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.

    Upgraded an ASUS laptop, model MJ401-TA, working fine after almost a year. It feels a little faster than the original drive it replaced.

    I purchased two of these for pretty cheap. I installed one in my Alienware Laptop, and one in my custom desktop. Now my boot time is only a few seconds for each. Awesome products.

    Not much to say. It’s a drive. Works good and hasn’t died yet. I got it because I didn’t want Windows on the same drive as Linux
