Top specs

  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    PCI Express 3.0

    Connecting to the PCI Express expansion port of the motherboard. Equally popular way of connecting SSD hard drives directly to the motherboard. This connection offers the highest speeds.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Capacity

The golden ratio of cost and capacity for now is 500GB and 1TB.

For gaming or professional programs that require a lot of space for their installation, a capacity of at least 500GB is recommended. 

As an indication, a 1TB hard drive can hold about 250 thousand photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.

Form Factor

The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.


The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (such as high-definition video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for everyday use.

M.2 (Type 2280)
The motherboard must support the form factor in order for the SSD to be installed on it. It is worth noting that M.2 drives are divided into those that use the SATA protocol and those that use PCI Express. Of the SSDs that use the PCI Express protocol, most also support NVMe technology, which allows them even faster speeds if supported by the motherboard.

Maximum 4KB Random Write
500000 IOPS

Maximum 4KB Random Write

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk in data recording during general use, for example (opening the computer/using applications). The larger the size, the faster it is in these functions.

Average read speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 80,000 IOPS, while for one with NVMe it is 380,000 IOPS.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

    The only disadvantage of the disk is the price. If you have the money, don't think twice about it. The talk about Chinese and Korean disks is nonsense. The magician sees it perfectly from the first moment and I have even changed two motherboards due to upgrades. I have the Chinese one and it is flawless, it even achieves higher speeds than the ones stated, specifically 3564/2331 with z390 aorus pro. The temperature never goes above 40 as the motherboard has passive cooling for M.2. After a year and a half, I don't see any decrease in performance. Hopefully, it will withstand the test of time

    Excellent SSD. The best on the market. For those who complain about speed issues, know that speed is mainly affected by the rest of the system, especially the motherboard and processor. We install them in desktops and laptops, replacing other brands that are already installed, and customers are thrilled with the significant increase in speed and responsiveness.

Καλησπέρα, Μια ερώτηση έχω να κάνω.. Ποιά η διαφορά της 970 PRO και της 970 EVΟ?

thodoris_chrelias 2018-12-12
nido

Ταχύτατοι και οι δύο με 5 χρόνια εγγύηση, χρησιμοποιούν διαφορετικά V-NAND, ο PRO έρχεται σε ελαφρώς μεγαλύτερες χωρητικότητες (512GB αντί 500GB, 1024GB αντί 1000GB, κλπ) και έχει καλύτερες ταχύτητες (κυρίως εγγραφής). Ο EVO πάντως σε κάποιες μετρήσεις έχει ξεπεράσει τον προηγούμενο PRO (τον 960) που ήταν στην κορυφή των consumer NVMe Μ.2 για πολύ καιρό.

The magician sees it perfectly from the first moment and I have even changed two motherboards due to upgrades. I have the Chinese one and it is flawless, it even achieves higher speeds than the ones stated, specifically 3564/2331 with z390 aorus pro. The temperature never goes above 40 as the motherboard has passive cooling for M.2. After a year and a half, I don't see any decrease in performance. Hopefully, it will withstand the test of time

    Excellent SSD. The best on the market. For those who complain about speed issues, know that speed is mainly affected by the rest of the system, especially the motherboard and processor. We install them in desktops and laptops, replacing other brands that are already installed, and customers are thrilled with the significant increase in speed and responsiveness.

    The 970 Pro disk is very fast, but it is not Korean. It is Chinese and the Samsung magician does not recognize it
