Asked 5 years ago by Wolf184.

• A:Answer Not sure, I just got this drive installed on a AW 17r5 and after setting it as a drive through disk management it has performed flawlessly.. I have heard that the Samsung software for cloning is great but didn’t use it, I ended up keeping my drive strictly for games and left the OS on the smaller SSD drive the AW came with

Q: QuestionI have an ACER ATC-120-UC22 desktop computer. Is this 970EVO Plus internal PCI Express3.0x4(NVMe) Solid State Drive compatible? Can I use any port or just a specific one?

Asked 5 years ago by ADI.

• A:Answer After taking a quick look at the Motherboard that comes with your ACER ATC-120-UC22 , I do not see an M.2 Slot for this device to be inserted, so I would say no to your question.

Q: QuestionWill this work on an MSI Z97-G45-GAMING motherboard? Thanks

Asked 5 years ago by Danny.

• A:Answer Your board should be a PCIe ver. 3. Your board does not have a M.2 slot, but you can put the 970 EVO into an M.2-PCIe adapter and mount it into any PCIe 3.0 x4/x16 slot. I'm not sure you will be able to boot from it in that configuration, unless the manufacturer as upgraded the bios to allow it to do so. If not, you will just have a super fast storage drive. It would be best to research or contact the manufacturer for that information.

Q: QuestionI was thinking of adding this to second slot of laptop as data drive. ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IV-XS76 is the laptop I was looking at. Will this drive work in that laptop?

Asked 5 years ago by Highrever777.

• A:Answer Yes this should work but I personally would make it my primary drive and use the stock micron for backup. This is much faster. There are cheaper options if the drive is just for extra space and not a primary.

Q: QuestionThis item will work with hp omen 15-dc0010nr? Samsung - 970 EVO Plus 1TB Internal PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology Model:MZ-V7S1T0BAMSKU:6324470

Asked 6 years ago by Gamer.

• A:Answer Yes, it will. I've got that exact item (the 970 EVO+ 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD) installed as the boot drive in the OMEN 15 (2018) dc-0010nr. It works, and installation was nearly painless. Do yourself a favor and buy an external NVMe enclosure with a USB3.1 interface. Drop the 970EVO+ into that, install Macrium Reflect Free on your PC, and clone your existing drive to the new drive while increasing the size of the bootable OS partition to whatever larger size you'll need (I set it to the maximum of 937GB while keeping the other three partitions from the original drive intact on the new one. Samsung Magician, included with the drive, is a furiously burning dumpster fire. Avoid it. It can't detect the new drive when it's installed in an external USB enclosure, and (of course) there's no second M.2 slot in the laptop to install the new drive, so Samsung Magician can't identify the new drive and can't clone your original drive to the 970EVO+. Macrium Reflect Free, on the other hand, is drive-agnostic. It just sees the storage and works with it regardless of its vendor or source (M.2 NVMe, SATA, USB3.x) I kept the original drive in the USB3.1 enclosure, so if something goes horribly wrong I can recover the original data.
