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.

    This drive performs great it even performs better than my 970 Pro SSD. Only issue is it will thermal throttle with large workloads so have adequate cooling or a heat sink on it.

    Just what I needed for my new build. And this drive is fast, very glad I caught it on sale here at Best Buy as well. Now my only regrets, wishing I got the 2TB instead lol. You won't be disappointed with this drive.

    Outstanding! Smoking fast hard drive. Don’t go back to the HDD, go with the Solid State Drive. They’ll out last the standard hard drive plus 3-4 times faster. Also Samsung is a Rockstar in the SSD hard drive. Get the best.

    Bought for an upgrade for my laptop. My original was only 126gb, and this was on a high end gaming laptop, so I had the Geek Squad install the 1tb Samsung Evo Plus. Best SSD. Very fast Read/write. Definitely a solid upgrade

    Speed is roughly the same as advertised. Only had it 2 weeks, so reliability is unknown, but all my previous Samsung SSDs are still operational (M.2 and SATA).

    First time I took apart ny own laptop to add more storage. It is very fast for transferring large files. Have not gotten any issue with it. So I can say it is pretty good so far.

    I use to buy Samsung Pro drives but those drives are great but also very expensive. This drive (EVO 970 Plus) is as fast as pro for about half of the price. This is my 4th EVO 970+ drive I have bought and all are working flawlessly.
