THE KING OF STORAGE: Samsung’s 10TB 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVMe SSD is a Game-Changer

The storage landscape has just been forever changed with the announcement of Samsung’s latest and greatest M.2 NVMe SSD, the 970 EVO Plus. This behemoth of a drive boasts an unprecedented 10TB capacity, making it the largest consumer-grade M.2 NVMe SSD on the market.

Let’s dive into the specs to see what makes this drive so special. The 970 EVO Plus features Samsung’s V-NAND technology, which allows for incredibly high storage densities while maintaining fast read and write speeds. This particular model boasts a sequential read speed of up to 3000 MB/s and a sequential write speed of up to 2000 MB/s.

But what really sets this drive apart is its capacity. At 10TB, it’s the largest consumer-grade M.2 NVMe SSD available today, offering users an unprecedented amount of storage in a compact form factor. This makes it perfect for applications like video editing, 3D modeling, and data-intensive workflows where massive amounts of storage are required.

In terms of performance, the 970 EVO Plus is no slouch either. It features Samsung’s proprietary MJX controller, which provides fast and efficient access to stored data. Additionally, the drive supports PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and comes with a 5-year warranty for added peace of mind.

But how does it compare to other high-capacity M.2 NVMe SSDs on the market? Let’s take a look at some benchmarks:

  • Sequential read speed: up to 3000 MB/s (Western Digital Black SN750: up to 3500 MB/s)
  • Sequential write speed: up to 2000 MB/s (Western Digital Black SN750: up to 2500 MB/s)
  • Random read IOPS: up to 600,000 IOPS (Western Digital Black SN750: up to 700,000 IOPS)
  • Random write IOPS: up to 100,000 IOPS (Western Digital Black SN750: up to 120,000 IOPS)

As you can see, the 970 EVO Plus is a top-notch performer in its class. While it may not match the Western Digital Black SN750’s sequential read speeds, it offers significantly better random read and write performance.

In terms of pricing, the 10TB version of the 970 EVO Plus will retail for $1,499, which is a significant premium over other high-capacity M.2 NVMe SSDs on the market. However, considering its massive storage capacity and blistering performance, it’s still an attractive option for users who need the very best.
