Be careful with the drivers: you have to install the Samsung Nvme driver

For the quality of LDLC services and products As indicated in the title, the generic Microsoft NVME driver is ridiculous, it is absolutely necessary to install the Samsung NVME driver available on the Samsung website, result : - Microsoft drivers: 2416Mb/s - Samsung drivers : 3017 Mb/s Otherwise very good M2, fast and does not heat up LDLC always at the top for the delivery and the products proposed

unreliable

Frequent blue screen that forces me to reinstall the whole system each time. I've never had a problem like this with a platter drive in the 25 years I've been building my PCs, but I've never had a problem with a platter drive. I have never had a problem of this type with a platter disk in the 25 years I have been assembling my PCs.

        Replacement SSD

        I bought this SSD to replace the smaller one in my girlfriend's computer. I chose this particular model because Samsung makes very VERY good quality NVME SSDs.

        Reliable and fast M2, that's the Samsung we love. Good performance/storage/price ratio.

        1TB SSD

        Bought this winter to upgrade an old MSI Gaming, sent with care and received quickly.
        Perfect installation and works perfectly.
        Thanks LDLC!

        Cover for DS420+

        Works very well as a cache for my Synology DS420+ NAS: I bought 2 of them.
        Write performance in my virtual machine database has exploded: moodle benchmark goes from 50 seconds to 0.24 seconds!
        Bought 48.29€HT on 3/8/2023, costs double today!

        as fast and reliable as ever

        This is my second SSD from the same series but this time in 1TB version... If you want very fast load times for games, applications and especially Windows 10 as 11 ... this is what you need.
        It doesn't heat up very much, I don't even use the passive radiator on my supplied card... It's really stable, unlike another 1TB model from a top brand... The value for money is really good and the performance is amazing...The NVME standard is already extraordinary but with this drive, you really have to wonder how the system reacts...
        I recommend it ...

        Ssd 970 evo plus

        Read and write speeds are in line with LDLC's product description. In short, the performance and reliability are spot on. Once again I am not disappointed to have bought from LDLC, I have been a customer for over 10 years and I buy with my eyes closed because not only are the descriptions in line with the manufacturers but the technical team is very competent and is always there to answer your questions. ??????

        Samsung Evo 970 ssd

        Super-fast Ssd. 1to is the bare minimum for installing Windows 10 or 11 in a solid software configuration.
        Very fast transfer rates.
        Good Samsung, as usual.

        Excellent product

        Easy installation, even for me as a non-hardware user. Perfect compatibility with the system. The disk utility lets you create the partition in a matter of moments. I installed this SSD in addition to a standard 500GB SATA SSD (also from Samsung) and a 1TB HDD, mainly to install a few games. I left the bone on the SATA SSD so I can't assess the difference in boot speed, but I find it satisfactory with the original configuration. On the other hand, on big games like Beamng, the difference is noticeable.
        I'm very happy with this drive. When it was on sale, it was definitely worth it!

        Perfect

        Received, quickly

        I took this Samsung nvme SSD to upgrade a HP G3 laptop that had a small drive (256go) in M.2 format but in sata.
        I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to check it out. It's a good idea to check it out, but it's not a good idea to check it out.
        I'm confident in the reliability of samsung, it's not the first one.
        I recommend it, to have a good time

        NOT RECOGNISED BY THE MOTHERBOARD

        I used the LDLC configuration tool and after selecting my MAG B660 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4 motherboard, it suggested this hard drive... After several tries, it appears in the peripherals but is not recognized or supported... I have updated all my drivers but nothing works. I don't even know if I can get it back... Disappointed with this first online purchase...

        Excellent value for money

        As usual just in time delivery, no hiccups, thanks LDLC. I bought 2 SSDs to exchange with older ones in two computers (towers). No problem to insert the strips, the motherboards have the right screws (no screws in the case of the SSD 970 EVO). Then I used Data Migration from Clonix (recommended by Samsung on their website) and cloned the old SSDs. This takes 30 minutes. I'm very happy with the improvement of the speed of the applications and I've been using the new SSDs for a while now. I'm also very happy with the improvement of the speed of the applications.

        This is SAMSUNG...

        The MSI B450 gaming plus max has a better performance than the technical data sheet, and the opening of big software (CAD, games) is much faster than with my SAMSUNG 860QVO. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a new one, but it's a good idea to have a new one, too.

        Very good product

        I was very pleased with the performance of this product. Quick installation with Magician software, may need to download NVME driver from Samsung website.
        Mounted with a Be Quiet! heatsink, which seems safer for intensive use. Speeds are not as advertised, more like 800MB/s, but that's to be expected with my configuration.

        Remarkable

        Easy to install and immediately recognised by the operating system. This SSD has been replacing an old SSD that was out of service for almost two years without any weaknesses. The performance is remarkable, Windows can be started in three seconds, heavy applications can be loaded very quickly and retouching images from 24 to 42MB in RAW is a pleasure.

        I gave 10 out of 10 because this SSD is honestly excellent, with it's 3300 MB/s write speed and 3500 MB/s read speed, to boot my PC I need about 30 sec and to download my only problem now is my connection. And this famous 1Tb is cool :)

        I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

        M.2 SSD at the speed of light

        What can I say? If you've always dreamed of going to the stars, well, it's done with the M.2 970 plus from Samsung! The technical data sheet does not lie about processing as fast as the Millennium Falcon of han solo! Truly a purchase without regret! Heavy, with the software "Samsung magican" you have a perfect control and acces to benchmark the SSD! Thanks Samsung, thanks LDLC ! Go for it!

        Hello
        After having ordered on Wednesday the "970 Evo Plus NVME M.2 1TO", well I had the excellent surprise (although it's always fast!) to receive it on Saturday, as usual LDLC, always on top! I just have to install it (screws not provided but normally you have this screw provided with your motherboard). Thanks LDLC, the bosses.

        Finding the screw

        I have no complaints about the product itself, just that you have to be careful when installing it to avoid damaging it, and also that you have to think about having the right screw in stock if you want to fix it.
        I would have liked to have seen a bag of 100 screws for the price of one, which would have been much nicer than having to buy a bag of 100 screws and only take one.

        I'm sure you'll find it a great product.

        the super fast NWMe

        I've been using it for a while now and it's a wonder to switch to NWMe, I can turn on my PC in 5 seconds, what more could I ask for,
        I've had no problems with it at all since I've owned it.
        What a difference with a traditional SDD

        Max capacity in PCI Express X4

        The product is in order!
        However small detail after installing the SSD M.2 and made a Benchmark (speed test), I realized that I did not exceed the 1700Mo/s .... after having wandered on the Net, I found the solution, In the BIOS it was enough just to activate the PCI express in X4 instead of X2, but still be careful, for my part that will disable the SATA 5 and 6, thus to take care not to have anything to connect on it ^^ and to think of checking if your PC (Motherboard) takes in charge the PCI Express in "X4".
        Apart from this little problem, I am HAPPY.
        I put below the results obtained via Samsung Magician.

        Only slightly faster than the 960 EVO 250GB already mounted on M2 port.

        The top of the M.2

        Well, I still wanted to get a 1TB Corsair MP510 but they were out of stock last month and I needed to get a new setup. So I wanted to go to a trusted brand and in M.2.
        I opted for Samsung this time, and the latest version of this M.2 SSD.
        I use it to install my most time-consuming games. It does reduce the loading time, which is noticeable, but it doesn't make them almost disappear either.
        Skyrim modded when you open a door though, it's a few seconds I don't have time to read my little anecdotes and tips.
        Assassin's creed Odyssey, it also feels like the loading time is improved compared to my Firecuda SSHD, but there's still time for a quick text.
        I'm sure a regular SSD with a rate above 500MB/s would do almost as well if you don't have the budget for M.2 NVMe that blasts at 3500MB/s, it'll still be a thousand times better than a physical HDD.

        Perfect in every way

        I recommend this Samsung M.2 SSD. It has a large capacity and is very easy to install and use.
        The 1TB capacity will allow you to install the system and software as well as many games!

        Super fast

        Very useful to expand my storage on my MSI laptop workstation which came with only 500GB.

        a rocket

        It's very, very fast but you need the hardware on the other side to keep up... a very good SSD for the operating system but don't expect a big difference in Boot compared to a conventional ssd.

        Great M2 disc!

        Super fast, easy to install disk. Gives a new lease of life to your M2 Nvme compatible computers.
        Just a bit cumbersome to get Windows to detect, but through the disk manager, it's done.
        The Samsung disk clone allows you to easily copy the system from one disk to the new one.
