Product Overview
Samsung SSD 970 EVO is a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD intended for client PCs. It uses the M.2 2280 form factor, specified as a 22mm x 80mm module, with maximum physical dimensions of 80.15 x 22.15 x 2.38 mm. The interface is PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 with NVMe 1.3 support.
The storage architecture combines a Samsung Phoenix Controller with Samsung V-NAND 3bit MLC. Available capacities are 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB, using IDEMA decimal gigabyte definition. DRAM cache is capacity dependent: 512MB LPDDR4 on 250GB and 500GB models, 1GB LPDDR4 on the 1TB model, and 2GB LPDDR4 on the 2TB model.
Performance ratings include sequential reads up to 3,400 MB/s on the 250GB model and up to 3,500 MB/s on 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB models. TurboWrite-based sequential write reaches up to 1,500 MB/s, 2,300 MB/s, or 2,500 MB/s depending on capacity. The device supports TRIM, Garbage Collection, S.M.A.R.T, AES 256-bit Full Disk Encryption, TCG/Opal V2.0, and Encrypted Drive IEEE1667.
