Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe M.2. SSD review





Samsung recently outed a Plus edition of the 970 M.2. EVO drives. All new though is a move towards a 2 TB unit, which we review today. AS IF they were not fast enough, they improved writes allowing R/W up to 3500/3300 MB/s thanks to the latest 3bit written NAND and a new Phoenix controller.

Speed is great and blah blah blah but how about reliability?
Consumer SSDs still lose data after sudden power loss!
Don't believe me?

Its frustrating that no one doing reviews runs that simple test...
It would be nice if you where the first one to consistently test it Hilbert, be our hero!!!
If you don't want data to be lost/corrupted on sudden power loss then disable write caching (you will lose performance by doing so but it will prevent data corruption). I do this for my BOINC drive so that I don't lose computing progress on brown/blackouts.

Yes, its cheap but its slower then all modern NVMe drives, it will be faster then SATA SSD and its cheaper then 2Tb SATA so in this case it great.
But the main purpose for this drive is Data/File/Games, its not speed or longivity
Nope. It's slower than many SATA drives in most metrics.

All this silly rant... just get entry level UPS for like 100-150€.
