Samsung 970 EVO Plus

Decimal capacity; formatting and system use reduce available space.

Match the physical format and electrical interface to the host.

Host support and available lanes determine operation; interface generation is not an application-performance result.

Capacity row lists onboard LPDDR4 DRAM. Having DRAM is not a measured performance result.

Samsung lists these as maximum dimensions. This version has no factory heatsink. · Manufacturer dimensions; confirm installation clearance.

Manufacturer calls this 3-bit MLC: three bits per cell, also called TLC. This is not two-bit MLC.

Manufacturer's stated DRAM cache capacity for this storage capacity.

This BW configuration has no factory heatsink; follow the host's cooling requirements.

Current page and revision 3 PDF identify only an in-house controller. Revision history says the controller name was removed; no fixed commercial codename is assigned.

Capacity LPDDR4 DRAM size; not the variable TurboWrite write-buffer capacity.

Official thermal features. Not a factory heatsink enclosure or measured temperature advantage.

UK capacity-specific maximum drive mass, not packaging.

Samsung IOmeter 1.1.0 claims: Core i7-7700K, 32 GB DDR4, ASUS Prime Z270-A, Windows 10 build 10240. Writes use Intelligent TurboWrite; peak rates depend on firmware, host, workload and cache state.

Samsung IOmeter 1.1.0 claims: Core i7-7700K, 32 GB DDR4, ASUS Prime Z270-A, Windows 10 build 10240. Writes use Intelligent TurboWrite; peak rates depend on firmware, host, workload and cache state.

Samsung IOmeter 1.1.0 claims: Core i7-7700K, 32 GB DDR4, ASUS Prime Z270-A, Windows 10 build 10240. Writes use Intelligent TurboWrite; peak rates depend on firmware, host, workload and cache state.

Up to, 4 KB QD32 / four threads; IOmeter 1.1.0, Core i7-7700K / ASUS Prime Z270-A, 32 GB DDR4, Windows 10 build 10240. Writes require TurboWrite.

Up to, 4 KB QD32 / four threads; IOmeter 1.1.0, Core i7-7700K / ASUS Prime Z270-A, 32 GB DDR4, Windows 10 build 10240. Writes require TurboWrite.

Up-to QD1 / one-thread value for this capacity under the manufacturer performance test setup. Not measured application latency.

Up-to QD1 / one-thread result with Intelligent TurboWrite under the stated manufacturer setup. The 2 TB model's 62,000 IOPS figure does not apply to this 1 TB model.

Peak write claims require the buffer. Samsung does not list the buffer capacity or post-cache write speed.

Capacity-specific warranty write threshold, not a guaranteed failure point.

Time limit, not predicted lifespan; coverage also ends at the TBW threshold and is subject to full terms.

Manufacturer coverage is subject to purchase eligibility and applicable terms. A used drive may have less coverage left.

Application class, not universal system/console compatibility.

Statistical claim, not an individual lifespan or warranty.

1 TB column, IOmeter 1.1.0 on i7-7700K, 16 GB DDR4-2133, Gigabyte GA-Z270X, Windows 10 Pro K x64. This differs from the 32 GB performance host. Idle requires autonomous power-state operation; not constant household-use loads.

UK page maximum burst-mode claim; distinct from average active, idle or constant use.

UK electrical requirement, not sufficient proof of host compatibility.

The regional page supports device sleep. Host support is required; the separately published L1.2 power state is not measured laptop battery life.

The regional page labels a system-level average and a burst maximum. Hardware/configuration affect consumption. These are distinct from active read/write and idle/sleep states and are not a constant everyday load.

Manufacturer capabilities, not encryption enabled by default or every-host support.

Requires operating-system support as stated by manufacturer.

Monitoring capability, not predicted remaining life.

Listed internal function.

Manufacturer feature block lists monitoring and software/firmware updates. OS/version support and feature prerequisites require separate checking.

Product page states WWN unsupported.

Measured by the drive's S.M.A.R.T. temperature; Samsung recommends adequate airflow.

PDF non-operating range; distinct from operation. Samsung lists −45 °C for this model, lower than the −40 °C of most Samsung drives.

Manufacturer specifies non-condensing conditions. This environmental range is not waterproofing or an IP rating.

Manufacturer non-operating claim, not a device drop test.

Manufacturer frequency/rating; results from different test protocols are not directly comparable.

No installation kit is included.

Samsung does not state this for this model. · Samsung does not list a bundled cloning tool for this model. Magician monitoring and firmware updates alone do not confirm migration support.
