Review: Excellent SSD Upgrade - Purchased the Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB NVMe M.2 for my mid 2015 MacBook Pro (Excellent computers that many people still use and love). For some time Apple played evil by not permitting SSD upgrade other than from one company, which made prices expensive. I used a Sintech adapted (about $12) for the installation. Installation was very easy. It is quite fast and works very well. I am very happy. Installation/Migration recommendations: First, check out the Apple Support Boot to Recovery Options. There are a few way to reload or migrate files after purchasing the SSD upgrade. 1) Not recommended. Cloning the SD with specific cloning apps. I do not recommend. Too much hassle. 2) Mot recommended. Attempting to use an external USB enclosure for the new SSD and using the migration process through Disk tools (reboot to recovery). You will need to format the SSD, load system, and then start migration. Unfortunately, the disk or enclosure will likely not be recognized. You may very well get frustrated. 3) Best method. Create and use and external USB Boot drive. It will take a bit to load the files on the the USB thumb drive, but it is very worth it. This process will work. Make sure you do a little homework on how to make a boot drive and for migration. Then shut down the computer and install the new adapter with the Samsung SSD "internally." Then restart with the external Boot Drive that you just made, and make you way to Disk tools (pretty clear cut). The drive will now appear. Format the SSD and load system. You can now migrate files using either the Time Machine back-up that you should have made, or place the new SSD in the external enclosure and use the Migration tool. I chose to remove the SSD, place it in my external USB/SSD enclosure, and then use the Migration tool. To do that I restarted in Recover Mode (Not the external boot drive) again made my way to Migration. It took a while to migrate all of the data (over night for 900 GB) but it worked very well. You will need to log in to a few apps. You may also need to take care of any cloud services that will re-sync. DropBox may to a a bit of attention. I did not include all of the steps. Do a bit of homework. It is not that hard. But follow the steps. * Be patient and do the migration right. This SSD is very good and will work. Review: The Unkillable King of PCIe 3.0 - The Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB remains the undisputed champion of the PCIe 3.0 era, striking a near-perfect balance between price, performance, and rock-solid reliability that few modern drives can match. While it technically lags behind the newer, flashier Gen 4 drives like the 980 Pro in raw synthetic benchmarks, you would be hard-pressed to notice the difference in real-world tasks like gaming or booting Windows; it still feels snappy and responsive. Its write speeds are impressive, fueled by a generous SLC cache that handles bursty workloads with ease, though heavy power users moving hundreds of gigabytes at once might notice a slowdown if they exhaust it. The only real chink in its armor is its tendency to run toasty under load, so ensuring you have decent airflow or a motherboard heatsink is a smart move to prevent thermal throttling. Ultimately, if you don't have a Gen 4 compatible motherboard or simply want the most reliable "bang for your buck" storage upgrade without paying the "latest and greatest" tax, this drive is still an outstanding choice. ## Features - INNOVATIVE V-NAND TECHNOLOGY: Powered by Samsung V-NAND Technology, the 970 EVO Plus SSD’s NVMe interface (PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3) offers enhanced bandwidth, low latency, and power efficiency ideal for tech enthusiasts, high end gamers, and 4K & 3D content designers - BREAKTHROUGH READ WRITE SPEEDS: Sequential read and write performance levels of up to 3,500MB s and 3,300MB s, respectively; Random Read (4KB, QD32): Up to 600,000 IOPS Random Read.

Read speeds are equal, write speeds are 2500 MB/s for EVO and 3300 MB/s for EVO Plus. At this price it is a no-brainer. Incidentally - even the 970 EVO wiped the floor with WD Black in those same tests. Samsung 970 EVO/EVO Plus, 980 et al.. are the best SSDs you can get, especially for these great prices. Daayyum. I'd jump at this price if I hadn't already :-) **Q: Do all variants (250gb and 1TB) have the same speed?** A: nope, check on detailed specs on Samsung website https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/970evoplus/ 250GB 2,300 MB/s ; 500GB 3,200MB/s ; 1TB/2TB 3,300 MB/s **Q: where is the 2tb drive?** A: Product comes with new higher density flash memory. Samsung should release 2TB version as soon as they maintain mass production of 512 bit density flash. Early predictions are that it should come in April. **Q: Will the 500gb sdd clone my 1tb system partition with 200gb used, on my hdd, and is the process automated?** A: It is not clear if the source is 500GB or 1TB. For Clonezilla to work, the destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one. It seems your source is the 1TB partition. You will need to shrink the 1TB system partition to less than 500GB for Clonezilla to work. That said, Clonezilla is a wonderful program and does a "bare metal" backup of used space to be efficient in backup capacity. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent SSD Upgrade *by T***S on March 21, 2023* Purchased the Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB NVMe M.2 for my mid 2015 MacBook Pro (Excellent computers that many people still use and love).

Fast & easy *by D***E on March 9, 2024* I put together my first computer way back in the last century - sometime around 1985, I think. At the time I thought that it would be a good plan to give the operating system its own space and keep it separate from whatever data (videos, pictures, text files, program data, etc) I would accumulate. So I did. I put the OS on one hard drive and used another for data. If I wanted to install an upgrade or if the drive failed, there would be no issues with my files. I've continued with that practice over the years, and have, at times, been very glad I did. The computer in the video has the operating system installed on the Samsung 970 1TB SSD. It loads fast. Really fast. There's an external hard drive for some A/V file storage, but I have another SSD for my most-used files. This kind of system has been stable and reliable over the years. Not sure, but I think all current motherboards have at least one slot for an SSD, and many have two. Installation is easy. The MB in the computer in the video has a heat sink with non-removable (and so non-lose-able) screws. It's easiest to install the SSD when first setting things up, but for the video, it was simple enough to take off and then replace the heat sink. ## Frequently Bought Together - Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 500GB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology (MZ-V7S500B/AM) - SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
