970 EVO 500GB NVMe Drive

The Samsung 970 EVO MZ-V7E500E is a 500GB internal SSD built for consumer PCs. It uses a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.3 protocol and V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory. A Samsung Phoenix controller and 512MB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM cache manage data flow.

M.2 2280 Form Factor

The drive fits a standard M.2 2280 slot, meaning it mounts directly on the motherboard without cables. Sequential reads reach up to 3400 MBps and writes up to 2300 MBps. Random read IOPS hit 370,000 at QD32 and 15,000 at QD1. Random write IOPS reach 450,000 at QD32 and 50,000 at QD1. Dynamic Thermal Guard protects against overheating between 0°C and 70°C. Active power averages 5.7W with a 10W burst maximum.

Compatibility Check

Verify your motherboard has an M.2 slot wired for PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 and NVMe support. Confirm the BIOS can boot from an NVMe device if this will be the OS drive. Ensure the slot accepts 2280-length modules and that clearance allows the drive to seat fully. Samsung Magician software is available for monitoring and maintenance.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation and NVMe version does the 970 EVO 500GB use, and what sequential speeds does that cap?

The drive uses PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 with NVMe 1.3, capping sequential read at 3400 MBps and sequential write at 2300 MBps.

What M.2 form factor and keying does the MZ-V7E500E need to fit?

It uses the M.2 2280 form factor, so the motherboard slot must accept 80 mm length modules.

How is the Samsung 970 EVO installed, and which step is often missed?

Insert the drive at an angle into the M.2 slot, press down, and secure it with the retention screw; people often forget the screw.
