SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS MZ-V7S1T0BW 1TB M.2 2280 internal SSD

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe SSD

The Samsung 970 EVO Plus MZ-V7S1T0BW is a 1TB internal solid state drive built for tech enthusiasts, hardcore gamers and professionals who need unrivalled performance and superior reliability. It uses a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.3 protocol and Samsung V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory. The Phoenix controller is paired with 1GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM cache.

PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface limits

The drive connects through a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 link governed by the NVMe 1.3 specification. Sequential throughput caps at 3500 MBps read and 3300 MBps write. Random 4KB performance reaches 600000 IOPS read and 550000 IOPS write at QD32, dropping to 19000 IOPS read and 60000 IOPS write at QD1. Active power draw averages 6W with a 9W burst ceiling and 30 mW idle. Operating temperature spans 0°C to 70°C.

1TB capacity and 600 TBW endurance

The 1TB capacity provides ample space for operating systems, large game libraries and professional project files. Endurance is rated at 600 TBW, meaning the drive can absorb 600 terabytes of written data over its warranted life. MTBF is rated at 1500000 hours. Workloads exceeding sustained sequential writes or continuous high queue-depth random writes will hit the interface bandwidth ceiling and controller thermal limits before the NAND wears out.
