The 970 Evo Plus offers excellent sustained write performance both in and out of cache. This results in consistent performance even when the drive is nearly full. Samsung also have a great track record for reliability, this drive will likely last a lifetime. The larger capacity drives (1TB+) offer even better write performance and may be more appropriate for some users. We use this drive (and its larger siblings) extensively in our EFps Lab at UserBenchmark. [Feb '20 SSDrivePro]

i got my first one for free, after it was heavily used by the main hospital in denmark, its the fastest and most stable SSD i have ever used, i bought a samsung 970 evo to replace it, but it was slower then my old 760P. I highly reccoment the 760p. [Mar '22 SnowValkyrie]
