What measures does this SSD take for thermal control?

The SSD uses nickel coating to manage the controller's heat and a heat spreader label for effective thermal control of the NAND chip.

What is the storage capacity of this SSD?

The storage capacity of this SSD is 500GB.

What are the durability specifications of this SSD?

The durability specifications of this SSD include a Terabytes Written (TBW) rating of 300TB and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,500,000 hours.

Is this SSD energy efficient?

Yes, this SSD is energy efficient as it reduces power consumption by up to 32% and improves power efficiency by up to 56% compared to the 970 EVO.

How does this SSD perform in terms of speed?

The SSD offers sequential read/write speeds of up to 3,100/2,600 MB/s.

Can it be used in an HP Pavilion 570?

To my understanding you'll need a 2.5" SATA SSD, not NVMe for use with HP Pavillion 570 (because of it's age).

does this come with universal installation hardware (the screws to mount to motherboard?)

The product review summary mentions that some users have reported the lack of included screws.
