Customers are saying

Customers recognize the 970 EVO Plus 1TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe as a high-performance drive that's easy to install and use. Positive feedback frequently highlights its speed, ample storage capacity, and reasonable price. While some users noted that the drive may generate a bit more heat without a heatsink, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive.

    Documentation should be better

    I bought this to replace a failing NVMe Windows 10 system drive. (I used Acronis software and a USB enclosure to clone the original drive). As a replacement drive, it seems to be working fine, but I have a few gripes about the documentation. First, Samsung's website mentions downloading drivers and software, but the included documentation really doesn't talk about that. It just tells you to refer to your PC's instructions for installation. Attempting to install the Samsung driver unceremoniously failed, and you cannot install the Samsung utility software without their driver. After digging around support websites, it appears that it probably failed because I have RAID enabled in my BIOS. Although I'm not currently using RAID on this PC, I have used it on other machines and like to have it as an option. This strikes me as kind of a silly limitation. And frankly, the drive seems to be working just fine with Microsoft's driver, so I'm not really clear what big advantage there would be to using Samsung's driver and utility. Finally, the package does not say it is compatible with Windows 11, which I will be upgrading to someday. Again from digging around support websites, it appears that the Samsung driver will run under Windows 11, but will not support some of the game performance features of Windows 11. In my opinion, this is one more reason to stick with the Microsoft driver. And as a side note: the serial number on the side of the box was missing a letter at the end, so I couldn't register the product with Samsung without pulling the drive out of the PC I'd just installed it in to get the last character of the S/N. Another needless oversight in my opinion.

    I'm using this SSD on a PCIe adapter card because my older Z97 motherboard doesn't support x4. The system is a little quicker, but not much of a gain over the 850 EVO it replaced. I have only really noticed deletion is quicker. I usually transfer files to external drives so I don't benefit from the speed boost much. I like to have the fastest, greatest thing so it was worth the upgrade for me.
