    So far, so good. Easy to install. Windows 10 saw it as not formatted, HD, in Device Manager. Very fast! Time will tell :)

    Fastest SSD I've ever used. Would recommend using some type of heat shield, it gets kind of hot.

    I have used many of these device for servers as 500GB is plenty for a boot drive and they are very comparable to the PRO version. I had never has to replace one yet. I use the 1TB version for my personal workstations boot drives and the 2TB version for data storage.

    If you’re looking for a fast and high quality NVMe drive, you’re looking at one. My computer is just shy of being able to utilize Gen 4 NVMe, so this Gen 3 one gets the job done. These have been very reliable for me, however I’d recommend getting a heatsink if your motherboard doesn’t have one, these drives tend to run hot.

    I needed to upgrade the SSD in my laptop. For me there was never going to be an option other than the Samsung 970 Evo. These things are quick and reliable. Plus I'd seen the benefits of having installed these into two desktop systems over the past year. The price to performance is definitely worth it. I'll mention here as I always do, make sure your system has an NVMe M.2 slot. It will work flawlessly in a SATA M.2, but at SATA speeds, which negates the reason you'd pay the slight premium for this drive.
