Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB M.2 Internal SSD

Replaced my 500GB Samsung SSD with this beast and happy with the results. Cloned the OS using Samsung Magician and have had no problems at all. It's fast and my boot speed has increased as you would expect. The biggest advantage is not having sata cables to cable manage which helps keep your build looking clean. Another advantage is the 1TB of space which keeps all my favourites games in one place and leaves plenty of room for other applications that you want to have quick access to. I also have 3TB HDD for all my movies, music and photos.

Cons: Runs warm and in my system idles around 37 Celsius and can get warmer when utilising ...view more Replaced my 500GB Samsung SSD with this beast and happy with the results.

Cons: Runs warm and in my system idles around 37 Celsius and can get warmer when utilising it. However, it never gets high enough where it effects performance. If it wasn't for this small issue, I would have given 5 stars.

I bought this SSD and after installed it the computer started to fly. Boot time has reduced to a minimun I bought this SSD and after installed it the computer started to fly. Boot time has reduced to a minimun

Performs very well and haven't had any issues. However, installation was quite difficult since the screw that secures it to the stand off on my MOBO is so small Performs very well and haven't had any issues.

Having your OS on this, you PC boots in seconds.
Coming from a PC that took at least 10 mins to fully boot and this boots in seconds.
If you had this as your only HDD I would recommend the 1TB as it has filled up pretty quick. Having your OS on this, you PC boots in seconds.

If you want the fastest storage available, I strongly recommend this. Small, compact but efficient and you’ll never look back If you want the fastest storage available, I strongly recommend this. Small, compact but efficient and you’ll never look back

This is a big step up from a SATA SSD. Really fast. This is a big step up from a SATA SSD. Really fast.

Much more faster than my old sata SSD when I run online games&transferring files. Also keeps the PC case tidy. Much more faster than my old sata SSD when I run online games&transferring files. Also keeps the PC case tidy.
