Although outdated due to their interface support limited to PCIe 3.0, the Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSDs can still be useful to bring a solid performance boost to older desktop PCs and laptops. Since the budgets for upgrading old machines are often limited, Amazon's ongoing discounts for the Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD lineup of up to 68 percent should help some users decide to finally make the move.
While the 1 TB model has a non-discounted price of US$109.46, the other members of the aforementioned family of high-speed storage products are available on Amazon with the following prices and discounts:
- 250 GB: US$54.99, 21 percent
- 500 GB: US$59.99, 54 percent
- 2 TB: US$159.99, 68 percent
The Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSDs are up to 53 percent faster (according to Samsung's testing) than the Samsung 970 EVO and can reach sequential read/write speeds of up to 3500/3000 MB/s. While the reliability rating goes up to 1200 TBW (depending on the size), all models in the lineup are covered by a 5-year limited warranty. The Samsung Magician app allows users to track the health and speed of their drives, update their firmware, and boost performance.
On Amazon, the Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD lineup has received 43,674 user ratings so far.
