User questions & answers

Question:	When cloning the desktop harddrive to the ssd is a usb to sata adapter required or can the cloning be handled after mounting the ssd in the desktop
Answer:	You said that this SSD is used on a desktop PC. So you can connect both the original hard drive and the SSD using SATA cables. Or you can mount one with SATA cable and the other one with USB to SATA adapter. It doesn't matter which hard drive is connected with which. As long as your cloning software recognizes both drives. Just make sure that the USB to SATA adapter and the USB port you connect to are both USB 3.0. The speed is much faster with USB 3 ports and adapter. Hope this helps.
Question:	Would this be compatible with a macbook pro 15" late 2011 model
Answer:	The machine I am using right now is my Mid-2012 MBP 13 inch. I cloned one of these drives into this machine at the beginning of November. This "vintage" ol'girl with 16GB of RAM (that's right sixteen GB) now screams along. I think that I have a couple more years of useful life in it. This is a good price for the Samsung PRO model, it will likely come down in price, like most electronics.
Question:	Is this mlc or tlc
Answer:	According to Samsung's website, it is "Samsung V-NAND 2bit MLC".
Question:	whats the benefits of the pro over the evo
Answer:	The primary difference is that the 860 Pro version has sequential read speeds are up to 560 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 530 MB/s, with newer chips and a different controller. The 860 EVO has sequential read speeds are up to 550 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 520 MB/s, and probably has the previous generation of chips and controller. Keep in mind that these are max Sequential speeds, random read/writes and average read/writes are going to be slower. The random and average read/write speeds is where you will see the biggest difference in performance. After taking a second look at the specks of both, if you aren't rendering 4k video or something like that I would save money and get the EVO.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do you format this and why is that necessary for new drives? What stops me from plugging it right into my system and getting started
Answer:	Depends on what you're doing. You can connect this to your system but new drives will not be functional until you initialize them and create a partition under Disk Management. Your other option (what I did with this drive) is to disconnect your existing drive and then install this (while PC is off if that's not obvious). Then you have a blank drive in your system and can boot from an OS disc like Windows 10. A fresh Windows 10 installation will still recognize the drive and be able to initialize it properly as well as create the necessary partitions. Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
Question:	Hi i have questions how the better samsung evo 970 or wd black 250gb high-performance nvme pcie gen3 8 gb/s m
Answer:	Reviews have suggested that the two drives are VERY close in performance (nearly within margin of error of tests). The WD Black gen3 devices were the first ones to actually challenge the 960 EVO NVMe drives for dominance of the high-performance consumer grade SSDs. You can't go wrong with either one, as far as I can tell, at least from reviews. They'll provide insignificant differences in speed/performance between the two. Therefore, you should purchase based on price and (if it's important to you) warranty. Note also that the WD drive caps at 1TB in size (vs. 2 TB for the 970 EVO), so if you wanted to go that route, there's only one choice. As far as "best high-performance consumer level" NVMe drive, the 970 EVO and the 3rd generation WD black are on an even playing field, and both at the top of the stack (this ignores the "prosumer" market devices like the 970 Pro where prices are much higher per gigabyte). Note that it's possible that you won't notice any performance difference between these high-performance NVMe drives and, say, a high-quality SATA drive.
Question:	I want the 2 TB, is it possible
Answer:	If you find someone with TB, you can have as much of it as you want!
Question:	Whats the difference between this one and the 960 pro
Answer:	The 960 Pro is from the previous generation. The newer one is the 970 Pro. Comparing the 960 Pro to the newer 970 EVO is a bit difficult because they aren't in the same class. The Primary difference between the Pro and the EVO is the Pro uses MLC (Multi Level Cell) whereas the EVO uses a Triple Level Cell. Case and point with the EVO. You can get a 2tb EVO drive but the Pro tops out at 1tb. The silicon is able to get more storage space for the real estate with TLC. On the other hand MLC is more reliable and more hearty than TLC which is why the Pro is using the MLC. Maybe you want to know about write endurance. One thing to keep in mind about write endurance is you will probably never come close to hitting it's limits unless you are using the drive all the time to save and load large files like a professional would. Also, the write endurance of the 1tb 970 Pro is double the write endurance of the 512gb 970 Pro. hardware review sites and done tests of the actual write cycle longevity of these drives and these drives last longer than what they're rated for. More than likely in your case, these drives will be long obsolete by the time they're half worn out. The write endurance of the 500gb 970 EVO is 300TB write cycles. Sequential R/W of the 970 EVO is 3400MB/s read and 2300MB/s write. I believe the 970 evo uses a Single Level Cell cache to boost write speeds. The write endurance of the 512gb 960 Pro is 400TB/wc. Sequential R/W of the 960 Pro is 3500MB/s read and 2100MB/s write The 970 series is more refined. Both use the updated Phoenix controller whereas the 960 series uses the Polaris controller. Both the 960 Pro and 970 EVO have a 5 year warranty. The older 960 EVO only has a 3 year warranty. The answer to this question between the 960 Pro and 970 Evo is simple........... get whichever is cheaper.

User questions & answers

Question:	I just bought i want to use with an imac and a pc should i plug it in when i get it to imac first and if i do can i drag pc files to it after
Answer:	I would do a clean format of it on the imac first, you can choose exFAT (it will work on both PC and mac) or you can choose Mac OS Extended (HFS+) which is more stable than exFAT, but you will need software on your PC to read/write to the drive. If the PC is your main machine I would just choose exFAT.
Question:	How long is the usb cable
Answer:	Measured at 16 inches.
Question:	Should the cable go in smoothly, or does it kind of snap in and need some pull to come out? Just got mine and wondering if that is normal
Answer:	The first one I got the cable did not fit well and Samsung replaced the drive. The second one has been fine
Question:	If i use this drive on my 2012 imac with usb 3.0, will the transfer speeds be less than 540mb/s
Answer:	Your iMac has USB 3.0 which is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1. That has about half the theoretical maximum transfer rate of USB 3.1 Gen 2, which is the interface used by this drive. On the upside, it is still fully compatible with USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 and while the transfer rate you’ll experience will be lower than if you had a computer with Gen 2 USB, it really isn’t that much slower in actual use. If you’re moving from any spinning platter drive to an SSD regardless of the interface you were using with the platter drive, you will see a HUGE performance improvement using this external SSD drive.

User questions & answers

Question:	this HD is compatible with ps
Answer:	I don't know if it fits in the hard drive bay in the iMac. I know that laptops require an adapter. As far as it being operationally capable, I do not see a problem. Not an exact answer, but I hope it is helpful.
Question:	This has primarily positive reviews from people buying from late 2014 to early 2015. Has anyone had long-term problems with it in a PS
Answer:	M Key
Question:	Does the 2T version work on a ps4, or just the 1T version
Answer:	The speed difference is big but only if your motherboard and CPU can handle it. Don't expect PS5 lighting quick load times though as combination direct drive like ssds found on the Xbox series X for the pc anytime soon though as Microsoft want to push console sales for at least a year maybe more if the economy gets worse as consoles are war cheaper than a pc or laptop here for just gaming alone. Pcie 6.0 will have the combination ram/SSD designs by 2023 as Intel said in Soeul in 2019 as standard for this change now found in the next gen consoles now as itx and smaller designs for pc desktops are becoming a thing here for minimalistic looks and for a wireless desktop workstation set-up and for gamers too as the gpu and cpu become slowly more merged together like the SSD and ram chips have become for the consoles as there will a radical change in motherboard designs in the next 2-3 years for this GPU and CPU merge to occur here like seen on the consoles for smaller more mobile workstations like in and ryzen nuc with it's Apu. Laptops might be phassed out for foldable phone/PCs depending on how the surface neo and lenovo foldable does once the SSD ram and cpu and gpu both merge on the pc side for things to get rid for unnecessary clutter here. The batteries though are the main problem still. They need to last for 30 days on full 100 power cpu gpu ram SSD draw for this to become a fully wireless mobile PC world though.
Question:	Will this drive fit in a PS
Answer:	The white one is QLC, the dark one is TLC. QLC means each cell of the NAND flash can store 4 bits per cell, TLC means 3. TLC tends to be faster and can last longer.

Question:	This is the same unit used in a Dell inspiron N
Answer:	Yes it works on my ps3 that has the slide thing which I believe the system is called the super slim ps3
Question:	Hi, does it work for dell inspiron
Answer:	Yes it will I replaced it in a slim that had a 120gb PS3. You will need a game that has an update on it or a way to get it from the internet to get the new hard drive set up on the PS3. I used Earth Defense Force 2025 and it had the update I needed on it! :) hope that helps.
Question:	is this hard drive for a laptop
Answer:	Hello ! Yes, you need a mounting bracket specific for the disk to get into your PS3. The guy that replaced the internal disk in my PS3 fixed it with a piece of the wrapping material (as I couldn't get a mounting bracket). But if you can get one it will be easier ! Good luck !
