![]() Samsung's 3D-NAND technology is built to endure 150TB (TBW) for the 250GB model which equals to about 82GB per day for 5 years. That's why you see now Samsung advertising its unique features such as Intelligent TurboWrite as a selling point Other companies such as Western Digital are catching up to Samsung's SSDs in performance and Performance limits of the PCIe 3.0 x4 bus. Samsung without a doubt dominates the SSD market and the 970 series NVMe SSDs are nearing the Random 4K (QD32) read speeds is rated for up to 370K IOPS and 450K IOPS for random 4K (QD32) write speeds. Samsung advertises the 970 Evo 500GB with sequential read speeds of up to 3400 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 2300 MB/s. Will help with compatibility between the user’s system and the Samsung 970 Evo SSD.įor example, through the use of the Samsung NVMe Driver 3.0, it becomes possible to operate the 970 Evo with Windows 7. With the release of the 970 SSDs, Samsung is also launching the Samsung NVMe Driver 3.0, which ![]() Intelligent TurboWrite technology which accelerates sequential read and write speeds. The Phoenix controller has 5 cores, which is the same as the Polaris controller used in 960 Evo and also has one dedicatedĬore to improve communication between the host system and the controller.įeature-wise, the 970 Evo comes with hardware encryption, TRIM support, garbage collection and enhanced Samsung is using the new Phoenix controller with their 970 Evo SSDs. SATA 6 Gbps standard which is around 530MB/s read and 500MB/s write while NVMe SSDs on the other hand are able to provide read/write speedsĪs high as 3500MB/s read and 2500MB/s write. When an SSD uses the AHCI interface, that means that the read/write speeds will be limited by the bandwidth of the NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a new hardware protocol for SSDs designed to replace AHCI.ĪHCI is an old hardware interface that was created back in the days when hard drives were popular but it's also used today with modern SATA SSDs Samsung is shipping their 970 Evo series in the M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe x4 (four lanes of bandwidth) form factor. In this review, we will focus on the 970 Evo 500GB model that retails for $200 on Amazon. Provides higher performance and write endurance than its predecessor. ![]() Samsung's 960 series SSDs uses a 48-layer NAND while the newer 970 series uses the company's latest 64-layer NAND which The biggest difference between the 960 and 970 series SSDs is the NAND. Samsung's latest SSDs offers improvements in speed, reliability, endurance and capacity compared to the previous generation. Similar to the 960 series, the new 970 series comes in two flavors, the Evo models which are targeted at mainstream usersĪnd the Pro models for enthusiasts and professional users. SSDs that were released more than two years ago. About a month ago, Samsung released the 970 Evo and 970 Pro SSDs which are the successor to the popular 960 Evo and 960 Pro
