Always Evolving SSD
The top level 970 PRO | EVO Plus NVMe SSDs achieve unmatched performance
with Samsung's latest V-NAND technology and proven Phoenix controller for
tech enthusiasts, hardcore gamers, and professionals. Accelerate your computing with superior reliability, and best-in-class capacity for intensive workloads on PCs and workstations. The pinnacle of SSD performance is here.
· Sequential read/write speeds up to 3,500/2,700 MB/s respectively
· Industry-leading endurance up to 1,200 TBW
· Available in 512GB, 1TB capacities
· Sequential read/write speeds up to 3,500/3,300 MB/s respectively
· Available in 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB
· Intelligent TurboWrite technology for faster write speeds
The NVMe Difference
The Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) interface is
specically engineered to overcome constraints of
previous interfaces by increasing NAND ash storage
transfer speeds. Sequential speeds are approximately 6
times faster than SATA SSDs as NVMe enables your drive
to reach its full potential.
* Performance may vary based on drive’s rmware version, system hardware and conguration.

Fearless Performance
The 970 PRO | EVO Plus utilize the proven Phoenix controller
and Samsung's latest V-NAND. The 970 EVO Plus also has
rmware optimization to reach sequential read/write speeds
up to 3,500/3,300 MB/s, up to 53% faster than the 970 EVO.
The 970 EVO Plus is boosted by Intelligent TurboWrite which
uses a large buffer size up to 78GB to increase write speeds.
* Up to 53 percent performance increase in sequential write speed for 250GB version.

Unparalleled Reliability
Minimize performance drops, while maintaining high performance.
The Dynamic Thermal Guard effectively manages overheating,
while the nickel-coated controller and thin copper-lm layered heat
spreader work together to dissipate heat during heavy workloads,
ensuring optimal reliability.
Flexible System Design
Build the ultimate high-end system. The 970 series comes in a wide
range of capacity options, from 250GB to 2TB on a single-sided
SSD in the compact M.2 (2280) form factor. The faster 970 EVO Plus
speeds bring improved power efciency.
