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.

    Upgraded my 2015 MacBook pro from 128gb to 500gb by cloning. Had an IFIXIT tool kit and ordered a Sintech adaptor from Amazon. Used my Samsung T5 external SSD to clone existing OS, then clone to the 500gb ssd M.2. Increased Read/Write speeds.

    I purchased an external enclosure and I use this as an external drive. Its the fastest thing I have ever used. I use it to transfer 4 gigabyte files to my pc. It takes about 5 seconds. Super fast compared to all my other external storage devices.

    small form factor and really fast speeds, just wish the price would come down a little more and 500gb goes kinda quick.

    This SSD is so fast. Windows 10 boots up in no time and the number of IOPS and MB/Second is just great. Nice to have a so called hard drive so fast. It's at least 5 times as fast as a 2.5" SSD. Easy to install and works great!

    Went to Best Buy with my laptop to get another hard drive. The gentleman offered to order me one with more memory and he showed me several options. Chose this one and it’s worked great so far. Everything that I neeeded.

    This is the first time I have used one of these and I love it. The price is a little steep for me so I had to go with 500gb. Maybe in the future I will have a 1tb.

    Start up times on games are now decreased. I would definitely recommend to others. Especially if you are considering single-player games that are open world. (Or online multiplayer based MMOs)

  • Very Fast M.2 SSD

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a Games only SSD as it only has a half TB of space, games were installed on a WD Black HHD and played very nice on a Win 7 64bit PC, but upgraded to a new Win 10 64bit PC. Now the same games load faster, and feel more responsive while gaming and my scores have improved a lot in game play action. Also, it is not a boot drive, just a extra super fast drive for gaming. :-)

    works really well. I probably should have gotten the 1 TB instead of the 500 GB but it works nicely and fits really well.

    This is ideal for a laptop. If a gamer, then I would suggest the 1TB but for power users that do not have a myriad of games, then 500GB is ideal for the laptop.
