Reviews around product (5.00 of 5)

  • Price is still too high but the product is really good.
  • I would definitely recommend this product as Samsung has an excellent reputation in solid state memory and the upgrade is well worth it if you have an M.2 NVMe socket available
  • The average consumer won’t notice the increased speeds over the 960 but for being a better product at a lower price than a 1tb
  • love the product...and excellent quality and performance
  • Other than this being shipped in a box without packing material, this product works well.

Reviews around upgrade (5.00 of 5)

  • As you can imagine, as I skipped over sata SSDs entirely, this upgrade was incredible
  • If you are fortunate enough to work it all together then this is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT UPGRADE you can do for you system performance
  • It's been an amazing upgrade for my PC and the boot time now is
  • Best upgrade in storage compared to my old hard drive 7200 rpm
  • my original hard drive died, used a connector to install this onto my MBP, newer and bigger! great upgrade.

Reviews around m.2 (5.00 of 5)

  • This is definitely the best M.2 drive available on the market today
  • Its extremely fast, solid and a very reliable m.2 drive
  • If you have an M.2 capable motherboard honestly you should have one
  • If you don’t have an available M.2 slot, then you should get a “hard disk shaped” SSD like the 860 EVO
  • First, check if you have a free M.2 slot (on your motherboard; check your manual) then this 970 EVO is one of the best you can get

Reviews around quality (5.00 of 5)

  • love the product...and excellent quality and performance
  • I use this for sound libraries for composing on the PC as well as for raw video clips when doing video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Not as perfect as the 970 PRO, but significantly cheaper
  • Samsung migration software is very easy to use but needs work as it doesn't copy your recovery partitions

Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • Not as perfect as the 970 PRO, but significantly cheaper
  • I use this for sound libraries for composing on the PC as well as for raw video clips when doing video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro
  • The 970 EVO retains the lightning speed while offering a greater value than the pro
  • I didn't return it because I knew going in it wasn't a good value, I just wanted to see for myself
  • If your MacBook Pro SSD has failed and you're looking at options, consider the parts I mentioned, because they represent a much better value and performance capability than Apple's factory SSD

Reviews around thing (4.73 of 5)

  • How can you buy a +$200 product and not include the screw to mount the damn thing
  • recovered 10% memory due to no rapid mode, the one thing I ran into that I was not expecting was this,
  • It works extremely fast and I still don't think he knows how to appreciate this thing.
  • This thing is so good that I wanted to give it a little TLC.
  • This thing makes life so easy for video editing and they can only imrpoove from here.

Reviews around installation (4.70 of 5)

  • Fast, easy installation for a laptop - you will need more to install it in a desktop
  • I use this for sound libraries for composing on the PC as well as for raw video clips when doing video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro
  • This is doing everything I need it to do, lightning fast, and installation was super easy.

Reviews around install (4.47 of 5)

  • Your motherboard and setup will determine how difficult the install will be
  • Bought the 1TB 970 EVO, Install was a breeze on my Aurora R7
  • Easy install as was recognized with no need to go into BIOS.
  • I had my techy friend help me, and we were running the computer off of a USB to do a clean install of windows.
  • The only install issues I had was opening my case, which isn't the fault of the product

Reviews around performance (4.45 of 5)

  • Price is great with consideration of its awesome performance
  • I'm upgrading from a SK Hynix PC 401 drive, which didn't have bad performance, but I like my data better on a trusted brand, and I get a decent performance bump, though in everyday usage won't be noticeable to most people
  • so I wasn't specting that is so slim and small and the performance is incredible
  • love the product...and excellent quality and performance
  • If you want to get insane performance without paying the premium price of the pro version, just go for these

Reviews around nvme (4.21 of 5)

  • It is an amazing nvme drive and it was cheaper than the 960
  • So I upgraded my Dell to 500gb (couldn't afford 1TB NVMe) without a hitch using a USB recovery drive (create a recovery USB drive from dell.com before installing since it will customize Windows 10 with the drivers to fit your laptop model)
  • NVMe drives like this are the way mainstream storage is headed
  • Extremely fast compared to traditional mechanical drives, also faster than regular sata SSDs, if you have an M.2 NVMe slot available I highly recommend getting one of these as it will positively impact the performance of your PC.
  • Great drive if you have the money then get this but do not expect massive performance over a SATA m.2 ssd also make sure you're system supports NVMe drives, before you buy it.

Reviews around price (4.16 of 5)

  • I was going to buy this for myself for xmas, but I saw the price by other venders starting to increase, worried same thing might happen like the video cards went
  • It definitely worth the price and I purchase it with a discount
  • Price is great with consideration of its awesome performance
  • To my surprise the boot time didn't really change, it might be half a second faster, so little I began to wonder if the price was worth it
  • I bought a Dell XPS 15 9570 for a great price with 16gb ram but with only a 256gb hard drive

Reviews around speed (3.97 of 5)

  • On my ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero motherboard, this drive screams at over 3500 MBs/sec read and 2500 MBs/sec write speeds
  • Does exactly what it's suppose to but at faster speeds than you expect.
  • No moving parts and 250gb at insane write speeds the size of a gumstick for $
  • Get this if you like speed and have $$ to spend; however, traditional SSDs (960 EVO) are significantly cheaper and offer better bang for the buck
  • I went from a standard 2tb hard drive to the Samsung 970 EVO 500GB, the speeds are a crazy improvement

Reviews around screw (1.69 of 5)

  • Wish it came with one it those little proprietary screws that they use to secure to the motherboard.. but I found one somehow
  • Sequential read performance is outstanding ~3500MB/s
  • I had to go to a hardware store to get one - but it was closed, so I ended up cannibalizing one m2 3mm screw from another laptop
  • I had lost the screws needed to mount this to my
