Model overview based on user reviews  
The Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 SSD is highly praised for its exceptional speed and reliability, making it a top choice for both system and gaming use. Users report that the read and write speeds often exceed manufacturer claims, significantly enhancing system performance compared to traditional SSDs. Despite its high performance, the SSD tends to heat up under prolonged load, a common issue with NVMe drives, suggesting the need for additional cooling solutions like a heatsink or improved ventilation. While the price is higher than some competitors, many users find it justified by the drive's stable operation and high endurance. Installation is straightforward, and the compact M.2 format is appreciated, although some users note a lack of MacOS support. Overall, the Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 is considered a must-have for modern systems, offering a balance of speed, quality, and reliability, albeit at a premium price.

Too far away model
30 May 2023 
I've been using it for a year and a half, before that the system was on a regular HDD and it was its weakest link, the lag was just unbearable. After installation, the PC "came to life." I split it in half, one partition for the operating system and various software, the other for games and work files. Everything else remained on the HDD.
Fast, speed matches what the manufacturer claims.
In my mind, every day.

Works fast, but needs a good heatsink. And then time will tell!
7 June 2021 
Bought for the system in April 2021 for 7300
Decent speed, but if you, like me, used sane ssds for the system before, then you won’t notice much of a difference.
It gets hot, unlike a regular external SSD, I have a native heatsink from the motherboard on it and the temperature in idle mode is 50-55 degrees with 5 turntables in the system unit! In recording mode, the temperature can easily rise to 60-65, but this is not critical, but the difference from external SSDs is obvious!
The best thing that happened to me in terms of interaction with a laptop.

Not the cheapest, but a reliable drive from Samsung. The speed is accurate, it works stably, and the buffer is sufficient. I use it for the system, games, and various work programs. I decided to write a review to draw attention to the video I made some time ago. It is hanging somewhere on the tab with the video.
Reliability, speed, design, no throttling.

Evolution "plus"

Samsung's dominance in the SSD market is more than justified: over the past years, the company has been offering the best SSDs that are ahead of the competition in terms of performance, as well as in terms of support and reliability. Thank you for this is to say a closed production cycle, which allows the company to independently produce memory modules and controllers. As a result, over the years of testing, such a situation has developed that almost every new Samsung EVO SSD line becomes the yardstick by which everyone else is judged.

Maximum speed for PCIe 3.0x4 bus

But last time the process was broken and the Samsung 970 EVO turned out to be just a very good, but never a reference drive. Therefore, the Koreans decided to remind who is the boss in the house, and released an improved version of the 970 EVO with the Plus prefix. The novelty is based on the same branded Samsung Phoenix controller, but almost all speed indicators have increased significantly. First of all, 3200 MB / s are striking during sequential writes. It used to be 2300 Mbps. That is an increase of almost one and a half times. Random access copy and write IOPS increased by an average of 20%. The increase is not revolutionary, but very tangible. And it is he who returns Samsung to the pedestal, it simply does not have such fast competitors on the PCIe 3.0x4 bus. And the next 980 EVO will apparently squeeze the juice out of the fourth generation PCIe.

Slightly more expensive than the regular 970 EVO

Another question is that in reality these improvements will pass by the majority of users, few people will sit with a timer and note the Windows boot time or drive 200-300 GB archives from disk to disk. And in the PCMark 8 tests, which are as close as possible to real usage scenarios, the new product does not get ahead too much, and in some places even lags slightly behind. But here is the honor and praise of Samsung, which did not raise the price tag, leaving it actually at the level of the standard 970 Evo. However the regular 970 Evo can be caught on sale, while the 970 EVO Plus is definitely not worth waiting for discounts. Therefore, the choice here is between a simply excellent and fast SSD, and a slightly faster one for comparable money. In the meantime, it's better to wait a bit, look at the price dynamics and evaluate whether the new Samsung flash memory will perform as reliably as the previous generation. If there are no problems, then the new Samsung drives can definitely be recommended for purchase. Their workmanship is of the highest quality, and a five-year warranty gives confidence in the future.
