Samsung latest 970 Evo Plus SSD gets even faster and cheaper

NVMe solid-land drives (SSDs) simply keep getting faster and cheaper. Last week we had the WD Black SN750 and at present Samsung is responding in kind with the 970 Evo Plus.

Although Samsung didn't grant its latest SSD a whole new model number, it features significantly boosted specs over the final Samsung 970 Evo (and even the 970 Pro) appear last April. For starters, the 970 Evo Plus offers sequential read speeds up to 3,500MB/southward and sequential writes upwardly to 3,300MB/southward.

Comparatively, the Samsung 970 Evo operated at up to iii,500MB/s sequential reads and 2,500MB/due south sequential writes. Now even the Samsung 970 Pro looks a footstep behind as information technology boasts the same maximum read speeds with a 200MB/s write speed.

This newfound speed comes thanks to Samsung's newly introduced 96-layer V-NAND that stacks taller and runs faster than the 64-layer V-NAND constitute its previous drives.

Of grade, Samsung's latest SSD is here as an reply for its new rivals; the WD Black SN750 (upward to 3,470MB/s and 3,000MB/s sequential reads/writes) and Corsair Force Series MP510 (up to 3,480MB/s and three,000MB/s sequential reads/writes) at bargain prices.

Samsung has even brought down the pricing of its latest drive, and the 970 Evo Plus family will start with 250GB drives that cost $89 – 18% lower than the $109 (£86, AU$155) starting cost of the previous Samsung 970 Evo. The 970 Evo Plus will as well exist bachelor in 500GB for $129 (near £100, AU$180), 1TB for $249 (well-nigh £190, AU$350) and a 2TB capacity coming later this year past mid-April at an undecided toll.

We'll before long see how the Samsung 970 Evo Plus stands against the WD Blackness SN 750 and its other rivals soon plenty, so stay tuned for our full review.
