High-performance 500 GB consumer SSD from the popular EVO line, which combines high-performance and reliable drives from the Korean giant Samsung. It is positioned as a product of the upper part of the middle price category. Made in a compact form factor M.2 2280, designed for installation in gaming computers and consoles, laptops, ultrabooks and desktop workstations. The hardware basis of this model is a high-performance multi-channel Samsung Phoenix controller with a 1024 MB DRAM buffer based on LPDDR4 memory.
64-layer proprietary 3D TLC V-NAND flash memory features enhanced reliability and decent I/O performance. Together with the PCIe 3.0 bus and support for the NVMe protocol, the drive provides sequential read and write speeds up to 3400 MB/s. In fact, this is the ceiling of this bus, only drives with a PCIe 4.0 interface can work faster. In addition to high linear speeds, high efficiency should be noted: the IOPS of this model is close to 0.5 million operations per second, which significantly affects the performance of the drive under simultaneous high loads, for example, copying a huge number of small files at a time.
In addition, the drive supports high-speed SLC caching technology, which provides excellent performance of the drive as a system drive. All these factors make the Samsung 970 EVO an interesting option for a fast system storage, fast archive or game library. A high level of reliability is confirmed by a 5-year official warranty and a decent guaranteed write resource (TBW) of 300 TB.

Decent model. Windows 10 boots up in 6 seconds (excluding BIOS loading and the post-screen). Speed Design (looks alright on the board) Not yet use Samsung MZ-V7E500BW few months |
I bought this drive for a Mi Notebook Pro laptop, as there is an additional M2 slot because the built-in memory is not a lot and another drive was needed for the so-called disk D. The SSD was bought with many years ahead in mind, so it was chosen carefully, prioritizing maximum speed and quality. It installed in the laptop without any issues, everything runs smoothly as expected, and the speed is impressive. For example, installing a 30 GB game was unpacked in about 1 - 1.5 minutes, with copying speed within the drive around 1200 MB/s. Of course, it's worth noting the very convenient form factor; I hadn't used such before, and here there are no cables or power supply needed, just plug it into the slot and off you go. The maximum temperature I've seen it reach under load is about 40 degrees. Speed and more speed Nothing of course  Viktor S.: use Samsung MZ-V7E500BW few months |
It was good for its time in 2021. I recommend taking something else, like a Kingston, or Krushal on Gen4. At least 500 GB. Durability. Works for a long time, might survive another 5 years. Speed. There was a noticeable difference with hdd sata. Nema Vlad: use Samsung MZ-V7E500BW more than year |
