Samsung 970 EVO 2TB NVMe SSD

The Samsung 970 EVO MZ-V7E2T0E is a 2TB internal solid state drive built for consumer PCs. It uses the M.2 2280 form factor and connects through a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.3 protocol. Samsung V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory and a Phoenix controller deliver sequential reads up to 3500 MBps and writes up to 2500 MBps.

Fits PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slots.

This drive suits users upgrading a system with a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 M.2 slot who want high endurance and strong random performance of 500,000 read IOPS and 480,000 write IOPS at QD32. Buyers building a new platform that wires the M.2 slot directly to a PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 CPU should look at a Gen 4 or Gen 5 drive to use the full bandwidth of that platform.

Sequential read up to 3500 MBps

The single specification that decides fit is the maximum sequential read speed of 3500 MBps, which marks the ceiling of the PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface. If your workload needs sustained throughput above that figure, this drive will bottleneck the task; if 3500 MBps meets your target, the 2TB capacity and 1,500,000-hour MTBF give ample space and reliability.

Questions about this item

Will this 2TB M.2 2280 drive fit my laptop or desktop motherboard?

The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor and requires an M.2 slot keyed for PCIe NVMe; check your device manual for slot length and keying compatibility.

What PCIe generation and lane count does the SSD need to reach its rated speeds?

It is designed for PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 and NVMe 1.3; the slot must provide four lanes to achieve the quoted sequential read and write figures.

How much power should my system budget for this SSD under heavy load?

Active power averages 6W with a maximum burst of 10W, while idle power is a maximum of 30 mW, so a standard M.2 power rail is sufficient.
