Samsung 970 EVO Plus 250GB NVMe SSD

The Samsung 970 EVO Plus MZ-V7S250BW is a 250GB internal solid state drive built for consumer desktops and laptops. It uses V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory and a Samsung Phoenix controller to deliver NVMe performance over a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface.

M.2 2280 form factor with PCIe Gen 3.0 x4

The drive fits a standard M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 lanes. A 512MB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM cache buffers write bursts. Idle power draw is a maximum of 30 mW, while active consumption averages 5W with an 8W burst ceiling, keeping thermal load modest for compact builds.

250GB capacity with 150 TBW endurance

Sequential reads reach up to 3500 MBps and writes up to 2300 MBps. Random 4KB performance hits 250,000 IOPS read and 550,000 IOPS write at QD32, dropping to 17,000 and 60,000 IOPS at QD1. The 150 TBW rating and 1,500,000-hour MTBF define the write endurance and reliability envelope for this capacity.

Questions about this item

How long can the 970 EVO Plus sustain its 3500 MB/s read speed before thermal throttling begins?

The controller and V-NAND are rated to operate up to 70 °C; sustained full-speed reads will throttle once the drive reaches that temperature.

What are the noise, heat and power characteristics when the SSD runs all day?

The drive has no moving parts so it is silent; active power averages 5 W with an 8 W burst ceiling, and the operating range tops out at 70 °C.

What motherboard slot and protocol are required for this M.2 2280 NVMe drive to work?

A motherboard with an M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe 3.0 x4 and NVMe 1.3 support is required.
