SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe internal SSD

SKU CH-A5KH-H5RS6

M.2 NVMe SSD with V-NAND reaches 3,500 MB/s reads and 3,300 MB/s writes, plus Dynamic Thermal Guard for sustained speed

  • Device TypeInternal Solid State Drive (SSD)
  • Sequential reads up to 3,500 MB/s powered by NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface
  • Sequential writes up to 3,300 MB/s for faster project saves and file transfers
  • Random 4K reads up to 600,000 IOPS with NVMe 1.3 protocol for snappy multitasking
  • Dynamic Thermal Guard and nickel-coated controller maintain optimal temperatures under heavy loads
  • Samsung Magician software enables drive health monitoring, firmware updates and performance tuning

1TB NVMe SSD for intensive workloads

The Samsung 970 EVO Plus is a 1TB internal solid-state drive built for PCs and workstations that run demanding applications. It combines a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface with Samsung V-NAND technology to deliver high bandwidth and low latency for enthusiasts and professionals.

Sustained performance under heavy load

Sequential read and write speeds reach up to 3500 MB/s and 3300 MB/s respectively while random 4KB reads hit 600000 IOPS at QD32. The nickel-coated controller and heat spreader work with Dynamic Thermal Guard to maintain these speeds during extended transfers rather than throttling after a short burst.

Thermals noise and power draw

Dynamic Thermal Guard continuously monitors temperature and adjusts performance to prevent overheating without adding audible noise. Idle power consumption is a maximum of 30 mW, keeping energy use low when the drive is not active. The drive carries a 600 TBW endurance rating.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 970 EVO Plus draw when the system is idle?

The drive consumes a maximum of 30 mW at idle, though actual draw varies with the host hardware and configuration.

What motherboard slot and protocol are required for this M.2 drive?

A motherboard with an M.2 slot that supports PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 and the NVMe 1.3 specification is needed.

Will the Dynamic Thermal Guard keep speeds steady inside an older chassis with limited airflow?

The guard monitors temperature and throttles the controller to maintain optimal operating temperatures, reducing performance drops even in tighter cases.
