If you want the world's best performing flash-based consumer SSD, then what you want is Samsung's 970 Pro.

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.

This memory is really fast, it transformed completely my laptop, and I haven't temperatura issues with it, but I recommended it more for heavy working than Gaming (witch is more useful a ssd tlc sata unit or a 970 evo). It is more durable than 970 evo, but it's also a bit slower and more expensive.

This thing is quite expensive but well worth it as it's amazingly fast & also for a much better price than some other sellers. Glad I eventually bought one (with no regrets) & I don't doubt for minute that it will last for me many years & get used in my future gaming pc builds.

Brought this a few days ago, easy to install on your motherboard, only slight niggle is that the pc may not actually pick it up as it will need to be formatted. All in all great piece of hardware, keeps boots and such very speedy.

A little on the higher priced side, but have used Samsung SSD's before and been very happy. This thing is lightning fast, and nice having a 5 year warranty, even though I'll probably not need it. It does get a little warm under heavy load, but I believe that is normal for these types of drives.

Been using Samsung SSD's in my computers for some time. Had too many problems with other brands, especially Intel SSD's.

Samsung's 970 Pro flagship SSD offers incredible performance, especially when it comes to writes, where it tops the charts with up to 2.4 GB/s because of MLC flash. Reads are even faster at 3.5 GB/s. If only the SSD was more affordable: $200 for 512 GB is not exactly cheap.

The Samsung 970 Pro is the Korean firm's latest attempt to maintain its position at the top of the SSD market – and, on paper at least, this drive is a barnstormer. Samsung's next SSD success may sound like a foregone conclusion after the last few years of dominance, but reality isn't that rosy.

Exceptional speed in all tests; Faster than the 960 Pro; Excellent endurance levels

Only minor gains over rivals; Expensive

The Samsung Pro line has remained as the unchallenged king of solid-state drives for the last few years. But recent contenders, like the WD Black NVMe SSD , have proven that Samsung can't sit on its laurels anymore. So, the company has delivered its fastest consumer drive ever: the Samsung 970 Pro.

The fastest SSD money can buy; Reliable for years; Substantially higher write speeds

Not much faster than rivals; Slightly pricier than competitors; Read speeds remain the same
