THE SAMSUNG SSD 970 EVO The Samsung SSD 970 EVO is the 2nd generation of Samsung’s 3bit-MLC NVMe SSDs for client PC. The Samsung 970 EVO is specially designed for tech savvies, gamers & professionals who frequently work on video creation/editing or simulation that requires high workloads. Featuring the latest Samsung 3bit-MLC V-NAND technology & a newly enhanced Phoenix controller, the 970 EVO delivers unrivaled next level performance & exceptional reliability in a small M.2 2280 form factor, offering customers the most advanced Samsung SSD technology currently available for Client PCs. Next Level SSD Speed In combination with the latest Samsung V-NAND technology, powerful Phoenix Controller & upgraded Intelligent Turbo Write technology, the 970 EVO delivers stunning sequential read/write performance of up to 3, 500/2, 500 MB/s respectively & random performance of up to 500, 000/480, 000 IOPS for read/write respectively. Upgraded Intelligent Turbo Write technology uses a large buffer size of up to 78GB to enable faster sequential write speeds, which improves the user experience especially when transferring large files or using application which requires high-workloads. Unparalleled Reliability The 970 EVO boasts exceptional endurance with up to 1, 200 TBW, which is 50 percent higher than that of the previous model, thanks to the latest Samsung V-NAND technology.* Thermal control solutions enable enhanced performance with reduced heat risk. Dynamic Thermal Guard (DTG) technology proactively prevents overheating, & a heat spreader with an integrated thin copper film dissipates heat more efficiently. A new nickel coating on the Phoenix controller also helps to shed heat faster during heavy workload use in order to ensure the high levels of quality & reliability for which Samsung is known. The 970 EVO offers more time period of 5-year warranty versus that of 960 EVO. System Design Flexibility The 970 EVO enables convenient storage expansion across many different devices. The 970 EVO comes in a broad range of capacity options, including a single-sided 2TB version, made possible through Samsung’s latest 512 Gb V-NAND technology. In addition, the 970 EVO offers high power efficiency as well as exceptional speeds, making it the ideal solution to use with application ranging from ultra-thin computing to high-performance computing systems. Advanced Data Encryption The 970 EVO provides multiple advanced data encryption features. Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) security technology will help keep data safe at all times. The 970 EVO
Includes:: an AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption engine to ensure that your personal files remain secure. Being hardware-based, the encryption engine secures your data without the performance degradation that you may experience with software-based encryption. Also, the 970 EVO is compliant with various advanced security management solutions (TCG Opal & Encrypted Drive-IEEE1667). Samsung Data Migration & Magician Software The 970 EVO comes with Samsung Data Migration & Magician software, which is easy to install & makes management of your SSD simple.* Samsung Data Migration software is easy to use, yet provides a very powerful “ Custom Cloning” feature that makes migration effortless even when the amount of source data is greater than the SSD’s capacity. Magician provides personalized firmware checks & additional functionality tailored to the drives of individual users. It even updates the firmware automatically to make sure that the drive’s performance stays up to date. * To download Samsung Data Migration & Magician, please visit www.samsung.com/samsungssd Specifications Usage Application Client PCs Interface PCIe Gen 3.0 x 4, NVMe 1.3 Capacity 500GB Controller Samsung Phoenix Controller NAND Flash Memory: Samsung V-NAND 3bit MLC DRAM Cache Memory 1GB LPDDR4 Dimension Max 80.15 x Max 22.15 x Max 2.38mm Form Factor M.2 (2280) Sequential Read Up to 3, 400 MB/s Sequential Write Up to 2, 300 MB/s QD 1 Thread 1 Ran.
