Samsung 970 EVO Plus Series NVMe M.2 SSDs deliver outstanding performance in Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe), with exceptionally fast sequential speeds outperforming our standard 970 EVO models. Plus, Samsung's Magician software solution provides advanced functionality for you to manage, monitor and maintain your drive.
• NVMe speeds up sequential read/write performance, while Samsung TurboWrite technology accelerates write speeds even further
• Compact M.2 form factor ready for high-end computing
• Samsung Magician software for SSD management, including automatic firmware updates
• Ideal for high-performance client PC applications (not designed for server or data center applications and warranty does not support such usage)
Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe)
970 EVO Plus 250GB NVMe SSDs with a newly enhanced Phoenix controller outperform our standard 970 EVO 250GB model with exceptionally fast sequential read/write speeds up to 3,500/3,300 MB/s. They also support PCI Express® (PCIe) Gen 3 x 4 lanes to provide high bandwidth and low latency, making them perfect for business professionals who need cutting edge-performance for high-end computing.
TurboWrite Technology
Samsung’s intelligent TurboWrite technology helps to maximize your computing ability, accelerating write speeds above and beyond the already exceptionally fast speeds of NVMe.
