    I bought this for mostly FPS Games and little develop and editing also the speed compared to the regular SSD drives is comparable to the old model being a Ford Focus and the new NVME being the GTR

    I like that this technology is available to fit on the motherboard and leaves me to have another SSD in a drive bay. I use this to hold my core operating system and is extremely fast.

    What can you say about Samsung NVMe drives! The best in the industry,seamless install and performance that was unheard of in this price range just a few years ago. I'm getting another soon!

    This NVMe drive is a tremendous speed improvement over the mechanical drive that was in my laptop! Highly recommended. (But get the newer EVO Plus version.)

    This thing makes my computer fly. It even improved my online gaming, since previously during action scenes I would get drop in frame rate. My gaming is now butter smooth. Recommended.

    I installed the 970EVO on an Alienware R7 that had Intel Octane and the difference in disk performance is substantially better. Samsung tools made the transfer of my OS straightforward.

    Bought this as an upgrade for my 1TB HDD in my laptop. Left the old HDD in and cloned my drive and I can't believe how fast my computer boots now using the SSD. It's night and day.

    Plugged into my motherboard and installed Windows 10 without hassle. No drivers needed. Very fast. I cannot speak to durability, however. I've only had this device for a week.

    This SSD has a clear performance benefit over SATA. I replaced an aging Crucial M500 in my 5 year old Ivy Bridge Core i5 system, and was amazed at the response time improvement.

    The 970 EVO only costs a little more than other SSDs in this class, but it is faster than most (or all), and it has a reputation for good quality.
