    Pc went from Xbox 360 speeds to PS5 speeds. East to install. Easy to setup. Make sure you have your tiny screw in your Mobo box as this doesn’t come with one.

    The Samsung EVO + is my go-to M.2 choice for PCIe 3.0. I use this one for the OS and programs and usually a 1 or 2 TB for storage drives. Noticable faster than 2.5" SSD's which is great for picture and video editing.

    Same SSD with different controller

    I purchased this ssd to see if the controller was the old phoenix controller or if it was the new controller. I found out they had the newer controller and returned the ssd as I wanted the old configuration. Nothing is technically wrong with the newer controller as it’s the same from the 980 ssd however the cache operates differently on the new controller.

    This SSD drive replaced an unexpected failure of the drive in my wife's primary computer. There have been no issues of concern with the new drive. The failure of the drive it replaced has put us on notice to be more diligent at having backup for files we wish to save. Even though there are no moving parts in an SSD doesn't mean it can't fail, though generally they have a lower rate of failure and last longer in my understanding.

    I've been buying Samsung SSDs and NVMes for work for years now and never once had an issue. I love the included software to migrate and the app for health... nice touch. My only wish is for a samsung 4.0.

    The incredibly fast read/write speeds of this Samsung EVO 500gb PCI SSD synchronize perfectly with the new CPU, motherboard and Vengeance Ram. Noticeable improvement in gaming performance!
