Still lost in a crowd of better SSDs
However, it's not the NVMe SSD you should definitely buy. The XPG SX8200 Pro is still far better value, thanks to its lower per-gigabyte costs across its entire range of capacities. It may not be as fast as the 970 Evo Plus, but it's still very nimble, an...

9*-layer V-NAND technology, Overall Performance, 5 year warranty
We couldn't match Samsung's quoted maximum 4K random figures
The 970 EVO Plus sees the introduction of Samsung's latest generation of NAND, its 5th gen design, which increases the layer count of their 3-bit MLC V-NAND (TLC V-NAND) from the 64-layer of the fourth generation to 9*-layer for this new memory. Unusually...
Abstract: Why can't all PC hardware be like the Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD? Things would just be so much better. We wouldn't mind having constant, iterative releases of graphics cards if they were ever cheaper at launch. We honestly wouldn't mind a drop in demand and...

It's only 8 months since the initial release of the 970 EVO but already Samsung have somehow managed to push write speeds through the roof. We found an increase in all of our tests for the same capacity, some increases were smaller than others, but an inc...

The arrival in the market of the Corsair MP510 might well have been the catalyst for the relaunch of the Samsung 970 EVO in its Plus incarnation. Or, it was the knowledge that they could do better if they tried, maybe.Whatever the motivation, the new Sams...

Abstract: Samsung have been at the top of the SSD game for a while now, especially when the market made the jump to NVMe SSDs, where their 950, 960 and 970 Pro drives have really dominated their field. Of course, there's also the EVO versions, which are a bit slowe...
Solid overall performance, Black PCB, Excellent software package,
Could use further efficiency optimization
With better performance, efficiency, and lower MSRPs, Samsung's 970 EVO Plus is a big "plus" in almost every way over its predecessor. It rivals its bigger brother, the 970 PRO, and comes with a complete software suite, making the Samsung 970 EVO Plus a g...
