About This Product
The Samsung 960 Evo 500GB is an M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD, offering significantly faster sequential read/write speeds compared to SATA SSDs. While its performance is strong for general use and gaming, it is an older generation NVMe drive, and newer PCIe 4.0 drives offer superior performance at a similar or lower price point. This drive is suitable for users seeking a performance upgrade from SATA, but not the absolute fastest available today.
Verdict
“Good for users upgrading from SATA, but newer NVMe drives offer better value and performance.”
