Nice Upgrade

I was running a 960 PRO NVMe M.2 500GB in an M** Z370 Sli Plus. I ran short of storage space and added the 970 PRO NVMe M.2 1TB. I used the Samsung data migration tool to move everything over from the 960 to the 970 and now use the 960 as extra storage. The transfer was extremely fast from 960 to 970 and everything went well with no problems. I was really impressed by the 970. I did not think I would notice much difference, but wow, with the same bios settings for fast boot that the 960 was using, my boot time is crazy fast and read and writes, according to Samsung Magician, are much better than the 960.
I recommend this product and would purchase it again.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The hardware works well, Image transfer eh

I installed this Samsung 970 Pro m.2 SSD drive into an HP ZBook G3 17. Seems to work very well after several days. My system used to take over 9 minutes to boot from a cold start. It now is totally ready in about a minute and 45 seconds. I'm not sure if this HP takes full advantage of the drive, but it is a great improvement.
I used Active@ Disk Image software rather than the Samsung supplied software to transfer my files. I saw others used similar products for the transfer.
The problem I saw was that the Samsung transfer software ran on top of my regular Windows installation and it fairly cautioned me that any running programs (locked files) would not be copied. Since there are a lot of background operations running, I didn't know how I could be sure to get everything. I did not proceed.
The Active@ image software (and others) I used boots from a USB stick outside of Windows and does not have that restriction. After the transfer, I did have to boot from a recovery instance to make the UEFI GPT, (the new style partition table, system bootable, but that is not an issue with the Samsung drive at all, it's a Windows thing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great SSD!

This is simply the best drive I’ve ever purchased! I can hardly believe the speeds as it even exceeds the rated speeds according to both Samsung Magician and Crystal DiskMark. Super simple installation using Samsung’s data migration software, and the drive endurance rating is wow! No way I could ever come close to wearing this thing out. Samsung makes the best and fastest drives hands down!
Pros: Durable, reliability, fast

Great Performer

I bought this product a week ago. So far everything is zoom zoom. No lag in read and write speeds and all my programs are running super fast. I didn't think it would make that much of a difference considering that I already had a pretty fast computer. Now I can work across multiple task and still remain fast. It is pretty pricey, but you get what you pay for and its definitely worth it if you have the extra cash. I would recommend to anyone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Expensive but with speed to back it up

Posted by: IonParty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This SSD is blazing fast, sure its two times the price of a sata 1 TB SSD but its 5 times the speed on both reads and writes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 970 PRO is just the best there is for M.2 SSD's right now. Fast. I mean really fast. 3300 MB/sec read, 1100 MB/sec write in my system. Most programs open instantly. Truly great!

SSD 970 PRO NVMe M.2 1TB

Posted by: dnz dnz

Expertise:Intermediate
I see that the EVO version has the 2gb capacity. When will the 2gb for the PRO come out?
I apologize this is not a review but more of a question nevertheless I have no doubt this is a great product as I have owned 3 Samsung SSDs (2 of them NVMEs). Samsung is indeed a leader in this space.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pricey but AMAZING!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While this guy cost more than its competitors, it's faster and I feel the tools it offers are significantly better. I was hesitant to fork out this much money but relieved once you see it in motion. Prices on these have been dropping like crazy so definitely keep your eye out.
