    Super Fast! I took off one star because even though I had a screw for this, it should come with one. I use this for Photography, Blender, and unity and it helps greatly.

    Best nvme m.2 that money can buy. Looking forward to the pricing coming down though, and for larger storage sizes.

    I went from having an HDD on my old PC, to M.2 SSD on my new build. The speeds are great and very noticeable, specially on startup and video game loading screens. The price is still a bit high, but it’s definitely worth it to give your PC some quick loading.

    Bought this to add enough memory to build and maintain the programming for an FM radio station. Had it installed by a professional in the new laptop and it is working great.

    I only got 1.8tb on mine but thats they way it goes I guess. It does run very fast and pretty hot too, make sure you've got a fan blowing right over it.

    Replaced my smaller drive and the Samsung software made it easy to clone my old drive. Seems fast for my computer and I like that it is rated more durable than the other drives in this price range. Been working great the last few months.

    Works as intended with not issues thus far. Got it for a great deal in with a massive $100+ off discount during Best Buy sale event. This was bought as a Christmas gift to upgrade a pre-built PC for a family member. At regular price it may be a bit much.

    I have a 980 pro and can’t tell the difference day to day between the two drives, even though the pro is on PCIe 4.0. This is probably the sweet spot in price versus performance. I’ve owned several Samsung SSDs and they have never let me down.

    I believe Samsung is the benchmark for quality and speed in SSDs. There are other brands out there comparable, but if you ask gamers and those who know, they'll usually tell you Samsung is the way to go if you're replacing a drive or building a system.

    This black friday, I upgraded to a NVMe Gen 3 Samsung 2TB. It is replacing my 2TB Hard Drive Disk. NVMe speed are years beyond the hard drives. I am using this to put my video games on my PC. So far, no issues.

    Purchased this for my HP Omen 30L since the motherboard doesn’t support gen 4 nmve. Worked great, ended up putting it in an Alienware R12 instead and still works great. Still a very fast drive when compared to the lower end gen 4 ssd. Samsung for the win

    Oh the joy of quick response times and file operations that fly. Next stop is PCI 4x4 and use the one I've got now as a portable, as the 980 is about twice as fast. The 970 kicks 3500mbps read times consistently on my system. (32gb 3200mhz RAM, i5, ASUS)

    I brought this to replace a smaller drive. Because I use cloud drives (one drive, drop box) a lot and work without internet some times I need all of my cloud drives in my laptop. This did the trick without compromising performance.
