The CPU arrived but the chip was loose inside the box. I could not install Windows 10 but was able to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. When I ran Chrome or Firefox under , the CPU kept hanging up. I changed to Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 DRAM 2133MHz (PC4 17000) C13 Memory Kit - Black, thinking may be memmory compabibil;ity from what I read on Youtube, web. But the problem still occured, can not install windows, kept on hanging when runing Chrome, FireFox under Ubuntu. Changed to G.SKILL Flare X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) AMD X370 Memory Model F4-3200C14D-16GFX. Same problem occrued. I changed the mem clock to from 1600-3200 for 3200 MHZ and 1600-2133 MHZ for 2133 MHZ and 1600-3200 for G.Skill. Same problem. Can not install Windows 10. hung when ran Chrome under Ubuntu. Hung when ran Geekbench when it run under multi core, single core is ok. I ran mem test and it was ok. Thinking the CPU was damage during ship, I ask for replacement and got one. When i installed in the system ansd ran with G.Skill, It was able to boot windows 10, Ubuntu and no problem.

I had to upgrade the BIOS to 1402 for the Asus Zenith to boot with 2950x.

Now it works very smoothly. It run fast!!!!,

Very happy with the unit.

The Best NVMe SSD on the market

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2018

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

The Samsung 970 Pro 1TB NVMe SSD is the best SSD on the market today. With the revised Samsung pricing been 130 dollars less than the original MSRP this SSD is now a very very good value. When you look at the performance and advantages of the 970 Pro over the 970 EVO and other SSDs on the market it becomes very clear this SSD is the best. First of all, the type of NAND the 970 Pro uses is different than almost any other SSD on the market. While almost every SSD on the market is made of 3-bit 3D NAND, the 970 Pro uses the much better 2-bit MLC V-NAND. This NAND has several advantages over 3-bit 3D NAND, much better performance, much better endurance, more reliable and the most important one, doesn't slow down like 3-bit 3D NAND does. Samsung has 5 years warranty on this drive, has the best support in the business and when you look at the overall picture, the Samsung 970 Pro is well worth the extra money over the 970 EVO in my opinion. The experience by using this SSD is awesome. Your PC feels so fast and responsive. I highly recommend that if you can spend the extra 100 for the 970 Pro just do it. The advantages are very clear. This is a wonderful wonderful SSD. 10/10.

Very happy with this high end NVME drive

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2018

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

I was going to wait for the 970 EVO 1TB to become available at MSRP but when I saw this one at its intended price I jumped on it. I was getting discouraged because after the launch of the Samsung 970 series, the 1 TB models seemed to be in short supply and if it was available, third party sellers were selling it well above MSRP. I previously had a 950 Pro 512GB drive that I purchased a couple a years ago and has served me well. Because of that, the transition to the 970 was very easy using the Samsung migration software. I had almost purchased a WD Black 1TB NVME drive at an unbelievable price but the seller ended up cancelling the sale. Regardless, I think I will be happier with this drive and it will be my OS drive for a very long time.
This drive isn't for everyone. I wanted the best there is so I decided to purchase but to be honest I don't notice much of a difference from the 950 Pro in real world operations and for that matter its not much different of an experience from the Samsung SATA SSD 860 that I recently purchased. If you are into benchmarks, you will notice the difference right away.

Before purchasing this I considered purchasing the HP EX920 1TB, the WD Black 1TB NVME, and the 970 EVO 1TB. If I had seen the 960 Pro 1TB at a deep discount, I may have ended up purchasing that. I think Samsung lowered their initial asking price for these 970 drives due to pressure from these other manufacturers.

The delivery was smooth and even arrived one day earlier than originally expected

I’m new to these NVME drives but definitely knew I wanted to try one for a new build. I installed this on a Asus x470-I mini itx motherboard with R7 2700x and 16GB of Corsair LPX 3000MHz RAM. The board recognized it and installed windows on it very quickly from a USB 3.0 thumb drive.

The speeds are incredible and I’ve used SSD on my builds for the past 9 years and am blown away by how much faster these drives perform compared. The speed, physical size, and capacity are impressive and the price while higher than 2.5 inch SSD’s are pretty reasonable for what you get in performance.

This is the first build I’ve used only solid state drives for all of my in build storage and this drive definitely helps to keep things snappy. If you’re on a budget then there isn’t a need to use this over a SSD. The real world performance you’ll see is improved but the jump from HDD to SSD is already huge and enough for most. You’ll be better off spending less and getting a TB in storage if you’re on a budget. If you you’re willing to spend a bit more then it is easy to recommend this drive.

Samsung M.2 970 PRO Un producto de excelencia !

Reviewed in Mexico on June 25, 2018

Éste NVMe se lleva fácilmente las cinco estrellas por la simple y sencilla razón de ofrecer el mejor rendimiento en el mercado de las unidades de estado sólido en PCIE GEN 3.0 X4, cumple y excede por poco las velocidades que marca como Lectura 3.5GB y Escritura 2.3GB en el caso de la versión de 512GB.
Después de haberlo instalado en la motherboard instalé y moví algunos juegos pesados GTA V, Overwatch, ARK y Forza H3, quede sonriente de lado a lado al ver que los juegos que antes tardaban mucho en mi raid 0 ahora era cuestion de pocos segundos que estuvieran listos para jugar!, es Fabuloso éste M.2 970 Pro 512GB de Samsung. Sin duda no hay error para aquellos que también se dedican a la edición de video sobre todo por que tiene está caracteristica 2 bit MLC que le otorga copiar grandes archivos sostenidamente sin sufrir bajas en la velocidad de transferencia por el hecho de que se le acabe el cache eso es algo que solo éste tiene y todo el resto de los M.2 carecen.

Es caro sí pero lo bueno nunca es barato así que éste M.2 vale cada centavo en desempeño. Es un producto en mi opinión para aquellos que somos entusiastas del hardware que no nos duele dejar la billetera con menos billetes por tener lo mejor de lo mejor. Subiría una foto pero quedó debajo de una de mis tarjetas de video.

El SSD por excelencia

Reviewed in Mexico on February 23, 2019

Capacity: 512GBVerified Purchase

Es el disco duro más rápido que haya tenido, mi máquina va que vuela, arranca en 10 segundos o menos y ya está lista para trabajar en Windows. Muy útil si se requieren trabajos de cómputo intenso que requieran acceder de forma lo más rápida posible a los datos en disco. Yo la uso en tareas de renderizado y compilación de código y es una maravilla no tener que esperar por tener cuellos de botella debido a las velocidades de acceso. Eso sí, hay que sacarle provecho con un buen procesador y demás complementos. Excelente si la máquina se usa para videojuegos y como estación de trabajo. Es natural que conforme se vayan llenando estas unidades baje su rendimiento, pero bajo condiciones más realistas de trabajo aún así es una gozada.

Went from a boot speed of 2-5 minutes to 27 seconds!

I installed this drive in my ASUS Republic of Gamers 503 Strix laptop and the increase in speed is impressive.

The switch from the built in Seagate brand hard drive to this Samsung 970 Pro M.2 was easy as all it required was a couple of screws and a handy piece of Samsung software. While I did have an issue with the screw ASUS used to hold the M.2 in place being loctite'd in place once I finally removed the screw (Which had now become striped and unusable), found a replacement screw in my cabinet and popped it into place the rest was smooth like butter.

Samsung offers data migration software on their website that seamlessly cloned my existing hard drive to the M.2 (This software only works with Samsung drives) and took less than an hour to clone over 300 gigs. Once the drive was cloned I had to go into disk management and enable the drive because it was now running the same ID as the Seagate drive and only one can be activated under that ID at a time, rebooted the laptop and pressed F2 to get into the BIOS, continued to the advanced settings and selected the Boot Sequence and selected the Samsung drive as the primary and finally selected Save & Exit. The initial boot from the M.2 took longer than any subsequent boots as is expected when first being initialized but now my boot time has decreased from between 2-5 minutes to on average about 27 seconds. It is now quicker to come from a full power down into Windows then it was to wake a powered on Windows from sleep mode before which means I save not only on energy from not having to leave my laptop running but on wear and tear on the devices from having it running 24/7.

My system benchmark nearly doubled when tested with the PerformanceTest software and raised my score from below average (2252 compared to the average of 2573) to being in the 86th percentile (Score of 4506) with no other system tweaking.

This drive is well worth the investment and will save you both time and money.
