    This ssd is very fast, About 3200 write, 2700 read. But it runs very hot 50c plus. I actually had to attach a heatsink to it, so my 970 wont bake. Overall its good. But its not the best value. A Sabrent Rocket is a much better value and also has a 5 yea warranty. Overall this ssd is good but the heat is annoying.

      VacMaster1991:

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD. I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing heat issues with your SSD. The operating temperatures for this SSD range from 0°C - 70°C. Samsung NVMe SSDs rarely require a heat sink, yet maintain optimal performance thanks to Samsung’s advanced design and manufacturing capabilities coupled with an integrated, heat dissipating thermal label. In rare instances of extreme workloads (transfer of several hundreds of GB), performance may be throttled through Samsung’s dynamic thermal throttling algorithm to protect the SSDs integrity.

      Please be aware, however, that an external heat source such as a high-powered graphics card, or CPU placed in close proximity to a Samsung NVMe SSD, can adversely affect airflow around a Samsung NVMe SSD which may lead to performance degradation. Therefore, please ensure there is appropriate airflow around your Samsung NVMe SSD.

      To better address your heat concerns, please contact Samsung Customer Support and a representative will gladly help you.

    Fast. Relatively easy to install. My motherboard included a heatsink but it didn't seem to align with the mounting screw so I left it off.
