Great but not necessary
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great SSD, but not necessary. You won’t see huge performance gains compared to older gen NVME SSDs in gaming, but you may see improvement for editing work. If you are on budget and trying to set up a gaming pc, don’t need to spend extra money on this one unless you get it on sale. Otherwise, spend it on other important stuffs like better airflow case, cooler, etc.

Great NVME for the price
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great NVMe drive for the price, what wasn't entirely clear upfront is the corners that were cut to get to this attractive price/performance combo. The short answer is this drive has no dedicated dram on board, most Samsung NVMe drives have a dedicated dram chip that is used for buffering command queues, so in the situation where a drive is being asked to pull a bunch of small files all at once or write a bunch of small files all at once the dram helps to queue up these commands and ensure that things get done in as efficient of manner as possible. This drive lacks that dedicated dram, but while historically that has proved to be a detriment to performance Samsung has pulled a rabbit out of a hat here and actually implemented a system that works pretty darn well while utilizing system memory. So in extremely low RAM setups this drive may not perform as well, in most typical cases (8-16GB of system memory) this drive you can expect to perform as well if not slightly better than a 970 Evo NVMe (see picture for benchmark results, the generally slower of the two being my 970 Evo, and the 980 the other). That being said, I'm not sure I'd run this drive as a primary OS drive, or in some kind of home file server or game server situation, but it will do fine as a primary OS drive for most people while not necessarily providing optimal speed, but its definitely at home as a secondary drive to store videos/games/music/photos. If you're looking for a primary drive I'd probably still steer people towards either a 970 Evo (or better) or another drive with dedicated dram, but if you're looking to save a buck with minimal compromises or just need a secondary NVMe drive this will probably tick all of the boxes.

Rock Solid. But Worth the Premium?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used this NVMe for an HP laptop, worked great. I always have great luck with the Samsung SSD products. Are they worth the extra premium? Hard to tell, but I don't think most users will notice the difference going with a less expensive alternative like Sabrent, Crucial, or another. Always nice that Best Buy has these in stock for last minute repairs though.
