★★★★☆
Great Performer - Not for Everyone
**1TB Version** This generation, Samsung used 3-bit TLC flash instead of the 2-bit MLC used on the 970 Pro. This still results in superior IOPS, Read/Writes. I did three runs back to back for a quick torture test and the results are pretty close to what was advertised other than the IOPS. Those were underwhelming compared to Samsung's claims of 1000k versus the 700k achieved. Premium price aside, I would suggest this to anyone moving lots of data around frequently and/or want the latest and greatest Samsung has to offer in the Gen. 4 NVME space. Alternatively, the 970 Evo Plus is excellent for those looking for a less expensive but well performing Gen. 3 NVME. Can't go wrong with either. FYI: Operating System load times and responsiveness will vary depending on your PC's specifications and should be put into consideration when buying a high-end product like this one.
