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.

    Used on new Ryzen 3200 build, MSI B450 Pro motherboard, 16GB RAM, 450 Watt Corsair power supply. Running Lubuntu on it.. no mechanical hard disks, Lubuntu is on this Samsung 970 M.2 NVMe SSD. The combination is amazingly fast. I have Samsung M.@ NVMe drives in two Windows PCs as well.. I'll never go back to mechanical hard disks again. Also, this drive is much faster than a SATA SSD. Ensure that your system's motherboard supports M.2 PCIe NVMe drives. Check out YouTube for help if you've never installed one before.

    Not much to really say about this M.2 memory other then its very fast yet very expensive. Samsung Evo memory rarely, if eve, goes on sale, so what you pay is pretty much retail pricing no matter where its purchased. Samsung Evo memory is one of the top of the line memory brands when it comes to storage memory so you are getting what you pay for.

    It's just the right size for a Windows 10 install and a few programs. It goes from bios screen to launching a program within seconds.

    Have used Samsung SSDs with confidence for years. The 970 EVO Plus keeps the faith as a startup drive in a PC upgraded new motherboard using a previous case. PC boots in less than 10 seconds. Every program seems to load faster which is pleasing. Just wish Samsung provided NVMe screw(s) for the motherboard with the product as could not find a NVMe with the motherboard packaged accessories. Recommended buy as a main OS drive.

    Ooooh, I’ve got a second gen m2 slot on my new mb and this is compatible! Sooo fast! Don’t forget to move windows swap file if you run your os on an ssd to a spin platter drive though. Ssd memory is consumable and if you don’t have a lot of ram windows will eat them up. I run a second multiple tb drive for the swap file and any other files I will be using other than read only. Swap file controls are on the advanced tab of the system properties.

    Used this for my boot drive in my newly built PC and let me tell you, this thing is FAST. I don’t even have to wait for Windows to boot up and virtually the same can be said for other games/programs that I currently have stored on it. Definitely worth the buy. If I had the money, I would have gone with the 1TB version!

    250 doesn’t seem like a lot but for the first m.2 it’s recommend to ONLY put the windows operating system on it and nothing else So it’s plenty for the operating system. Typically motherboards will have two m.2 so you can use the second slot for storage. Just watch Linus or jays two cents on YouTube for recommendations but at the end of the day it’s your choice of course.
