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.
