    This NVMe SSD is state of the art for a reasonable budget computer. Very fast and reliable! Easy to install for everyone who has enough knowledge to install computer parts. I use two of those in my computer and they exceed my everyday needs including advanced gaming.

    Another solid and great product from Samsung. You can never go wrong buying their storage drives. Performance matches what they claim. Another great thing about this product is you can use it in a laptop or desktop and it will not cause you any problems. I use this type of drive for Windows and Linux. I say all of this from the perspective of an IT person. I have tried many drives. I always come back to Samsung. (I also like Crucial but WD is spotty. Some WD products are okay and some are not good.)

    GEN 4 NVME Speeds are great

    If NVME’s PCIE Gen 3 are fast as is… The speed on the Gen 4’s are just faster. You probably won’t realistically notice the difference like you do from HDD to SSD but it is just that small top off on performance. I got this for gaming and using with Ray Tracing games, from the research i have done that is where you will notice a performance difference. I am sure this helps with Video Editors as well. Think High Intensity performance boosts IF you are getting just for an OS then you are probably overdoing it.

    Use this my OS drive. Loading windows was fast and ease. I installed windows in a matter of minutes compared to a spinning disk that would take hours. I have two one for the os and the other for games and it makes the world of difference

    I have both the 990Pro and 980Pro. The 990Pro walks all over this, however, with the sale price that I bought the 980Pro I just could not pass up. Performs great and stays cool. If you don't do large data transfers on a daily basis, save yourself money and get this 980Pro. If you do a lot of data transfers then it may be worth getting the 990Pro (assuming you have Gen 4 PCIe)

    Used this ssd for a year until the 990 pro came out. It worked great and had exceptionally fast speeds even on a little pavilion laptop when gaming. I was very happy with this ssd's performance, however it did run a little hotter than the 990 pro does.

    Great value and a worthwhile upgrade from my crucial mx500 sata ssd. Performance has been great, and it has had no issues with my medium workload. It being on sale was also a big selling point for my purchase.

    This was a massive upgrade for my PC, games felt so much smoother and faster when adding it to my pc. Super easily to install too if you know what you're doing! Not to also mention the person in the store who suggested I pick this one up instead of a cheaper option was super kind and helped me out. Thank you!

    It's pricey, but runs cool. For day to day use, there isn't a huge difference over a 970 evo +, but the system feels smoother. Some of my work moves a lot faster thanks to this drive. Less breaks, but I am my own boss, so it means working a little less, or picking up more work. Exceeds stated speeds in both writes and reads. Picked up a second in case the PS5 uses one. There will be a mad rush on these Gen 4 drives once that update hits. If not, bam, right into the PC.

    Does as it claims!

    Very happy with this product. Recently switched to Ryzen 3950X until the 5950X is more obtainable at the time of this review. Using PCIE 4.0, I managed to score 6724MB/S Read, 4945MB/S Write. Their product page says "up to 7000/5000" so I call that close enough to be more than happy with it. Enough that I'm back here to buy a 2nd one, now that I know it lives up to the claims. Excellent work. Dissapointed I cant find these from Samsung themselves, the 1TB model. Bestbuy seems to be one of few places with them in stock but I mean hey, stock is stock!
