Customers are saying

Customers find value in the 970 EVO Plus 250GB SSD's impressive performance, ease of use, and significantly reduced boot times. Many appreciate its straightforward installation and the compact size, although some feel the price is high for the storage capacity. Positive feedback also highlights the reliable performance typical of Samsung SSDs. The drive's relatively cool operating temperature is another frequently cited advantage.

    I still don't know what happened to my laptop. It was brand new and suddenly wanted to die. I went over to GeekSquad and they told me to buy this, fixed it, and it back to normal again.

    Samsung gets their premium,but this is a fast and reliable drive to use as a boot drive in your build. The m.2 form factor is astoundingly efficient.

    It's a little expensive for just 250gb but it does the job and if you have a hard drive to pair it with then you're golden.

    Just built my first pc. I used this as my boot drive. I have an msi motherboard and turned Fast Boot on, and it takes around 10-15 seconds from the MSI screen to windows being fully ready to go. It might get faster if I mess with more settings.

    Had some trouble transferring system from larger hdd. Ended up restoring from image backup using Acronis. I now boot from Evo 970 plus and still have original hdd for storage. Using Samsung Magician was not satisfactory.

    This was installed as replacement in crashed laptop. Memory seems slightly larger, as it stores all recovered data with new software and isn’t any more full than last. Speed is same, which I have always been pleased with.

    Make sure your motherboard supports bootup for this and whatnot before you buy an ssd. I got it but my motherboard doesn’t support it as a boot drive but I use it for storage for now which is really fast

    Back then 250 GB was the only size I could afford. Six months later, I bought the 500 GB for the same money. It is a very good drive, though and I highly recommend it.

    This has got to be one of my best SSD purchases. Just built a mini PC and added this bad boy. It's so so so fast in terms of boot up and accessing large files, blew away my old 2.5" SSD. Love it!

    Best Buy was great in fixing my Dell Laptop that failed after only 2 years. Guess I should have bought the warranty from Dell. Did not buy from Best Buy bought directly Dell.

    Great ssd for storing your OS, despite the amount of space it has. Expected nothing less from Samsung. Would buy again but maybe a little more room?
