Samsung SSD 970 EVO 250GB

The Samsung SSD 970 EVO 250 GB (MZ-V7E250BW) is a lower high end M.2 2280 NVMe SSD for Desktops and Laptops. It uses the Samsung Phoenix (S4LR020) Controller with 512 MB LPDDR4 Cache. Samsung specifies 3400 MB/s read and 1500 MB/s write performance and uses 64 Layer 3DNAND TLC from Samsung as memory chips. At the time of announcement in 2018 it was one of the fastest consumer SSDs on the market. The power consumption of the SSD is rated at 9 W (max.), 5.4W (usage), 0.03W (idle), and 0.005W (sleep).

Compared to the SSD 970 Pro, the Evo uses slower TLC memory and is specified with a slightly higher power consumption.
