SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, V-NAND Technology, Storage and Memory Expansion for Gaming, Graphics w/ Heat Control, Max Speed, MZ-V7S1T0B/AM

Getting the back off my laptop was harder than the actual installation. I have SO much space now!

good choice.

This M.2 is very expensive in my opinion. However it runs so well that I cannot leave a bad review. Everything on it opens in milliseconds and if you download the Samsung Magician software, you can track everything going on and test the speeds. I highly recommend this M.2 to anyone who wants a fast computer.

It is fast

The M.2 form factor is very handy. Plug and play is so much better than fiddling around with SATA cables. Its unfortunate to have two SATA ports disabled but thats due to my motherboard, not the SSD. My PC is blazing fast but it was already pretty quick before the install. Moving from 2.5 inch SATA SSD to NVMe is a noticeable difference but its definitely not the same change experienced when I went from HDD to SSD. Certain use cases will take advantage of the added speed more than others. I think the majority of average users would be just fine sticking with 2.5 inch SATA SSD. You can get more storage for the money that way. If you have a special use case or if budget isnt a concern, go on a splurge. Samsung is still the king of SSD but there are some lower cost options making quality NVMe drives for much less these days. Spend wisely!

This is a perfect upgrade for modular laptops, or PCs. This is very easy to install and have incredible boot times For Windows OS compared to OEM SSDs.

Could not initialize the drive in Windows 10

Drive failed after 10 months. Runs very hot.

The speed has multiplied by maybe x50. Love it !!!

Time will tell.
