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. The small size is also mentioned, with some seeing it as an advantage.

    I recently purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad x1 Carbon 6th Generation with the lowest storage capacity with the intention of upgrading. I chose this ssd and very happy I did! Easy to install and Best Buy made it easy to purchase online and deliver right to my door. The money I saved on upgrading myself allowed me to order my Thinkpad with a faster processor.

    It's hard to provide a review of the performance of this drive as of yet. it was purchased to replace a smaller capacity drive, but I've yet to find an enclosure that will both mount the drive properly and be recognized by my hardware / OS. I've been able to get my Mac to read it, and an older HP Z800 workstation, but the HP Spectre 360 simply won't recognize the enclosure I purchased so I don't have a way to provide feedback at this time. What I can share is that the drive it is meant to replace is a Samsung 960 EVO which has performed exceptionally for the past 4 years. There is no reason for me to think the next generation 970 drives would be anything other than as reliable and faster in performance.

    Took my laptop for a check up and the Geek recommended a solid state drive to revitalize my old machine. The performance is astounding! Faster than I even expected.

    With the sizes of games spiking so high within the last 2 years, it makes the boot drive minimum 1 TB. You can get another HHD for mass storage, but if you want to take full advantage of the speed you're paying for its best to invest a full TB and just delete games as you need the space. Your load times and input lag will thank you.

    I’ve always found Samsung SSDs to be my go-to when building a PC. Speeds are fantastic and I have never encountered an issue with any of the drives failing in the 10 or so computers I’ve built.

    Got this to hop on the NVME SSD hype train, and I am glad I went with Samsung. They make it easy to transfer OS boot drive from existing SSD with their transfer tool with no additional steps. Worked like a charm and is blazing fast for large file transfer. Got it on sale, although MSRP is a little steep, sale price made it worth.

    Solid performance and top-notch quality. Samsung always provides storage that I can trust my systems to run on. Four of these on a pci-e bifurcation card raided provide an INSANE throughput.

    Bought a new computer with a ssd that was faulty, read/write speeds of 90/s when it was supposed to be 10 times that! Long story short, after reading many reviews and weighing my options, I went with the 970 EVO plus.... Not only is speed amazing, it was a breeze to transfer everything over to the new ssd with the software provided by Samsung.

    Best drive as far as PCIE gen 3 goes. Great drive, really fast speeds as described. Moving games or large videos is no longer a time consuming task. Samsung software such as Magician and Data Migration makes moving data from an older/slower drive very easy. Another great Samsung storage product!

    I started using Samsung drives and memory about two years ago and never looked back. The price is reasonable and the quality and speed is top notch. I would definitely recommend it.
