The Samsung 970 SSDs use the PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface and NVMe 1.3. They have a sequential read speed of up to 3,500 MB/s and a sequential write speed of up to 3,300 MB/s. The SSDs come with a 5-year limited warranty or 1,200 TBW limited warranty. They are for use in client PCs and have a weight of 8.0 g.
Powered by Samsung’s latest V-NAND technology and firmware optimization, the 970 EVO Plus is faster than the 970 EVO. In capacities up to 2TB, with reliability of up to 1,200 TBW1, the 970 EVO Plus maximizes the potential of NVMe bandwidth for superb computing.
Reaching sequential read/write speeds up to 3,500/3,300 MB/s2, up to 53%3 faster than the 970 EVO, Samsung’s latest V-NAND—which brings greater NAND performance and higher power efficiency—along with optimized firmware, a proven in-house controller, and Intelligent TurboWrite boost speeds.
Fitting up to 2TB onto the compact M.2 (2280) form factor, the 970 EVO Plus greatly expands storage capacity and saves space for other components. Samsung’s innovative technology empowers users with the capacity to do more and accomplish more.
The 970 EVO Plus provides exceptional endurance powered by the latest V-NAND technology and Samsung’s quality, with a new standard in sustainable performance of up to 1,200 TBW4 and a 5-year limited warranty.
Achieving a new level of drive confidence, Samsung’s advanced nickel-coated controller and heat spreader on the 970 EVO Plus enable remarkable heat dissipation. The Dynamic Thermal Guard automatically monitors and maintains optimal operating temperatures to help minimize performance drops.
