Title: Good Piece of kit
Review: Fast delivery, extremely speedy disc for chunky files, always loved Samsung for their discs. A bit of expensive than competition but quality speaks for itself hence the price 🙂 had 970 EVO for nearly 5 years and still running fine with NO MISSING Partitions or corrupted ones 🙂

Title: Easy to install, setup and does what it says
Review: With the increasing SSD prices I wanted to fill the last M.2 slot on my motherboard and wanted a decent SSD at a decent price and something fast and reliable. When this came up on offer it fitted all those criteria. Easy install which took minutes, at switch on Samsung Magician detected a new firmware was available. After the SSD setup in Disk Management which again took a minute to do and was very easy I updated the firmware and rebooted. I then did a few bench tests in Samsung Magician and getting approx 7439 Read and 6950 Write and temps of 26C and this is without any additional heatsink added. This last slot on my motherboard doesn’t have any compared to the other 2 slots.

Title: A nice upgrade for my laptop!
Review: I bought a nice laptop from HP, and even though it had good specs, the one thing that let it down was the Nvme drive. Not exactly the quickest. So when my Mrs had the sudden urge of kindness towards me, I took the chance and got her to order me one of these bad boys.Yes, it is fast. I got the 2Tb version which I have now installed Linux Mint onto it, as Windows 11 plays up so much you lose the benefit of having good hardware.Well worth it if your system can handle it.Highly recommended.

Title: Great SSDs, but the situation with Bitlocker isn’t ideal
Review: These Samsung SSDs offer great performance and reliability overall. The main issue is with how the self encryption works.From the factory they come with OPALv2 enabled, but not eDrive. So you can use sedutil or the BIOS to encrypt them, but not Bitlocker. To enable Bitlocker support you need to use Samsung Magician. The issue is that you need to run it under Windows, and then re-install Windows because it won’t recognize the drive as eDrive complaint until you do. Arguably more of a flaw in the way that Microsoft does things, but Crucial seem to be able to make both eDrive and OPALv2 available from the factory.Samsung drives are not cheap, but I expect them to last and have had good results in the past.

Title: Super Fast and transfer software is awsome
Review: I bought this for my OS drive on my PC. It is super fast and boots my PC within a couple of seconds. The transfer software that migrates the OS and data from my old drive to this was super cool and free to download. Instructions are in the box. You just need to creat a 100mb recovery partition if you don’t have on on the drive. Windows can create this for you so no additional software is needed.

Review: Un NVMe M.2 con rendimiento excepcional, tenia el modelo anterior (980 pro) y a pesar que son muy cercanos en cuestión de rendimiento, me gusto como se comporta el sistema con este modulo de memoria. En cargas de uso normal la temperatura se mantiene en 50 grados C, el discipador es un tanto delgado, supongo para que pueda usarse en PS5.la tasa de transferencia de copiado se mantiene alta en archivos de grandes por mas tiempo en comparación del modelo anterior, aunque yo se que un PCI e5 es mas rápido, la verdad es que en cuestión de costo-beneficio no te vas a arrepentir.La cajita llegó un poco maltratada porque solo le pusieron una bolsa de plástico al enviarla, por eso 4 estrellas.El producto en si es fenomenal. Lo recomiendo y lo volvería a a comprar.

Review: Having upgraded to the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB with Heatsink, I’ve experienced a blend of high-performance and a noteworthy cooling solution. The SSD’s speed is phenomenal, significantly reducing load times and enhancing overall system responsiveness.While the heatsink is a welcome addition, it might be a bit overkill for everyday users and could potentially lead to compatibility issues with some PC builds. Additionally, the price point is on the higher side, but the combination of top-tier performance and the added heatsink justifies the investment for those seeking a premium storage solution.Overall, the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB with Heatsink is a powerhouse for those who demand speed and appreciate the thoughtful addition of a cooling solution.
