    Excellent Drive

    Way better than the smaller WD drive it replaced. The Samsung Magician software made the transition a breeze. If your board only has one M.2 slot, youll need to buy a usb to M.2 adapter to interface with your PC for the Magician software to copy the drive. In my case, I let Samsung Magician copy the drive, powered down the PC, opened the case, swapped the drive, closed the case, booted right back up like nothing happened.

    I bought this on sale to expand the 512GB SSD that came with my new laptop. Cloned existing drive to this one while in an enclosure over USB-C and then swapped them. No problems and worked like a charm. This SSD does not come with a heatsink so check accordingly if you need one.

    I always go for samsung evos when I need an SSD. I have yet to have any issues with them. This one is the fastest yet. As an added bonus, the migration tool that comes with samsung magician software made installing this and transferring the OS over a breeze.

    Two gigs is a fantastic sweetspot for games. As you can install a few large games alongside tons of smaller ones. But if this is going to be the sonly storage on the system... go for 4tb.

    This works excellent as expanded storage for an M4 Mac Mini. Get a Thunderbolt 4 hub with NVME and additional ports to use this in and you will have a solid upgrade without paying the Apple tax.

    I’m using the 2 tb Samsung 990 Evo Plus as external storage for my Mac mini. I’m using an enclosure only capable of 10 Gbps but works fine and still plenty fast.
