Amazing technology
I wanted the 960 series so bad but kept waiting for a price drop that never came. Now with the newer and better 970 series, I pulled the trigger and purchased one. This is the first time I’ve actually got my hands on an NVMe drive. I always thought they were about the size of RAM, but they are closer to a stick of gum in size.
I can’t believe how small they are. Installation is easy as long as you can get to it. In my case it’s between PCIe slots so I had to remove my graphics card to install it. The BIOS saw it right away, then I simply used free partition-copying software to transfer the logical partitions and MBR to from my 750 EVO to my new Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW.
Then I set BIOS to boot from the new “stick of gum” and disabled the others. As a final step I removed drive letters from the two reserved partitions on the boot drive and reformatted the old boot drive to a blank GPT.
I can definitively tell a difference when loading applications with a large footprint compared to the SATA-based SSD. I was hoping to see a noticeable difference in boot-time-to-desktop, but it’s hard to tell. But when moving from Samsung SSD to faster Samsung SSD, trying to notice time savings is like splitting hairs. At this price point the Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW drive is worth every penny.
BenchMark of Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW
Edit: Included a benchmark. 2,759 MB/sec write, and 2,313 MB/sec read. If you remember 3.5″ floppies, this is like reading 1915 diskettes every second.
Edit2: After realizing that I wasn’t getting the rated speed (which no one will probably actually see), I started to look into it and I made sure that I had the latest BIOS update, the latest chipset and storage drivers, and the Samsung NVME driver. After doing all that, I re-ran the benchmark and now I’m over the 3000 MB/sec mark! It’s fast out of the box but with proper setup the Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW can be much faster!

DIY Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW
This article will solve most of your doubts (If not all) regarding Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW
and how to install it and DIY in the home without anyone’s help.
This is the best NVME SSD available in the market and if you have the money to spend on the Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW then go for it. It is the best.
Now talking about compatibility yes it is compatible with all laptops which are having M.2 NVME slot and having M keying. M keying means it will be having a single notch on the PCI-E slot as well as on the SSD.
For this review and youtube video, I am using the Asus FX553VD laptop which is beast and have the best configuration available in the market.
So talking about compatibility it is compatible with all modern laptop having M.2 PCI Express slot and the popular Laptop list is below.
Installation Part 2:
Well if you want you can even clone your older windows onto this Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW without losing anything ( every program and setting will work same as it was on the older HDD ) using Samsung Data Migration software which is free and It will work flawlessly, although if possible go for a clean install as it will improve system performance.
You can still use your previous HDD without any doubt as normal storage and this Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW is very well detected in bios so no issue on that.
Also talking about boot time it has reduced to one – third than my previous 7200 rpm hard disk which took around 16 seconds to boot.
Apart from that major changes, you will see when you open browsers like chrome and Mozilla which will open instantly and also if you are doing editing stuff then opening time of Programs like Premiere Pro, Lightroom, Photoshop, After effects take very less time and work very well.
The rendering time is really awesome earlier for a 5-minute full HD video was taking around 30 to 40 minutes which has been reduced to 5- 10 minutes which is a huge improvement and I really love that.
So if you really want blazing fast speed then this Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW is for you and is worth for every paise you spent.
Also, the benchmark test results can be found in photos.
EVO SSD 1TB BUYING QUESTIONS
How does the 500gb 970 Evo compare to the 500gv 960 Evo in regards to gaming?
What’s the difference between this one and the 960 pro?
The primary difference between the Pro and the EVO is the Pro uses MLC (Multi-Level Cell) whereas the EVO uses a Triple Level Cell.Case and point with the EVO. You can get a 2tb EVO drive but the Pro tops out at 1tb. The silicon is able to get more storage space for the real estate with TLC. On the other hand MLC is more reliable and more hearty than TLC which is why the Pro is using the MLC.Maybe you want to know about write endurance. One thing to keep in mind about write endurance is you will probably never come close to hitting it’s limits unless you are using the drive all the time to save and load large files like a professional would. Also, the write endurance of the Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW is double the write endurance of the 512gb 970 Pro. hardware review sites and done tests of the actual write cycle longevity of these drives and these drives last longer than what they’re rated for. More than likely in your case, these drives will be long obsolete by the time they’re half worn out.
WRITE SPEEDS
The write endurance of the 500gb Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW is 300TB write cycles. Sequential R/W of the Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW is 3400MB/s read and 2300MB/s write. I believe the 970 evo uses a Single Level Cell cache to boost write speeds.
The write endurance of the 512gb 960 Pro is 400TB/wc. Sequential R/W of the 960 Pro is 3500MB/s read and 2100MB/s write
The 970 series is more refined. Both use the updated Phoenix controller whereas the 960 series uses the Polaris controller.
Both the 960 Pro and 970 EVO have a 5 year warranty. The older 960 EVO only has a 3 year warranty.
The answer to this question between the 960 Pro and 970 Evo is simple……….. get whichever is cheaper.
Hi i have questions on how the better Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW or wd black 250gb high-performance nvme PCIe gen3 8 Gb/s m.2 2280 ??
Reviews have suggested that the two drives are VERY close in performance (nearly within the margin of error of tests). The WD Black gen3 devices were the first ones to actually challenge the 960 EVO NVMe drives for dominance of the high-performance consumer-grade SSDs.
You can’t go wrong with either one, as far as I can tell, at least from reviews. They’ll provide insignificant differences in speed/performance between the two. Therefore, you should purchase based on price and (if it’s important to you) warranty. Note also that the WD drive caps at 1TB in size (vs. 2 TB for the 970 EVO), so if you wanted to go that route, there’s only one choice.
As far as “best high-performance consumer-level” NVMe drive, the Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB MZ-V7E1T0BW and the 3rd generation WD black are on an even playing field, and both at the top of the stack (this ignores the “prosumer” market devices like the 970 Pro where prices are much higher per gigabyte).
Note that it’s possible that you won’t notice any performance difference between these high-performance NVMe drives and, say, a high-quality SATA drive.
Does anyone know of an external enclosure for one of these?
How do you format this and why is that necessary for new drives? What stops me from plugging it right into my system and getting started?
