Samsung I may never have to buy another! I have gotten transfer rates approaching 7 GB / Minute! JR

very good samsung ssd 500GB 970 EVO Plus
