This is a really reliable and quick drive that I would buy multiples of whenever I need more

One of my drives went bad so perfect excuse to replace with something a little different. Coming from a traditional SSD so speed is improved but not hugely so, if you’re coming from a regular hard drive it’ll be a huge improvement. Amazingly speedy startup with this set as the boot drive. Power off to desktop in 5 seconds in Windows 10. Noticed some improved load times in games and when exporting batches of photos from editing software. Installation is a little different (but still simple) so good to look up a video if you’re unfamiliar, and make sure you have the correct port/right amount of space available. Samsung has some guides/software on migrating data and changing your boot drive online to make shuffling stuff around. Overall great value especially if you snag it on sale.

Huge speed increase over the hard drive that was in the computer before. Easy installation, there was not a screw included however so hope your motherboard comes with one.

I bought this SSD as my boot drive for my new gaming PC, and it works wonders! Incredibly fast boot times and write speeds! I highly, highly recommend this as a boot drive for anyone PC building.

These drives are top tier. Have never had an issue with any of them and they always deliver the speed I’d expect.

Wanted to upgrade a laptop to a larger drive. The swap went flawless and the results have been great. Larger drive and it feels like the laptop is booting and running faster than before.

Perfect M.2 SSD! the value for 1tb is great. samsung is a great brand and very reliable. I dont see whats not to like about this!

Used for storage not windows, works well and all my games load up really quickly for the price you get this nvme at.

A good SSD if you're on a budget. The speeds are decent and has enough storage for several large games.

It's fast and has a large capacity. Samsung has a history of making good NVMe SSDs and this one continues that trend. Just be aware that it may run hot so be sure to have good cooling or ventilation in your system.

Great price for item and it works really good for the price I suggest to everyone to get it because of how amazing it is

Great value for a great ssd, runs really well and has lots of storage, very good

Fast and reliable. I’ve been using this SSD for a year and there have been no dips in performance and no failures either.

Decided to grab one when they went on sale, and I never looked back. The speed is insane, and easier than I thought to install.

Got it on sale Amazing fast performance, using it as the boot drive and cannot be any happier. 1TB for boot drive is more than enough, specially with such speeds. It would be nice if screws were included with it too

One of the fastest of the now older Gen3 NVMe SSDs. I bought it as a place holder until the Gen4s hit the market. Now it sits in my second m.2 slot as a gaming drive. Love the performance and the price I paid for it.

I never owned a NVMe drive before but when I built my new machine it was a must have. Holy cow is this thing fast! I thought a standard SSD drive was fast, this, man. It's like saying, "What boot up time?"

Samsung evo Plus drives are the most reliable I have ever owned. I now have three of these in my PC and they are simply blazing fast. I won’t ever go back to SATA SSDs ever again, now that the price of these drives has finally come down.

All I can say is wow! I returned an ADATA XPG SX8200 PRO 500GB for this one and am so glad I did. All PCIE NVME drives are not created equal and benchmark's don't mean anything because they are synthetic and the drives are built to show the "best" performance on the benchmarks, which can be a far cry from how they actually perform. First the XPG SX8200 Pro website only gives you the best specs from the 1TB drive and it's nearly impossible to find the slower performance information of the 512GB and 256GB drive on their website (should be a big hint to performance since they don't easily publish it, or list the smaller drive specs on the main page). Second, the bench marks were pretty close on cyrstal diskmark, but when I was actually testing 9GB file copies to and from the XPG, it was often below 600MB/s (even as low as 150MB/s steadily). It did perform better at times, but it was so spotty and nowhere near the benchmarks on a regular basis, I either got a dud or it's just not as good as the specs are in real world performance. Yeah, it was about $30 cheaper than the the new Samsung EVO PLUS 970, but in the end, the price difference was waaaaay overshadowed by the real world performance. So, when I got the 500GB Samsung EVO PLUS 970, I popped it in the same slot that the ADATA was just in and not only did it surpass the specs of the CrystalDisk Mark bench, but the real world file copies (using the same file as before), were steadily around 2000MB/s. Not as fast as the benchmark, but leaps and bounds better than the ADATA and the other PCIE NVME drives I've had the ability to test with. Also, those speeds stayed constant for the entire file copy, where most other drives fluctuate up and down. I know that even larger file copies will eventually slow down when the cache runs out, but that's the same for all PCIe NVME drives that are using TLC (or anything other than MLC flash). And, Samsung is upfront with not just the benchmark read/write performance of the drives when using TurboBoost with the cache, but also the performance speeds you can expect when the cache runs out. No other manufacturer is showing that and that shows Samsung's confidence int their drives. This drive blew me away, so much, I just ordered another one. I honestly don't think other "similar" drives are even in the ballpark on performance (The WD N750 might be the closest, but it's still not on the level of this drive in REAL-WORLD performance for file copies). If you're considering saving a few bucks on a cheaper PCIe NVME drive, I'd highly suggest you do your own large file copies and see if your "cheaper" drive really handles how it says it will based off of the superficial benchmark tests. Otherwise, save yourself the disappointment and just get the Samsung EVO PLUS to begin with and you'll be happy that you did.

This is a great SSD with a ton of storage. I sued this thing for my Steam drive and it's filled with a ton of games. They load in a split second and I love it. If you want a ton of space that's super fast get this thing now.
