What customers say about "Key Specs"

Samsung 970 EVO V-NAND M.2 PCI Express Solid State Drive

The only thing I can objectively tell is different than my prior ssd is I can move and delete huge files instantly.
It is very effective and fast for me coz i rec 4K video.
Better then expected! Very high speed!
I had processed a batch of photos with the old drive and it had taken roughly 5 minutes to finish. I processed the same batch with the 970 EVO and it blew my mind, 45 seconds from import to batch adjustment and export.
If you're a gamer or just average user, just buy a regular SSD. Trust me.

Samsung 970 PRO (MZ-V7P512BW) 512 GB V-NAND M.2 PCI Express Solid State Drive - Black

This little stick-of-gum sized piece of hardware blows my mind. I did a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro onto it in mere minutes, and the system boots in a few seconds. Fastest as i expect!
This is the best and fastest drive I have ever had by far.
Your PC feels so fast and responsive. I highly recommend that if you can spend the extra 100 for the 970 Pro just do it. The advantages are very clear. This is a wonderful wonderful SSD. 10/10.
The performance is outstanding, blazing fast and very stable!
Computer boot up is much quicker then before and autocad runs very fast utilizing this new drive.

What customers say about "Features"

Samsung 970 EVO V-NAND M.2 PCI Express Solid State Drive

The NVMe interface (PCIe M.2 2280) offers enhanced bandwidth, low latency, and power efficiency, perfect for tech enthusiasts, high end gamers, and 4K & 3D content designers. Superb SSD!
Can't beat the speed of the nvme interface. Fastest i/o currently available.
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 970 Pro has no components on the back side of the card, so it should fit in even the lowest-clearance applications
You can benchmark all you want, but there is 0 perceivable difference between an NVMe and a Sata3 SSD.

Samsung 970 PRO (MZ-V7P512BW) 512 GB V-NAND M.2 PCI Express Solid State Drive - Black

The 970 Pro uses the much better 2-bit MLC V-NAND. This NAND has several advantages over 3-bit 3D NAND, much better performance, much better endurance, more reliable and the most important one, doesn't slow down like 3-bit 3D NAND does.
Super easy physical installation and lightening fast speeds!
Fast and quality SSD that is easy to install. Highly recommended!
I'm super impressed. The M.2 form factor is extremely compact and installed with zero issues.
Wow. Seriously amazing. The M.2 form factor is easy to install and performs like a dream.
