    Great product. I should've bought the 1tb version since I've used all the space for my Steam games. Load times are fast. I enjoy my purchase very much. A+++++

    These are super fast data transfer hard drives and although it’s only 500gb it’s still a beast.

    I was really disappointed in this product on their website it says its compatible with Mac however that is only if you are using boot camp to boot into windows or Linux not in mac natively I mean why would a hardware company exclude an OS in 2020. However if your on windows enjoy it.

      Protocol:

      The 970 EVO Plus Series SSDs are compatible with Mac OSX. However, on Macs, TRIM is only supported for Apple's OEM SSDs and is not supported for Samsung's (or any other manufacturers') aftermarket SSDs. Apple has placed a feature - known as kext signing - onto their OS so as to not allow TRIM to run on 3rd party SSD's. This is not a Samsung SSD issue, but rather Apple limiting the use of 3rd party SSD's on their products.

      Should you ever have questions or need assistance using this product, please contact Samsung Customer Support.

    It was easy to install, don’t take a pro to do it yourself. Just watch a YouTube video. The best part is Samsung migration, it make cloning your old drive super simple.
