Figured I'd write a review to maybe help someone. I bought two 1Tb versions of these, had some buyer's remorse, and was really worried about compatibility. The whole 2 lane PCIE 3.0 vs. 4 lane PCIE 3.0 had me spooked in terms of system stability and performance/cost. My first system, a Dell Optiplex 5070, I am so happy to report, is lightning fast with this SDD. The 3060 and 5060's have been reported to have only 2 lane support and Dell's documentation is useless - but user complaints of less than optimal performance on NVME M.2 SDD's are everywhere. Well, Dell must've updated that system because CrystalDiskMark shows the 3,000 MB/s+ of a four lane system. I used the Samsung Data Migration tool to image the OS from Dell included 500GB 7200RPM have drive no problem. But I also have a Dell 7480 (i5) laptop. I just bought it new- the price was good and I needed a compact laptop to carry around. There was no question it is 2 Lane - being older, I didn't even have to guess. So the quandary was, would the Samsung 970 EVO be backward compatible, stable, and the speed worth the additional $70 over a Crucial SATA SDD? The system came with a 128GB SATA M.2 SSD. First of all, transferring the image was pretty hard - and I'm very familiar with imaging hard drives. Many Dell laptops will not see this SSD until the BIOS settings are changed from RAID to AHCI. This is first and foremost otherwise this SDD won't be seen. I've seen this reported with many motherboards. Second, I have a USB to M.2 NVME and a USB to M.2 SATA adapter. (There's only one SSD slot in the laptop so no choice...) Even with the Samsung installed directly in the laptop, the SSD firmware updated, and the Samsung SSD driver installed, Samsung Data Migration will not recognize this drive. I suspect it's the 2-lane thing. And it definitely will not see it in the USB adapter because it see's the adapter controller, not the SSD's. In a nutshell, I resorted to mounting both SDD's in those USB adapters, and plugging them in my Optiplex (another computer), one then the other. I first took and image or the original Dell SATA using Macrium Reflect. Then I plugged in the Samsung and restored the image. This takes some knowledge of Macrium (and a little math) to resize the C: (OS) partition to the new drive. Using a separate computer is the only way I could get this to work. But it worked perfectly. And I transferred all partitions no problem, expanding C: at the same time. As far as it being worth it, I'm getting 1,500 MB/s on the laptop 2 lane. This is still 3X the speed of an M.2 SATA SSD. So Yes! In a nutshell, don't count on the Samsung Data Migration tool. Do load the Samsung SSD driver from their website and install it. Do look in your BIOS to change RAID to AHCI if the computer doesn't see the new SSD in the NVME slot. Macrium Reflect is free and works most of the time. And it is compatible with 2 Lane PCIE 3.0 - if you see 1,500 MB/s Read speeds, that's why.

I love these things. It's hard not to give these drives 5 stars: they are fast, easy to install, don't take up any space, don't require any running of cables, they don't generate any noise, and they are getting more affordable by the day. I purchased this to install the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 to really speed up those load times and hopefully provide the best gaming experience. Obviously the game isn't out for a few more days so I will update my review if anything bad happens, which I do no anticipate. I've included a screenshot showing how the 970 Evo stacks up against 3 other storage devices in my PC: 1) another PCIe NVMe stick from Mushkin which my OS is installed on. 2) A more traditional SATA SSD drive which I have some of my most frequently played games on. It's a couple years old at this point, so take into consideration there are faster ones out there. 3) A 3 TB traditional platter based 7200 RPM HDD from Western Digital, for storage purposes. 'CrystalDiskMark' was used for testing. It is not my intention to disparage any other devices or manufacturers with this screenshot. All of the drives perform very well, my system boots up very fast on the Mushkin NVMe, and the games on my SATA SSD load way faster than if they were on a traditional platter HDD by multiple factors. I just want to show how the Samsung 970 Evo compares to other hard drive technology. A couple side notes. My motherboard either didn't include, or I misplaced, the screws needed to secure this drive to the motherboard (it may have only came with one set of screws, which I used to install my other NVMe at build time), so make sure you have the required screws before you attempt to install it. I ended up having to order a set of screws after I went through the hassle of unplugging everything, taking the side panel off, etc. Finally, as with all storage drives, you lose some capacity after it's configured for storage in the OS. In this case I lost 35 GB, so it became a 465 GB capacity.

The drive works very well and is much faster than the hard disk I was using. Everything about my system seems faster since installing this drive. I've heard you should keep 25 percent of an SSD/NVME drive empty for best performance and lifespan so keep that in mind when determining what capacity drive you want. It is not designed to have a heat sink installed. Some info for people who have no experience with NVME type drive setup/install in place of your C drive aka windows 10 boot disk. 1. this drive does not come with the screw to hold it in place. It is a very tiny screw and they can be different for every brand of computer so make sure you find a screw to fit that NVME standoff on your motherboard. My HP Pavilion is 3 years old and has no screw in the hole so I got one from a friend with an extra on his board. If you don't have one you may have to order an NVME screw kit. 2. There are 3 or 4 different downloads you need to do from the Samsung website. A. Samsung Magician app - info and diagnostics for the new drive and very basic info on all drives in system. B. Samsung Data Migration app - use to clone your C drive (Windows 10 boot drive) so you can boot off the new SSD drive. You most likely want this because it will greatly speed up most everything you do. The cloning is simple but do not do it until you have installed the latest firmware and replace the windows 10 default NVME driver with the Samsung one. C. firmware update that would be installed to the new drive - my EVO 970 had the latest firmware and did not need this. D. Windows Driver - you need this and Samsung wants you to install it before doing any operations on the drive. So you would 1. make sure you have the screw to hold the NVME drive in place. 2. physically install the drive 3. start up your computer and press X and Windows key and select Disk Management. You should see the new drive as unallocated space - initialize it as GPT (not MBR). You can format as NTFS also if you want - I did but I think the clone software might do all that anyway. Now install the Samsung driver, magician and data migration apps and also update your drive's firmware if needed. Restart and go into the Magician software and to the second window - I think its drive properties or similar and it should list the Samsung NVME driver is in use - good to verify. Next go into the data migration and clone your old hard disk onto the new drive - how long it takes depends on how much space you have used. Mine took about half an hour or so for about 200 GB. Once that is done then you want to shut down, go into your computer and physically unplug the data cable from you old hard disk. Turn the computer on and go into the bios setup and ensure the boot order shows you new NVME as number one. Now your PC should load windows from the new M.2 NVME drive. Note: Because one is a clone, now your new drive and old one have the same ID. Not good. If both drives are plugged in it will boot from the old hdd regardless of bios settings. Fix this by: 1. Shut down and connect the data cable back to your old HDD. Boot up - it will boot from hdd, not m.2. Use X + windows key to run command prompt as administrator. type: diskpart then type: list disk - identify your new drives number and type: select (space) the drive number then type: online then type: uniqueid then type: exit. Reboot, go into bios, disable boot security and enable legacy boot. Make sure the M.2 is the first in the boot order. That should be all you need to do to keep your old drive and boot from the new one. You can delete everything off your old hard disk if you want but you don't have to - you can leave it as a bootable windows disk. That's what I did. For anyone with an HP Pavilion 570-P0x0 from 2017 or later with Lubin motherboard I can tell you that this drive will work for you. Also, I did not have to update my computer bios for this to work. BTW - this drive is about 20 times faster than the drive it replaced. Apps now pop onto the screen almost instantly, even web pages seem to load a lot faster.

I absolutely love this thing. So small, but so fast. I have this sitting in a new computer I built for a friend. He had no idea what he was looking at when I whipped this out as a gift. He could not appreciate it because he has never used such a fast storage device. After we got W10 installed I had him restart the computer and time how long it took. It was about five minutes faster than the dying hard drive he had in his previous computer. What I love about these specifically is how they are just so low profile and out of the way. They sit parallel to your computer and it just works. I got one myself and didn't pay attention that the 500GB version was only an extra $90, so I returned mine. It's awesome to just have the computer boot in 9 seconds. Love it. My friend said that he thought computers were just for people who wanted to blow money and that there was no purpose to build something that was more than $300. Once I got this drive into the new computer for the Z370 system with an 8600K, he was totally into computers and loved his new machine. It works extremely fast and I still don't think he knows how to appreciate this thing. What a great drive.

So I ended up finding that this drive actually rated faster in the benchmark than what it's published specs. I did download Samsung Magician, the Data Migration software (which I didn't use) and the driver for the drive (has to be installed after the drive is). Installation was easy. In my computer, I would have had to either install this drive with no heatsink in the 2nd M.2 slot by removing the graphics card to get it to it, or install in the 1st M.2 slot where I have a heatsink already. I thought I was going to have to remove both the graphics card and the CPU cooler for that, but it turned out it was easy to install this in the first slot with the heatsink by only removing the graphics card. Took me barely 4 minutes. Having already downloaded the software and drivers for this before I did the installation, I booted up my machine to see that the BIOS could see the drive. No issues. Then I got into Windows and ran the test for the results you see in the image. I used Samsung Magician to clone my boot drive (SSD) to this one, and then used my own software to split the drive in half. I moved one of my bigger and sometimes slower games to it. I turned the system off, disconnected my original boot drive and booted in. I did find it had to do some repair just after splitting the drive, but a few seconds later it was in Windows and running perfectly. I found the boot time wasn't much different from my SSD, but the load times for applications was much faster (almost instant). I was trying to update my mod programs for the game I moved and realized I didn't have enough space for the mods, so I just wiped the drive to make it one massive drive for that game and all it's mods (which was the main reason I bought this). I plugged my original SSD back in and booted in the way I used to, but realized I had wiped the game off the new drive. No big deal. Installing it takes a few minutes on my connection. I'll test it all out with the mods and report back. What I will say is that when I ran the benchmark on the new drive, showed it was running at 39C. That's not cold, and we'll see how hot it gets while gaming.

I've been building PCs for decades and have used just about every brand of HDD, SSD, and NVMe out there. I keep coming back to Samsung EVO drives for one simple reason: they deliver rock-solid performance and long-term reliability. I've deployed these in everything from Windows workstations to Proxmox (Debian Linux) servers running ZFS RAIDZ, and they just work. No surprises, no data loss, no fuss, just rock solid performance. There are already tens of thousands of reviews on this drive, so I won’t rehash the benchmark charts. But if you're on the fence about which NVMe to trust for your next build or upgrade, you can buy a Samsung EVO with confidence. It’s a drive I keep going back to, and that says a lot.
