• Reviews around installation (4.70 of 5)

    Samsung 970 EVO 500GB - NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD (MZ-V7E500BW)

    • Safe Mode, format, rebooted W10 and was able to complete a fresh installation of W10
    • Installation is easy as long as you can get to it.
    • This is doing everything I need it to do, lightning fast, and installation was super easy.
    • Second: installation was a pain
    • Installation was easy and rebooting and reinstallation of windows 10 was smooth.
    • you will need to order them separately for proper installation.
    • Neither cloning software - Samsung and Macrium Reflect were able to clone the original hard drive and I eventually gave up and did a clean installation
    • Fast, easy installation for a laptop - you will need more to install it in a desktop
    • Clean installation of W10 took about 2 minutes, opening and closing programs is also fast
    • The advertised read/write speeds are correct as I
    • Sequential read performance is outstanding ~3500MB/s
    • 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
    • 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
    • Still works as it should.
