Review: All good, works after years, in harsh. - Got it for quite few years. Works fine. 60TB load on 500GB drive. Quite impressive. 98% life as reported by drive. Real or not. Time will tell. Full speeds as advertised. However. On the RIGHT drivers. Windows 7 heavily affected by driver quality/ source. Full speed constant 3000+ reads. Writes varies around NOT CONSANT 2000. HOWEVER. Drive's real (write) speeds are ONLY present, when it is been written at least ONCE, and with capacity reached. And overheating. No cooling - forget about any speeds. Reminder. Cooling applies to physical DRIVER chip of the drive, NOT the NVME modules. Driver on the drive wants cool. NVME wants the hot in operation. Hot driver chip will bring down drive to zero stop. ZERO. For several seconds/ minutes. This should be clear in every description. So. Testing must be done on ALL drive, written at least once, and with majority of capacity used. Love - as usually - when people do 0.01% drive size test, as any indication. And on fresh drive. Many of the drives CHEAT. Means. First portion of drive, which is tested is ultra fast, either physically or buffer. Mostly sd cards/ usb drives/ etc. But. Got Crucial nvme first, and it does exactly the same. 10GB ultra fast, then drops down to 1000 for the REST of the drive. As oppose most SSDs will perform 100% all drive day and out. So. Once you REALLY use the drive. Means written, not once, but several times, and used more capacity, drives starts to show REAL LIFE speeds. If you delete a file. Windows MUST physically delete a lot of drive. Not just entry in File allocation table. It will not do it in an instant, but on buffer. Try to switch off computer after deleting/ copying big files, and you wait for several minutes. Try to do massive files deletion, beyond treshold and windows has to do it here and now. For ages. Normally you won't notice, because it's all in background. On long switch on systems, absolutely not noticable. Try to copy serious data on maxed out drive, and you are for a big surprise on real speeds. Because majority of people get massive drives, to what they use, they won't notice. Paying several times for what they use. On Windows 7, due drivers and structure, massive bottle necks on writes. It's much more complicated than just 'test' or 'use', or capacity, or deletion. There is massive bottle necks on pcie resource allocation. If you have fast graphic card in use, your nvme drive is heavily bottlenecked. Only very expensive motherboards have this semi sorted. For majority of people, none of this would matter, they won't notice. But. For those who REALLY get NVMEs for the purpose, it does. Ah yes. Final word for all that lovely misinformation about defraging ssd/ nvme. It does indeed decrease drive's life, by zero point nothing. It does however increase the performance. For regular person, by zero point nothing. For serious use, servers, high capacity data storing, professional high speeds copying, for which all these drives are meant to exist, it does completely. Drives ssd/ nvmes have 'lost capacity', not shown on the tag, exactly for the purpose of internal 'defrag', on idle mode. Use the drive heavy in short bursts and speeds are dropping down. To zero. As drive has to operate on 'loss of power mode'. So. Hard lesson. With power loss or forced resets. Lots of data 'lost', because drive couldn't write it physically on time. As it takes a long while to zero data blocks, and then write tons of data from buffer. So. Defrag of ssds/ nvmes. You can defrag your drive as much as you please. And it will be zero point nothing of drive use. Windows uses drive endlessly and massively and constantly. Reads are not hurting. Writes are where drive's life is. And any windows writes trillions of times. I'm light user of pc. And my 500gb drive has 60'000gb of reads and writes (half half). Majority of which is Windows. Not me. So. If you are doing defrag, whenever you please, you will allocate for zero point nothing of drive's use. 99.9% of drives killing is done by windows. And hm.... Afer quite few years of using drive, and 60'000gb it's still 98% of life, as reported by drive. Real or not. Time will tell. Means you can use drive for 20 years before it will be dead. Majority of people will change drive a lot earlier than that (hdd 3-6 years, ssd 5 years at best, nvme first generation probably few years). In other words, defrag has completely no meaning to drive's life. Zero. It does have serious meaning to performance for serious - designed for - use. And for regular user. Exactly the bottleneck of capacity used and non defraged system, where drive will bottleneck in zeroing data and writing new one. Reading my own words, only high level IT people will understand. Thou - every user is affected, but is not aware. When copied tons of data, deleted tons of data, etc, thinking it's done, when bar is 100%. Reality, windows can still clear the data, hours after instruction, same with copying. Only exception is read only data in big files. Like movies. But then. How many users have data stored in adequate partitions. Read/ write/ rare/ often/ movies/ system/ etc. Review: Everything as smooth as silk - What can I tell you? I've given it 5 stars because, so far, the whole operation of purchase, delivery, installation, installation of OS, and use, has been as smooth as silk. I decide to build a new desktop DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) to run Ableton Live 10. And with the intention of connecting multiple audio and MIDI devices. I bought this Intel Mini PC from desertcart https://www.desertcart.co.uk/gp/product/B07KPMWTQS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . It's bare bones so needed a hard drive, memory, operating system and all the peripherals. I chose an M.2 type SSD after reading up on the internet about keeping down the heat generation and about operating speed. I chose this RAM for the same reason: https://www.desertcart.co.uk/gp/product/B01BNJL8I4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. For installation, I followed the instructions supplied by Intel (on the web). It was simple enough, and quickly done. But I did take the precaution of wearing an anti- static wrist band and earthing myself to the Mini PC chassis. Installing the OS on the drive was also just a case of following the bouncing ball. This OS was a great price at the time and it came supplied with Windows 10 on a USB key: https://www.desertcart.co.uk/gp/product/B0111YEG44/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But a much cheaper OEM version would do just as well. The PC boots up and Ableton opens up, all incredibly quickly. Installing any new USB device seems to happen in seconds. So I'd say the drive is working well with the PC and the RAM. Before I jacked up the permanent speed of the processor to around 4.45 Ghz from the standard 2.7Ghz, I don't think the PC fan operated at all, so I'd say, it's really not generating that much heat. So it's been one of those delightful (but sadly rare) experiences, when having chosen the product, then fitting it and using it just went very smoothly. I only have one pic, which shows the Mini PC itself... that measures a little over 10x10x5 cms and provides plenty of room for this M.2 SSD - I even have a Sandisk 2.5" SSD drive in there to hold my library files and it's certainly not "crowding" the Samsung. ## Features - SSD with V-Nand technology Samsung .

Personally I use this drive for multiple virtual machines where it seems to be more responsive when booting, installing or performing disk heavy I/O. I could manage just fine on a SATA model, but this NVMe causes the VMs to feel more snappy and responsive in this scenario. Outside of this specific workload, the drive feels similar to my SATA SSDs since my other tasks are not usually limited by storage performance. After all, SATA solid state drives are already significantly faster and have very low latency compared to spinning rust (hard drives). Benchmarks were ran on my Ryzen 2700X system with an Asus Crosshair X470 motherboard. Due to being so compact and fast, these drives can get hot. Under heavy sequential write workloads these drives can get toasty and potentially throttle. Running CrystalDiskMark with default settings saw a peak temperature of 64C (22C ambient, installed in desktop but with no active airflow). I suspect that in a restrictive environment, such as a laptop, that throttling could possibly be common in heavy workloads. Packaging is good. Small cardboard box with a plastic shell protecting the SSD drive. It did not come with a screw to install the drive though as these are usually included with your motherboard. Very easy to install with no cables needed. Samsung magician software is also decent and easy to use with a clean design. I have tried a range of tools from other manufacturers but the Samsung software is a clear winner. It isn’t necessary, but it allows you to benchmark the drive, set overprovisioning, secure erase and more. Also make sure to install the Samsung NVMe driver from their website for optimal performance. As for Amazon, I have a mixed experience. The first drive I ordered was stolen (broken security seal and drive missing) but they quickly arranged a replacement without any hassle. The product itself though is fantastic. ## Frequently Bought Together - Samsung 970 EVO Plus MZ-V7S500BW | Internal NVMe M.2 SSD, 500 GB, Up to 3,500 MB/s Sequential Read - Corsair VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16 Intel XMP 2.0 Computer Memory - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) - AMD Ryzensets 5 5600G processor ( integrated Radeon Graphics, 6 Cores /12 Threads, 65W DTP, AM4 Socket, 19MB cache, up to 4.4 Ghz max boost, wraith stealth cooler) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/100492100-samsung-970-evo-plus-mz-v7s500bw-internal-nvme-m-2](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/100492100-samsung-970-evo-plus-mz-v7s500bw-internal-nvme-m-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
