Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the 970 EVO 500GB SSD's impressive performance and remarkably fast boot times. Many appreciate its ease of installation and the significant storage increase it provides. While some users noted the drive can get warm under certain conditions, the positive feedback on speed and ease of use outweighs this concern for most. The price point is also frequently cited as a positive aspect.

    Great SSD drive from Samsung as always. Not hitting advertised speeds, but I will work a bit more towards seeing why before blaming the drive. Using with a Asus Maximus X Hero motherboard and a 8086K running at 5.1GHZ (4.9GHZ cache ratio). It is the latest and the greatest m.2 drive other than the 970 Pro. My benchmark results were around 2700MB/sec which is obviously still plenty fast. Would definitely recommend and was happy with the price I got it for from BestBuy.
