Know before you buy
This SSD uses the M.2 2280 form factor, which is the standard size for most modern laptops and desktop motherboards. Before purchasing, ensure your device has an available M.2 slot that supports the PCIe NVMe interface.
With read speeds up to 3500 MB/s and write speeds up to 3300 MB/s, this drive is excellent for high-demand tasks. You will notice significantly faster game load times and smoother performance when scrubbing through high-resolution video files.
The 970 EVO Plus features Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard, which automatically monitors and maintains optimal operating temperatures. While it handles heat well on its own, ensure your PC case has decent airflow for sustained heavy workloads.
Yes, it is compatible with both Windows and macOS. However, if you are installing this in a Mac, please verify that your specific model has an upgradeable M.2 slot, as many newer Apple devices use proprietary, soldered storage.
This drive is built for durability with an endurance rating of up to 1,200 TBW (Terabytes Written) and comes with a 5-year limited warranty. It also includes end-to-end data protection and AES 256-bit hardware encryption to keep your files secure.
Absolutely. This drive is designed for the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, so it will run at its full rated speed on any motherboard that supports that standard. It is also backward compatible with older PCIe slots, though performance will be limited by the speed of the older interface.
