Yes, I agree, mr samsung....... 600 writes is pathetic.

Perfect storage expansion for my PS5!
I've purchased two of these drives, both in the 2TB capacity, to expand our PS5 consoles. The PS5 comes with an empty storage bay that you can add your own SSD to. The requirements for this expansion drive are very specific, including that it must have a heatsink attached, and the Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVME M.2 SSD fulfills those requirements admirably. Since we installed the 2TB drives, which are twice the storage capacity of the drive that comes with the PS5, we set our consoles to install new games to the Samsung drives in the expansion slots. Every game and app we've used on this drive performs flawlessly. I highly recommend this drive to anyone who needs an M.2 SSD, but especially for anyone looking to expand the storage in their PS5.

Great High Capacity NVMe SSD
I bought this item a couple months ago, getting a great price buying it through Samsung directly, and with 2 day shipping. Installation was easy and with the free Samsung migration software very easy to transfer everything from my original NVMe before I installed my new Samsung NVMe. Operation has been fast and flawless since I installed it.

I replaced the 256GByte SSDD in my Mac Pro Desktop (late 2013) with this Samsun 2TB SSD to gain space for addition Pro Recording Studio recording software, associated libraries, as well as a large iTunes audio library. Installation was straight forward, We used Apples Time Machine to restore original Mac OS and files. We now have plenty of expansion space and gained improved performance as well. Great upgrade and highly recommended.

It’s Hot!
I own 4 SSD’s NvMe. (2) 500GB, (1) 1TB, and (1) 2TB. I have received flawless performance from all of them. The 2TB SSD runs hot though. This according to Samsung’s Magician. It would’ve been nice if between the laptop MFR (HP) and Samsung, someone would’ve left an extra few millimeters of space for a heat sink.
It still works fine but I can’t imagine it does it any good to run hotter than what’s recommended…I have the other (3) SSDs installed in the same laptop and they run cool(er). I also have another (1) TB Samsung SATA (QVO) in a different laptop. It runs well also.
All-in-all, I’d have to say I’m satisfied…

This drive is very nice.
I purchased this ssd a few years ago, and it has worked flawlessly since. I've not had a bit of problem from it so far, and I think it's been about a couple years now, or just over. At first, I wasn't sure about ssd's longevity, and reliability, shortly after installing it, it ended up being my main drive. I still back up important things to another drive because that's just common sense in case it were to fail one of these days, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Fantastic for a high powered work station!
I bought this a few months ago while on sale, and I'm glad I did. At 2TB, it's got more than enough storage space to let me comfortably fit all of my games, and load speeds that make it a breeze to load just about anything. As I've started working from home and work in video editing, eventually even 2TB may not be enough, and when that day comes I'm planning to get a matching SSD!

3x 2TB 970 EVO Plus in Raid0
installed 3 2tb samsung evo plus in raid0 in my msi gt76 titan dt-039 4k notebooks as 6tb system drive. i love having one large 6tb nvme ssd in raid0 as my system drive. using msi gt76 titan notebooks intel rapid storage software set the 3 2tb samsung evo plus in raid0 array. not as fast as a single 2tb samsung 970 evo plus would be but close enough & having a large system drive is nice. 3x 2tb in raid0 still gets over 3400 mb/sec read & over 3000 mb/sec write. love these even though samsung magician only recognizes them as raid0 drives w/ no smart support but does support running disk performance benchmark.

Really good performance for its price
For $199 plus tax, I would say the 2TB Samsung 970 evo plus is really good for it's price. It's a better value than sata ssd's of the same value and price. It's a couple less cables to deal with which is nice.
Arrived pretty quickly and box was in good condition, barely any scratches or scuffs. Unboxing it, you get the drive itself; I was very surprised to see how small NVME really is compared to SATA.
Installation was relatively painless; make sure your MB has an m.2 slot that supports pcie 3.0 x4. I used windows disk management to format the drive and used samsung migration to move OS and all my data onto this new drive, then downloaded samsung magician for further utility. I recommend downloading the NVME driver from samsung's website as when you install the drive for the first time, it uses microsoft's nvme drivers. Downloading the samsung drivers provided a small boost to all stats as seen above.
Drive runs relatively warm but not hot with my use. It idles around 45-52c and when gaming, it's between 55-65c without a heatsink on it.
Gaming on it is a beast, load times are very fast and very little stuttering in games, especially compared to HDD's and Dramless ssd's. Downloads are very fast as well.
One thing to note, it's been know samsung has made revisions of their 970 evo plus drives to have the elpis controller which is found on the 980 pro; that has slightly worse sustained writes when doing heavy workloads. My 2TB which has P/N MZVLB2T0HALB, has the old phoenix controller which is slightly better all round, drive was made in 2021 11 03 in Thailand.

Great SSD but way too expensive as is.
Worked very well for me my only complaint is just the price. Even with promotions it is still pretty expensive to consider. This wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't a frequent gamer and most games require 60-100gb each. It loses just one star for that conundrum and sadly that's just going to be the case until the technology is able to be produced constantly and with less expensive materials.
Otherwise, I do see a major difference in games especially Final Fantasy 14. Moving from one area to the next took 2 seconds to load compared to the 20 or so seconds I waited. However if I was to recommend this, I say just get a smaller size if you only want to boot in windows and are on a budget. Otherwise if you want some seconds shaved off for a handful of games then I say to grab this.

Solid performance good price. Reason for 4 stars is that upgrading to this drive necessitated a clean windows install as samsung magician had an error related to the old ssd. This being an m2 drive however mitigates even that incontinence as reinstalling all software (nearly 1.5tb) took only a few hours.

This is more expensive then many other brands, but I find the Samsung EVO has a better long term reliability. A real (with moving parts) Hard Disk Drive will last as long as it's mechanically available, but a SSD has a built in limited lifespan. That's where that extra cost comes in. Samsung has one of the longest life typically. Great drive, fast, easy install.

Pricey, but great!!!
i bought the 2tb version. the 970 evo plus is fast. got 3000+ mbps read and write performance on my laptop. i don't think i need to say anything else because samsung ssds already have a reputation for being the best ones out there.
however, i do feel like the pricing on these drives is a little high. normally, i wouldn't spend upwards of $300+ on a 2tb nvme ssd, but then again, that's the price to get the best-in-class storage. fyi: competitors usually cost a hundred bucks cheaper for the same storage option. they're great budget options, but won't be as fast as samsung.
