Samsung 970 EVO Plus 250GB NVMe SSD

The Samsung 970 EVO Plus MZ-V7S250B/AM is a 250GB internal solid state drive built for consumers who need fast NVMe storage. It uses a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface and Samsung V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory controlled by the Phoenix controller. The M.2 2280 form factor fits standard desktop and laptop slots.

Idle power 30 mW and Dynamic Thermal Guard

In normal use the drive draws a maximum of 30 mW when idle. Samsung Dynamic Thermal Guard monitors temperature and adjusts performance to keep the SSD within safe thermal limits without added noise. The 512MB Low Power DDR4 cache helps sustain throughput during typical workloads.

Samsung Magician software and AES 256-bit encryption

Samsung Magician software provides firmware updates, performance benchmarking and secure erase tools for ongoing optimisation. Hardware AES 256-bit full disk encryption supports TCG/Opal V2.0 and IEEE1667 standards for data protection. The drive is rated for 150 TBW and a 1,500,000 hour MTBF.

Questions about this item

How do I install the M.2 2280 NVMe drive and what step do people often miss?

Insert the drive at an angle into the motherboard M.2 slot, press it flat and secure it with the single screw; the step often missed is enabling the NVMe controller or PCIe 3.0 x4 mode in BIOS so the drive appears at full speed.

What maintenance or replacement will the 250 GB V-NAND SSD need later?

The drive has a 150 TBW endurance rating and 1.5 million-hour MTBF; no user maintenance is required, but once written data approaches 150 TB the NAND cells near their warranted limit and the drive should be replaced.

What limit appears first under sustained heavy writes on this PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD?

The Dynamic Thermal Guard throttles performance when the controller temperature rises during prolonged writes, so thermal throttling is the first limit you will encounter before the 150 TBW endurance is reached.
