The Samsung SSD 970 Series (specifically the Samsung SSD 970 EVO or PRO model) is a high-performance solid-state drive (SSD) with Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) technology introduced in 2007. It is aimed at demanding users such as gamers, professional creators and others who have high performance requirements from their storage systems. Below you will find a detailed description, technical specifications, features and application areas of the Samsung SSD 970 Series.

1. General description:

The Samsung SSD 970 is an NVMe-based storage. Compared to conventional SATA SSDs or HDDs, it offers significantly higher speeds due to the direct connection to the PCIe bus. With V-NAND technology (vertical NAND architecture) and the Polaris controller, the SSD enables extremely high transfer speeds, lower latencies and improved energy efficiency.

2. Technical details:

a) Interface:

- Interface: NVMe 1.3 (Non-Volatile Memory Express) via PCIe Gen 3.0 x4
- Form factor: M.2 (2280) – The SSD is plugged directly into the motherboard via the M.2 slot.

b) Capacities:

The Samsung SSD 970 EVO and PRO are available in different capacities, typically:
- 250GB
- 500GB
- 1TB
- 2TB
- 4 TB (only on certain PRO models)

c) Speed:

- Sequential read/write speed:
- Samsung 970 EVO: Read up to 3,500 MB/s, write up to 2,500 MB/s (depending on model).
- Samsung 970 PRO: Read up to 3,500 MB/s, Write up to 2,700 MB/s.
- Random Read/Write IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second):
- Read: Up to 500,000 IOPS
- Write: Up to 480,000 IOPS

d) Memory modules:

- NAND Flash Memory: 3D V-NAND (Samsung 64-layer or 96-layer depending on model).
- Memory controller: Samsung Phoenix controller with five cores.

e) Reliability and durability:

- TBW (Total Bytes Written):
- Samsung SSD 970 EVO: Depending on capacity up to 600 TBW.
- Samsung SSD 970 PRO: Up to 1,200 TBW.
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): 1.5 million hours.
- Warranty: 5 years manufacturer's warranty.

f) Cooling and energy consumption:

- Dynamic Thermal Guard: Protects the SSD from overheating by monitoring the temperature and throttling performance when necessary.
- Heatsink (optional): Available on select models to improve heat dissipation.

3. Functions:

a) NVMe protocol:

The NVMe protocol enables significantly improved performance compared to SATA SSDs because it is optimized for flash storage and makes the CPU connection more efficient.

b) TurboWrite technology:

This feature uses a Single-Level Cell (SLC) cache to increase write speeds. This is especially useful when processing large files before the data is written to the slower TLC memory.

c) Samsung Magician Software:

Samsung provides its own software called "Samsung Magician" which offers various functions for managing the SSD, such as:
- Firmware updates.
- Performance monitoring.
- Benchmark tests.
- Data migration from an old hard drive to the SSD.

d) AES 256-bit encryption:

Supports hardware-based encryption with AES-256-bit to keep data safe and secure.

e) TRIM and SMART support:

- TRIM command: Allows the operating system to mark unused data blocks, which extends the lifespan of the SSD and optimizes performance.
- SMART Monitoring: Supports monitoring and detection of possible errors or problems with the SSD.

4. Areas of application:

The Samsung SSD 970 EVO/PRO is ideal for a variety of demanding use cases, including:

a) Gaming:

- The fast read and write speeds make them ideal for gaming PCs where fast loading times and smooth performance are required.

b) Video and audio editing:

- The ability to quickly read and write large amounts of data makes the SSD 970 suitable for professional video editing software (4K/8K video rendering) or music production.

c) Virtual machines and servers:

- For virtualized environments and servers that require fast storage performance, the 970 Series offers significant advantages because it can handle multiple VMs efficiently.

d) 3D modelling and CAD software:

- Programs that rely on large amounts of data and fast data storage, such as AutoCAD or Blender, benefit greatly from fast data storage and access times.

e) General system acceleration:

- Installing the operating system on an NVMe SSD like the Samsung 970 massively speeds up system boot time and overall system response.

5. Differences between EVO and PRO:

- Samsung 970 EVO: Uses TLC (Triple-Level Cell) memory and is more cost-effective. It offers very good performance, but the TLC memory is not as durable as the MLC memory used in the PRO model.
- Samsung 970 PRO: Uses MLC memory (Multi-Level Cell), which provides greater durability and better performance during longer, intensive write operations.

Conclusion:

The Samsung SSD 970 EVO and PRO are high-performance SSDs that can be used in both professional and private environments. They offer an excellent combination of speed, durability and ease of use, supported by modern features such as AES encryption, Dynamic Thermal Guard and Samsung Magician. Especially for power-hungry applications and workloads, they are one of the best storage solutions due to their high speed and efficiency.
