    Samsung SSD not so reliable.

    It's a good, fast solid state drive. Unfortunately, the previous one failed after a couple of years. Reports are that they run hot. I can verify that is true. The external test case I put the old one in to recover some files got too hot to touch very fast. I hope the new one works better. I was in a hurry or I would have purchased something different this time. This was the top rated drive when I purchased the original one. Samsung appears to have made a mistake with the design.

      Richard:

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD. Samsung NVMe SSDs maintain optimal performance thanks to Samsung’s advanced design and manufacturing capabilities coupled with an integrated, heat dissipating thermal label. In rare instances of extreme workloads (transfer of several hundreds of GB), performance may be throttled through Samsung’s dynamic thermal throttling algorithm to protect the SSDs integrity.

      Should you need any assistance once you receive your new SSD, please know we are always here to help.
