The best NVME SSD drive on the market, period!
on December 11, 2018
Posted by: BillAbba
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the quickest SSD I’ve ever owned. It not only meets, but exceeds its rated speeds in both Samsung’s excellent Magician software and CrystalDiskMark’s industry standard tests! I put it in my Dell XPS 8930 and cloned my old Samsung SSD drive in literally minutes. Using Samsung’s free Data Migration software, this was by far the fastest and easiest drive I have ever installed. It literally took me less than 10 minutes! Of all the SSD drives available, I’ve found Samsung’s to be the most dependable by far, and coupled with their excellent free software, you just can’t be beat their SSDs in my opinion.

Out of the box it was so much smaller than I expected. Like the size of a flash drive. Setup was a little difficult. I had to find the screw that came with my MOBO. Luckily I was able to. Then getting it screwed in took some patience. Once it was installed, cloning with the migration software was super simple. Restarted and changed my boot order, and I was up and running. First thing I did to test was load up PUBG. My load times went from 30s-1m down to less than 5s.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, I went overkill on my storage option but quality is quality. Speeds are as advertised and the software is very clean and simple.

Question about noise
on August 3, 2019
Posted by: Kaon
Expertise:Expert
I have noticed that my SSD 970 PRO NVMe M.2 512GB is making pretty loud high pitch crackling/whirring noises while in use. Is this normal? It's almost as annoying as a HDD.
I would recommend this to a friend!
