One of the best PCIe 3.0 SSDs available.
Samsung’s 970 Evo Plus 2TB SSD is an almost legendary SSD, offering great real-world performance at a reasonable price. Recently the largest 2TB size has dropped from £145 to £99.99, making it significantly more affordable to add a ton of fast NVMe storage to your PC or laptop.
As well as being cheaper than comparable PCIe 4.0 SSD alternatives, the 970 Evo Plus also works in a wider range of machines, including many made before the advent of PCIe 4.0 - eg 300-series Intel and AMD motherboards and their predecessors.
Even for a PCIe 3.0 drive, you can still expect reasonable speeds, from seqential speeds of up to 3500MB/s reads and 3000MB/s writes. Random speeds are also reasonable, at up to 620K IOPS reads and up to 560K IOPS. That’s around half the speed of PCIe 4.0 alternatives, but the difference in real-world testing is much more modest - generally the delta between thebest PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 gaming SSDstends to be only a matter of seconds. Unfortunately we don’t have exact comparisons between the 970 Evo Plus and newer models, but the review linked above should still give you a decent idea of overall performance!
I hope you find this deal useful, and stay tuned for more deals as we find them!
