    Great! But Firmware Issues?

    I just installed this on my PS5 along with an Insignia Heatsink (sold separately) and it worked great until after about 20 mins in. While transferring games over to drive and playing a game simultaneously, the game quit unexpectedly and gave me a green screen for about 10 seconds. PS5 restarted and went into Repair Mode. I didn’t lose any data and since then it’s been working just fine, but did see that older models of these require a firmware update to get ride of these issues. Be aware before buying!

    Super fast, good price, and was in-stock locally which saved my bacon! I can't say much other than it runs great and has since the day I installed it. It maxes out Gen4 NVMe speeds.

    I use Samsung for all my SSD needs due to never having a problem during installation of drives and that they have great software for cloning older spinny drives. This is my new C: drive and it works flawlessly.

    Easy to install and no issues since installation. My mobo has a good headsink for the SSDs so I'm not sure if heating would be an issues on other setups.

    The best and most reliable PCIe Gen 4 m.2 SSD

    There's not a lot to say about this drive other than the fact that it is fast and works. There's only one issue you may encounter when installing it. If you plan to use this drive and perform a clean installation of Windows you will have to download a storage driver and install it before you can install Windows. Samsung does not have a driver for this device like they do the 970 EVO. I had to use the Intel RST driver for Intel 10th and 11th Gen Platforms. I downloaded the software and extracted it and then copied to the USB drive where I had my Windows Installation Media and when I started the install I had to install the driver manually and then Windows recognized the drive and would allow me to partition it and install a fresh copy of Windows. Windows installation media should probably have the driver for a drive this popular but it doesn't.

    Not too much can be said about this drive that you probably don't already know. It is fast, reliable and 2TBs is better than 1. Although not the fastest drive on the market anymore it is probably the most trusted and reliable drive ever.

    I purchased an Alienware Laptop and wanted to increase the SSD Memory. This drive is awesome - so fast and I highly recommend. Since I was a Geek Squad member best buy installed it on my laptop no additional charge and made sure it worked properly as well. Great SSD.

    Very fast and reliable. Im a gamer and if you know anything about games is that they are large files. With this M.2 it takes half the time to install a game.

    Insanely quick! Got this on sale and was able to pick it up in 20 minutes. Installation took a few minutes due to trying to find the screw in my motherboard box. Super easy to install and set up, would recommend nothing but Samsung due to ease of transferring data over.

    I upgraded to this 2TB because I had a 1TB that failed. I was going to replace it with a 1TB, but the 2TB was on sale for $30 more. The one that failed was only 2 months old. It was a Kingston that is why I changed to Samsung. I have had no issues and it is fast. I have used it for only a month but so far reliable.

    Pc Storage Was Insane

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This storage is great and very fast at downloading games and I think might just have to buy it and if your pc does not recognize it all you have to download is a Samsung driver which is not that hard but overall it’s a very good product and I think you should buy it for your Pc.

    Got this for extra internal storage for my Playstation 5. The hard part was getting the PS5 covers off. You will want to put a heat sink on this before installing. This thing is fast and was quick to get formatted and setup in my PS5. Samsung makes the best SSD hard drives.

    For 2TB of NVME storage, the price is exactly in line with the value you will recieve. This drive went in my gaming pc, but i also bought another for my ps5. Both works great! And with read speeds of 7000mbps, this thing FLIES!

    Great SSD, the price has come down on Pcie gen4 drives. So 2 TB for 116 dollars sounds great in comparison when a 2tb was going for almost 400 dollars. Speeds are awesome.
