Abstract: Last month Samsung introduced the 970 Series solid-state drives with the mainstream 970 EVO models and 970 PRO models for professionals/enthusiasts. The 970 Series moves to a 64-layer flash and uses a five-core Phoenix controller. For those curious about...
Testing the Samsung SSD 970 EvoThe SSD 970 Evo is the fastest M.2 SSD we have tested until now. At currently about 100 Euros (~$117; $108 in the US), the price for the 250 Gigabyte version is appropriate. The larger SATA SSD 850 Evo which is much slower i...
PCIe 3.0 x4 interface with NVMe protocol, Equipped with 3-bit MLC V-NAND technology, Available in 250GB, 500GB, 1TB and 2TB capacities, Excellent sequential and random read and write speeds, Performs equally well with compressible and incompressible data,
Can get hot under heavy workloads
With the 970 EVO, Samsung has proven once again that good things do come in small packages. Designed for tech savvy consumers, gamers and professionals, this compact, M.2 form factor SSD is powered by the same Phoenix controller found in the 970 PRO and i...
When Samsung launched 3D TLC NAND several years back, it was clear that it would become the ultimate mass market NAND product for the consumer market. While TLC NAND had quite a bit of challenges in the 2D planar NAND space in terms of performance and end...
The number of NVMe SSDs using TLC NAND Flash seems to be growing daily and is as competitive as we've ever seen it. Samsung has always had the TLC drive to beat, but over the past 18 months the 960 EVO saw other drives knocking at the door. Samsung really...
Affordable (relatively) NVMe drive, Very fast until off cache, Available in up to 2TB capacity
Slows to just over 600MBps after cache is exceeded, 250GB version is a much slower performer
This is a tough call that's mostly dictated on the performance differences at each capacity. In the 250GB and 500GB capacities, the WD Black NVMe has a slight edge for performance overall.At 1TB and 2TB, where the Samsung 970 EVO's larger cache greatly re...

The 970 EVO 1 TB delivered a more-than-competent performance throughout our test suite. If not for the 960 EVO's significantly better showing in our IOMeter synthetics, we'd likely be gushing over just how great a generation-to-generation improvement the...
The Samsung 970 EVO is an M.2 NVMe SSD aimed at mainstream users, but Samsung's grip on the industry-leading spots is starting to slip as the 970 EVO delivers an uneven performance profile with comparatively high price...

Samsung has lost ground to other emerging products. The 970 EVO is better than the previous-gen models, but other 64-layer SSDs are just as fast. The 1TB 970 EVO leads in features such as endurance, warranty, and software value-adds, but price-conscio...
