SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB - High-Speed M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology (MZ-V7S2T0B/AM) Review

I had to buy a more massive radiator, because. with the standard there were significant temperature differences, in particular the controller. The zone between the video card and the CPU makes itself felt, there is always + 10-15g from the external environment, whether you like it or not, even if the ssd is "sleeping" (by default, it is disabled in the BIOS on all desktops). I put 0.5mm spacers on the flash, and 1mm on the rest, but this is a custom height-adjustable radiator. The standard…

= After a week of "pain" and tests that way for 2.5 TB, I wanted to take it and go get rid of everything possible. Because it was unexpectedly the hottest piece of hardware in the case. After the "freaked out" = zakolhozil under the solid state radiator from the old AMD processor with a thick copper base with heat pipes. I put an aluminum radiator from Espada ESP-R1 on the back wall. All this was provided by expensive Pro Legend and Thermal Grizzly thermal pads. I also had to put in, in terms…

I recommend! Some pros: A fast, inexpensive drive for a large OS. Transferred all banks and VST instruments there Different cons: Warming up. 55-58 degrees at idle. I had to adjust the cooling system. Although, such temperatures are the norm according to technical data

I already have three of these, the first two are in the computer, one for 500 for the system, the second for 2022 for file cleaning. I bought a third 2022 to use as a flash drive in a ugreen case. The temperatures are quite tolerable, I'm happy.

a week at work, the flight is normal. With its pros: Speed, volume. In the photo - copying data from hard drive G (IronWolf 2 Tb, reading, 98% loading) to drive D (970 evo plus, writing, 7% loading). Cons below: warms up. in idle 40 degrees with a standard radiator on the asus z690-a

I really don't like it when the computer slows down, it stopped doing it in principle. Everything happens instantly, its only minus is the price. But it became clear that 2 drives of 2 TB are enough for work and games, for movies and garbage it is enough to take ordinary SSDs.

Use only with cooling otherwise throttling, up to 70 degrees. for a few seconds. Stands in a laptop with cooling on the case through a thermal pad.

You may need to remove the sticker to install your own heatsink, voiding your warranty. Let's see how it will show itself, but at the moment there are no problems in operation (DAW).

The first time I used it on a desktop (1 TB, I took it) - since then I remember its speed. Now I took a laptop, where I replaced the standard SSD with two Samsung 970 EVO Plus (2 and 1 TB) - the speeds are the same. Up to 3.5 GB/s

Excellent disc. The speed of work corresponds to the declared. Excellent software from Samsung helps to transfer the system without any problems. I am satisfied. It is a pity that the laptop has only one M2 slot

Its pros: 37 MB/s random read speed in one stream - smartly. Copying say 50 gigabytes from one 970 to another takes place at a speed of 1800 MB / s - norms. Some cons: At rest, t ~ 51 degrees. Under load - under 70. This is with a regular ROG Gene radiator - over which the processor fan pulls out air.

July 2022 - purchased for 15,000. in a friendly country. Immediately verified through Samsung Magician. It is contraindicated to use without a radiator - it is hot under load. Excellent device - everyone is happy.

I came to spoil the statistics a little: my disk honestly worked for two years, after which something suddenly happened and Windows stopped loading with beautiful bsod. The reason was found out quickly - the disk died. It was still possible to download some data from it, but not all. scandisk finds many errors and cannot fix them. time to look for a replacement. 2 years honestly worked.

When buying, immediately take a powerful radiator, a milder temperature regime can extend the life of the device and save you from performance degradation due to overheating. I do not recommend small flat radiators, they practically do not help

I've been using it for a couple of months, put Windows on it and transferred all the work on 3D Max - everything just flies. I didn’t measure the read and write speeds, but it’s clear that everything is on top. The computer turns on and off in a couple of seconds. Under the standard motherboard radiator, even under load above 45-47 degrees, it did not warm up. How long it will last - time will tell.

After the purchase, I was puzzled by cooling, and during the search I found that Win 10 has a lot of different settings regarding the power supply of all devices. It turns out that you can not think about cooling the ssd, but simply set the "maximum power consumption" limit of the hard disk in terms of power supply in percent and the ssd will stop heating up. I checked, you can set 1% and then the copy speed drops to 100MB.\s. is the lower threshold. You can put 50-80% to taste and then the…

So far, it's hard to say something definite by overheating in the laptop. I took specifically for him this particular version with 3500 read / write, and not under 7k, so that it would heat up less, and also inserted NOT under the video card. On the screen, the moment immediately after the tests, at 70 degrees, but even that was after I pretty much shook it even before the tests, cloning the previous ssd to it 10 times, probably, until I found the rules of the program so that I could transfer…

Great thing, I thought for a long time to take or take . ? As a result, I bought it and did not regret it, now I don’t have to wait for a debt when this or that is loaded, it costs its money. Regarding overheating, I installed a regular radiator (it came with the motherboard) and with the case open (I don’t understand why keep the case closed at home ?) and with active use the heating was no higher than 41 degrees, more than Aida was not registered.

I put Legion 5 Pro (2022) in my laptop as a second ssd, everyone has already said about high write / read speeds. I will add about heating, in this laptop there is a good cooling system + from the factory there is an aluminum radiator on all ssd slots and frames. So in idle: 32-36 °, when downloading from the Internet to ssd: 40 °, when copying files and installing the application at the same time: it reached 55 °. The temperature in the room is about 27°. Interestingly, the regular ssd heats…

Temperatures can be intimidating, but a good heatsink is actually enough for passive cooling or fan air. I bought it in a laptop to store various large data on graphics and calculations, and in his laptop - the case is thin and the radiator on the SSD no longer fits. So, if dozens of gigs are continuously pushed onto this SSD (or copied from it), yes, it can come close to the critical temperature limit. Only in this case, the controller always cuts off the read / write speed, plus the speed…
