Accelerate into next-gen computing. The Samsung 970 EVO delivers breakthrough speeds, best-in-class reliability, and a broad range of capacity options up to 2TB*. The latest V-NAND, new Phoenix controller, and Intelligent TurboWrite technology enhance high-end gaming and 4K & 3D graphic editing.
Pros: Ease of install. This was without a doubt the easiest storage device I've ever installed. The Data Migration utility from Samsung made cloning the system drive this SSD was replacing a snap.
Cons: Only issue I've had so far is that I had to do a power cycle mid-boot. I know this isn't good, but was necessary. Needless to say I got the "Scanning and repairing C: Drive" message that took forever. I ended up rebooting and bypassing disc checking. Once in Windows 10, I did a disc scan and everything reported back as normal. I still got a reboot to complete repairs message, but Windows is running just fine. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Overall Review: Purchased this SSD to replace a Seagate Barracuda 2.0 TB drive. Had to offload some stuff as it had 1.10 TB of data (mostly iTunes stuff). I'm glad I did because this SSD is screaming fast. Looking to add a 2 TB SSD model for my media drive next.
Pros:
Fastest drive i've ever had. The drive boots up my laptop faster then the laptop can detect the battery. I'm able to fully sign into windows before it detects low battery and shuts itself off. Boots up fully in around 3 seconds.
I was able to easily set this drive up by cloning it with a USB adapter then plug and play. Using the Samsung Magician i was able to ensure it was fully up-to-date and verify the speeds.
I can run games and windows off of this one drive without any speed impact.
Cons: None so-far
Overall Review: Just loving the extra 800gb and intense speed this upgrade gave me.
Pros: -It works and it's amazingly fast, compared to what I had before!
Cons:
-The price went up, drastically, after I purchased it. I was thinking of buying another.
(I settled for a Samsung 860 Sata III SSD as a backup drive, instead.)
-While this isn't directly related to the drive itself, the data migration software hosted Samsung's website has some issues, when cloning a drive.
It copies the unique drive identifier (I believe that's what caused this problem, anyway) and causes Windows 10 and BIOS (at least in my case) to stop recognizing/using the drive, since it sees two drives with the same identifier in its partition table (GPT or MBR).
At first, after some reading and experimentation, I thought that using "diskpart" to change the drive's unique identifier would help, but it prevents Windows from being able to boot. (Probably because of a mismatch of the identifier in the MBR/GPT and the Windows registry entry that causes Windows to perceive this discontinuity as a corruption in the drive.)
What ended up fixing the problem for me going to "This Pc" ->Manage ->Disk Management ->right click the old drive that you cloned and selecting "online." I thought that I had lost all of my data when cloning to the 860 Sata III SSD, since it wasn't showing in Windows or in BIOS, until I performed the aforementioned procedure. I am now back to booting from this drive and all is well, from what I can see.
Of course, your mileage may vary, who knows.
Overall Review:
I went from a 7200 RPM HDD and knew that I wouldn't be disappointed.
I'll post again, if it dies on me (and if it's possible to make a followup or revision), but I haven't noticed any oddities with it yet (in about a month of actual usage).
*I'm not holding the issues that I had with the cloning software that is hosted on Samsung's website against this product, since it is only tangentially related. This device in and of itself is worthy of a 5/5 rating, in so far as it lasts for the duration of its acceptably long warranty.
While I don't have much to add, I think that it's important to mention when things work, so that the ratio of positive feedback to negative feedback accurately depicts the number of faulty products vs good ones. Personally, I see some posts about things being defective and become leery of making a purchase.
Pros: First one of these I have ever had. Really love it!! Really convenient size and runs very fast. My total boot up time with WIN 10 is only about 5 seconds. It is so fast I haven't really timed it but don't blink. I do quite a bit of editing in Photoshop and it is so fast I find myself waiting because I can't get used to the speed. Don't blink or you might not see the new screen load.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Highly recommended!!
Pros:
Great load times
Really fast
Cons: None I've experienced.
Pros: This is actually my second NVMe SSD in my rig. So, there is a 2TB and a 1TB now... I tried to RAID 0 the drives together but for some reason it's limiting me to 2TB RAID 0 on both drives which I wanted to go a full 3TB. So, now I have them seperated my main drive (2TB) houeses windows 10 and all the games while the 1TB houses all my media/UMS DLNA stuff.
Cons: Nothing to say, wonderful drives, had to buy a second one :D
Overall Review:
Intel i7-9700K (OC'd @ 5GHz)
Corsair H150i Pro RGB (Cooler)
MSI MAG z390 Tomahawk (Motherboard)
4x16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 2666MHz (64GB of RAM)
Samsung 970 EVO SSD M.2 2280 (2TB)
Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 2070 Extreme 8GB GDDR6
EVGA SuperNova 1000 P2 (1000W Fully Modular)
Corsair Crystal Series 570X (Case)
Pros:
-Fast
-Small and easy to install
Cons: -None (i know the screw is suppose to come with the motherboard but it would be nice to add one in just in case)
Overall Review: I saw a huge difference going from HD (100 mb/s) to SSD (500 mb/s) but only noticed a small difference between the SSD and this M.2 new version (3000 mb/s). Still worth it but if you are on a budget going with a regular SSD is still good.
