    Held me over until I got the 1TB. These things are fast and easy to use. They have software to benchmark and test their health. They also sync up easily with the software.

    Got this to upgrade the drive that was in my laptop. I originally bought a western digital I had to return it because of all the crashes I was having with it. Decided to go with a Samsung because that was what was in the laptop originally. For the price it’s a really nice option, quick enough and with enough storage for me. Happy with my purchase.

    Once you go NVME you'll never go back.

    As the title says, once you get your hands on an NVME drive you'll never back to a sata or ssd. Drive is fast and the read/writes speeds are right on the money. I've owned several Samsung SSD's and while they're fast I wanted to free up my new pc build from cables so I chose this. Granted I have only owned this for less than 2 weeks but Samsung's are quality drives so it should last until it's TBW comes around but by then I will have upgraded to something with a higher TBW. Windows 10 fresh install took a total 5 mins and 45 seconds vs 45 mins plus with a sata drive. I'll never go back to an old mechanical drive again.

    This is my first introduction to SSD technology - I purchased a new computer and it had a 128 SSD and a 1 TB hard drive, I assumed that the SSD would only be needed for the operating system - I was wrong!!! The SSD was half used and I was not near done loading user programs so I knew that I needed a larger C drive. I purchased the 500 GB SSD to be my C drive. Best Buy tried to clone the 128 onto the 500 SSD but had no luck. I had to reload the machine again. I tried to load my anti-virus and the machine crashed again. I took it back to BB and they tookk it back to Factory new and I reloaded everything again. Everything has been great since,

    Easily installed this memory board. Had to perform one step to get the laptop to recognize it. I can't remember what it was but it is easily found via a Google search. Once the laptop recognized it the board has worked flawlessly. I have a 1 TB SSD as my main drive and this 500 GB board/drive. This is my main "work" storage. All of my photo work is done on files reside on this board. Also, having two SSD drives/boards greatly reduces the heat, amount of time the fan runs and the startup and loading of files into apps like Lightroom, Photoshop, Luminar etc.

    Motherboard plays with it bad time, making it hard to set as man boot drive. It kept trying to set as secondary boot drive until I remove the other ssd. Great speed Great quality Does not come with screw for installation, ‘crucial’ gives you two screws. You better take good care the ones that came with your MOBO otherwise you will struggle Again maybe you will be over paying

    I was coming from using a standard HDD to boot Windows 10. I was used to it taking upwards of >30 seconds to boot. After installing the card and installing the OS to it, MY GOD!! From boot to menu LITERALLY takes 3-4 SECONDS! I mean this is incredible! Also I've noticed installing games from the ssd has a very real effect on games. I've seen my games increase 5-10 fps since i installed it. Games I could not get to run at 60 fps stable now do so with no problem. Its insane and has re-dedicated me to pc gaming in general. Arkham Knight, a game which brutalized a a SATA HDD in terms of loading in textures and the game data has been tamed by a NVMe.

    I am a long time PC veteran, and been working with computers since the late 80's. I was building, tweaking, overclocking and modding computers a long time. I initially had my doubts on this Samsung 970 EVO Plus, but pulled the trigger anyways. My WD Black m.2 and others where just fast enough for me, gaming and work, but when I put this M.2 in my AMD3, 550m Board, loaded Windows 10 pro, away we went. Let me tell you, for the price point, this is well worth it. Noticeably quicker response times than previous 3rd gen, and even most 4gen modules. I would buy it again, no problem.

    I first picked this up to use in a 12yo gaming system with an abit ix38gt with a pci e 4x adapter it wouldn't work in the 4x slot but great in 1 of the x16 slots and even tho it wasn't running at full speed due to mobo limitations it was still so much faster than the sata ssd drive I already had in so I buy the bullet and upgraded everything and the speed of this drive at its full potential is insane it took my old system and made it fast this new one just blew me away my new board has dual mvne m.2 slots so I grabbed a 2nd and removed my regular 1tb hdd and the sata ssd going on my daughter's pc I'm just using 2 of these it really is awesome
