The advantages of NVMe SSDs

An SSD makes your PC or laptop a lot faster, because you replace your hard drive with a flash chip without moving parts. But you can go even faster. NVMe SSDs like the Samsung 970 EVO M.2 are connected directly to the PCIe bus of your motherboard for super fast data transfer.

What is NVMe?

An SSD consists of a fast chip that you save your data on, a connector that you connect the SSD with, and a controller that manages everything and sends the data to the right place. The connector of an SSD can be SATA or PCIe, for example. NVMe is the protocol, or the way in which data is transferred over the connector. Older SSDs use older protocols like AHCI, which was actually developed for hard drives. That is why the AHCI and SATA protocols make it difficult for the SSD to transfer data as quickly as possible.

Why a Samsung NVMe SSD?

NVMe is a data transfer protocol specifically designed for SSDs by SSD manufacturers like Samsung to make the highest speeds possible. This is why SSDs that use NVMe are up to 4 times faster than regular SSDs and up to 10 times faster when it comes to looking up data. For example, the Samsung 970 EVO 500GB M.2 has a read speed of 3500MB/s and a write speed of 2500MB/s. It allows you to open your programs and files even faster than with a normal SSD. If you currently still have a regular 2.5-inch SSD or even a hard drive, you'll no doubt notice the difference in daily use and when you read or write a lot of data. If your motherboard supports M.2 SSDs via NVMe, then it's worth making the switch.

Samsung 970 EVO M.2 SSDs offer the highest speed met NVMe over PCIe and they also have a high TBW. TBW stands for terabytes written, which indicates how much data you can write to the SSD before it might not work anymore. For the 2TB model, that is 1200TBW, so you know you're bringing home a reliable SSD. In addition, you get a 5-year warranty from Samsung, so you can enjoy your new SSD for a long time.

Samsung Magician

Samsung Magician is especially developed for your SSD and is included with every Samsung SSD. The software ensures that your SSD always has the newest firmware and that you can make the most of your SSD when it comes to speed. In addition, you can use Magician to benchmark your SSD, so your data is better secured.
