For users without PCIe Gen 4 support, this drive offers excellent value, delivering dependable, high performance that continues to meet demanding power user needs.
Know before you buy
The Samsung 970 EVO uses an M.2 2280 form factor. Before purchasing, verify that your laptop has an available M.2 slot that supports NVMe PCIe drives.
While the drive will work immediately upon installation, it is recommended to download Samsung Magician software. This tool allows you to monitor drive health, optimize performance, and easily update the firmware.
This drive is compatible with most Windows PCs that support NVMe M.2 drives. Compatibility with Mac computers is limited, as many modern Macs use proprietary storage or soldered drives that cannot be upgraded.
No, the drive does not include a mounting screw. You will need to use the standoff screw provided with your motherboard or laptop chassis to secure the M.2 drive in place.
Samsung’s V-NAND technology stacks memory cells vertically, which allows for higher density and improved endurance compared to traditional planar NAND. This design helps the drive maintain data integrity and performance over years of heavy use.
