The 970 EVO Plus is Samsung's PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe drive in the M.2 2280 size, with 1TB of capacity and a DRAM cache. It is one of the fastest Gen3 drives made, with sequential reads around 3,500 MB/s, and it holds that speed better than most budget NVMe drives under sustained writes. It suits laptops and desktops with a Gen3 M.2 slot, and it is a sensible upgrade for anyone still on a SATA drive. Against newer PCIe 4.0 drives it gives up peak speed, but in everyday use and gaming the gap is small, and it runs cooler than many Gen4 rivals.
