SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, V-NAND Technology, Storage and Memory Expansion for Gaming, Graphics w/ Heat Control, Max Speed, MZ-V7S1T0B/AM

Great product and very easy to install. My boot-up time is between 15 and 26 seconds. An amazing improvement from my old HDD. Never going back.

perfectly fit

Bought this to replace the cheap drive that came with my ASUS laptop. I partitioned it out to dual boot Linux and Windows and have some space for shared storage and I have had no issues so far

Requires screw

Intel driver is the only one that works to access the ssd as a permanent drive. Don’t get this ssd if the bios is running in raid and can’t be changed. Look at the forums for the driver update to make sure your OS can utilize the Samsung driver.

Its fast. I edit video. The files I work with are humungous. So I use an ASRock motherboard with three populated M2/NVMe/PCIe slots on the board itself. Samsungs got the best reputation in this space. Intels 660p 2TB stick is half the price, with an excellent rep, but slower. I am considering installing four of those in an ASUS Hyper M2 card to make a large fast RAID. Where and when will I see name brand 4TB M2/NVMe sticks? Off brands are here, but... At this point Im still using mechanical drives for archiving projects. If youre not moving large files around on a regular basis, you can get by with the less expensive intel 660p QLC family - on sale, often, at half the price of Samsungs 970 EVO Plus.

This was part of a new build. Installed easily. I love the space. Great product.

I had great difficulty transferring my system to this medium, only after using the Samsung migration software was I successful. The only issue I have is the Samsung migration software does not transfer the OEM partitions which contain the original Windows OS image. Not a big deal.

Fast and reliable, exactly what you should want from your storage.

Drive is fast, good. Sadly, died after a year with a 99% lifetime estimate and no warning from SMART.
