    This NVMe SSD is lighting fast. I just recently decided to take the dive and build my own pc and the loading times are night and day. This will not disappoint you, plus samsung usually makes quality products.

    The speed is fantastic. It was tricky to set it up for full speed on my Asus Rog Strix motherboard but once you google it and setup the right settings it will work as expected.

    One of the best SSDs NVMe on the market. I think this is a good choice since the 1TB Is double the price. So it is not a huge advantage to buy the 1TB as your first ssd (only if you that u gonna use a lot of memory)

    The Samsung - 970 EVO Plus 500GB Internal PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology is hands down the best NVMe SSD out there. If you can afford more space get it. It's super fast for gaming!

    Does the job! I was running out of space on my laptop and needed SSD. I have another slot for an internal SSD so I opted for one and this was one that was readily available at my best buy.

    Samsung really makes it easy to upgrade when you use their Migration tool. Connect the SSD as an external drive and launch the tool.

    Upgraded with this drive from a regular 970 EVO and confirmed that it is as advertised - getting over 3200 mb/s reads and over 3000 mb/s writes in my XPS 9570 - not bad for a laptop.

    I bought this for my gaming set up. First gaming set up. I love the fact that it’s a lot better for cable management. Much faster that ssd. But you can’t really tell the difference because they both boot fast.
