SAMSUNG (MZ-V7E500BW) 970 EVO SSD 500GB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology, Black/Red

Fast. Cant say really any better or worse than any major nmve drive. But the software will NOT read the drive if intel rst is installed and running. BIOS had to be set to ahci for software to run and see the drive.

This is my first M.2 drive and I went with the brand I have been using for 2 1/2 SSDs .. this drive did NOT disappoint! great speed ... nice!

Easy to install, great storage, and decent speeds.

AmaZzing fast storage . My computer starts up and booting windows within 10 seconds. This is a must have if you are only running some storage for windows mostly and gaming, don’t cheap out on storage this is as good as it gets for the price.

This thing is straight up nasty with its performance! its like a LS7 converted into an SSD.

This is very fast. Bleeding edge! Okay, if you want bleeding edge, open that wallet and get the PRO version. However, this is perfectly good for windows 10 and keeping boot time to a minimum. I installed two on my motherboard, because I cant possibly leave and empty slot on my asus tuf gaming x570-plus (wi-fi). Simple to install if your motherboard supports it. One screw - see photo with the arrow - secures the drive in place. The location of the m.2 slot varies by motherboard and is sometimes below shielding that will need to be removed.

After having trouble trying to install a different SSD I was worried this one was going to treat me the same. I was luckily totally wrong! Installation was simple and changed my laptop’s boot time from 30 minutes on an HDD to 30 seconds with this.

First off, great product and great corrective action taken by amazon. Serious issues in either the Amazon warehouse, Samsung manufacturing plant, or people buying these and sending them back to amazon. I bought a 500GB Samsung EVO and a 2TB Samsung EVO Pro. The 500GB Samsung EVO was used but I just reformatted it and that was that. The 2TB EVO Pro came in what appeared to be a sealed box but had a 250GB non pro inside. Amazon did take my word and send me a replacement, though be warned. The odds of ending up with this product being heavily tampered with (in my experience) is very high.
