Samsung 970 EVO 500GB NVMe SSD

The Samsung 970 EVO MZ-V7E500BW is a 500GB internal solid state drive built for consumer workloads. It uses a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface with NVMe 1.3 protocol and Samsung V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory. A Samsung Phoenix controller and 512MB LPDDR4 DRAM cache manage data flow for enthusiasts, high-end gamers and 4K content designers.

Sustained write behaviour and endurance

Sequential write speed reaches up to 2300 MBps while random write hits 450,000 IOPS at QD32 and 50,000 IOPS at QD1. The drive is rated for 300 TBW total bytes written and an MTBF of 1,500,000 hours. Samsung Magician software handles firmware updates and performance optimisation to keep speeds consistent during long sessions.

Thermals power and noise

Dynamic Thermal Guard monitors temperature and throttles automatically to maintain optimal operating range between 0°C and 70°C. Idle power draw is a maximum of 30 mW while average active consumption sits at 5.7W with a 10W burst ceiling. The M.2 2280 form factor has no moving parts so operation is completely silent.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 970 EVO draw when it runs continuously at full load?

The drive averages 5.7 W during active use and can reach a 10 W burst ceiling, while idling at only 30 mW.

Which motherboard slot and protocol are required for the M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface?

You need an M.2 2280 key-M slot wired for four PCIe 3.0 lanes and NVMe 1.3 support.

Will the Phoenix controller and 512 MB LPDDR4 cache work with an older PCIe 2.0 platform?

The drive is backward compatible and will operate at PCIe 2.0 speeds, though sequential throughput will be limited by the slower bus.
