The Samsung 970 EVO is a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 internal SSD rated at up to 3,500 MB/s sequential read. It uses Samsung's Phoenix controller and 3-bit MLC (TLC) V-NAND with a DRAM cache, and it supports AES-256 encryption and TCG Opal 2.0. It suits desktop and laptop builds that need fast everyday storage and a drive that holds up under sustained writes. Against PCIe 4.0 drives it is slower on paper, but it runs cooler and is a solid fit for older boards that only support Gen3. Owners rate it as a dependable, well-known drive rather than a record-setter.
