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.

    Yes it does cost more than other nvme's but the cost vs compatibility is something that you just go with. I put this into my Lenovo legion. I downloaded the migration tools from Samsung and cloned my original drive onto it. It's fast and reliable.

    Does not come with needed spacers and screws. Would have been nice to know that before buying. That wasn’t enough of a detractor to give it less than 5 stars. Installation was straight forward and easy enough (once the additional hardware arrived in the mail).

    Worked perfectly right out of the box. I installed in my bew build and my motherboard had no issues recognizing it in POST. It's a great upgrade for me, since I was running an older SSD with only 250gb.

    Samsung's EVO series of SSD hard drives are the best in the industry. I would not use any other brand except Samsung's. Bought this to upgrade my old Samsung 500GB NVME SSD to this. It works out great with no issues and it is FAST!

    This internal drive has made my audio engineering a lot easier. As I'm using Pro Tools and is better to have all the work ( program, wave, recoding, etc...) in the internal drive while working on it. This internal drive gives me 1TB of space which is now allowing me the option to do more recordings and have other non audio related programs and work also stored in my Lenovo Laptop, as everything is store in the internal drive and I even have a lot of free space to do more. I gave it only 4 stars because I did found it a bit expensive, if not probably would have give it a 5 stars.

    I was originally going to get a standard SSD but looked into this M.2 and gave it a try. I’ve been testing out it’s limits and it holds up really well and gives me so much room to play with. The direct connection to the MotherBoard is cool as well and saves physical space too.

    Very easy to install! I was replacing a previous m2 and what I did was I bought a usb m2 adaptor cheap. When I plugged the new one in I just cloned the old with macrium, turned off cpu and swapped booted right up!

    I haven't thought about it once since I bought it and that's the best thing you can say about an SSD. It's fast enough I don't notice things taking a long time. I do usually have to wait for other players' games to finish loading though. But nothing I buy can fix that!

    Keeps running! Fast, reliable and cool. It's a Samsung. LOL! Just buy it. I use it for my development environment in my workstation along 4 more NVMe drives. Speed is insane! Life expectancy will probably outlive my workstation.

    Great M.2 but wish I held off on purchasing it (since the 4.0 released). When I was using it, it definitely got the job done and never had any issues with the product. It does run a bit hot, so make sure you have sufficient cooling.

    This is a stellar SSD. I bought two 1 TB sticks for a primary and backup drive. They turned my 3 year old laptop into a super beast. Blazing fast read and write speeds compared to the original SSD.
