Review on 💾 Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 2TB SSD (MZ-V7S2T0BW) by Dila Annisa ᠌

Acquired in August 2022 for 26,700. for a stationary computer. It is optimal for working with large files, especially if you need not only high read speed, but also write speed. For comparison, I made several benchmarks in a row with the Samsung Magician program (see photo) so that the solid state warms up well. To summarize: - without a heatsink, the temperature rose to 83 C, then throttling turned on and the controller went into economy mode to prevent overheating, while the speed could drop by a third. - with the Espada ESP R-6 heatsink, after being tortured by a series of benchmarks, the solid state showed a maximum of 71 C. In the normal mode of file copying - no higher than 65 C. I recommend the 970 EVO Plus if you prioritize reliability, consistently high speeds and take care of cooling. I bought this SSD myself, running into an ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 2TB marriage, which worked flawlessly for 2 weeks and died. They returned the money, added 3 thousand and took the Samsung. If you need an SSD for games, then it is quite possible to get by with a cheaper drive. For 5 years, for example, the Plextor 1TM8PeG SSD (there is a Marvell controller and Toshiba memory) has served me faithfully. Speeds by CrystalDiskMark 2200/1200. I compared the loading time in games - there is no difference with the 970 Evo Plus. Cyberpunk 2077 - loading any save 18 sec (HDD - 28). GTA V - loading the story mode 21 sec (HDD - 57). Win10 also loads the same way on both SSDs (it varies between 43-47 seconds for me, judging by the event log 100). If a drive from Plextor, for example, was offered at half the price or twice as much, and at the same time with a five-year warranty, then I would take it. In any case, if the budget allows, choosing this SSD from Samsung will not regret it. It will pay off handsomely with the time and nerves saved.
