Samsung 970 PRO 512GB NVMe SSD

The Samsung 970 PRO MZ-V7P512E is a 512GB internal solid state drive using the M.2 2280 form factor. It connects via a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.3 protocol. The drive employs V-NAND 2-bit MLC memory and a Samsung Phoenix controller with 512MB of Low Power DDR4 SDRAM cache.

Suited for heavy client workloads not server use

This drive is designed for high-performance client PC applications and engineering workloads requiring fast sequential and random access. The supplier notes it is not designed for server or data centre applications and warranty does not support such usage. Buyers building enterprise arrays should look at drives rated for those environments.

Sequential read up to 3500 MBps

The maximum sequential read speed is rated at 3500 MBps with sequential write up to 2300 MBps. Random read reaches 370,000 IOPS at QD32 and random write reaches 500,000 IOPS at QD32. These figures determine whether the drive meets the throughput needs of the intended workload.

Questions about this item

Does the 970 PRO MZ-V7P512E come with a heatsink or mounting screw, or do I need to buy them separately?

The drive is supplied in a plain white box containing only the M.2 2280 module. A motherboard mounting screw and any heatsink must be sourced separately.

I see only the 512GB model listed; how do I decide if this capacity suits my workload?

At 512GB the drive delivers up to 3500 MBps sequential read and 2300 MBps sequential write with 512MB DDR4 cache, making it suitable for heavy client workloads and engineering applications.

What does the 3500 MBps sequential read figure mean once the SSD is installed in my PC?

It represents the peak throughput over the PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 link when reading large contiguous files; real-world speed depends on motherboard lane allocation, thermal conditions and the workload mix.
