      It says Phoenix controller on the listing, would would suggest the original model if accurate. The newer revision model has a Elpis controller.

    Any suggestions for a good SSD enclosure?

    • Larsson on 02/11/2021 - 13:22

      Had the same question! I am looking for something that’s going to take advantage of the speed of this ssd with a usb c and something not so fragile. Anybody can help please ?

    • Sleepycat3 on 02/11/2021 - 14:35

      I have many, from Orico and Simplecom. Orico is cheap, but plastic. The drive does get hot. My Simplecom is aluminium, seems to transfer more heat to the case, but the USB-NVMe control chip is not the best. My favourite is very expensive though. It is the Asus ROG Arion enclosure. It is a clamshell design, so you can use slightly thicker thermal pads to ensure it is in contact with the chips on the drive, compared to the rest which slide in or have sliding covers that you can't get good contact with the thermal pad.

      I have had problem drives that did not work properly with Orico and Simplecom. The Asus worked with it fine, allowing me to repartition and reformat. After that, the drive started working fine with the Orico and Simplecom enclosures.

      • ozricoy on 02/11/2021 - 16:47

        Does it transfer like claimed? 3300mbps? .. I read 40gbps enclosures.. but does your Asus one fast enough for this 970 evo plus?

        • Sleepycat3 on 02/11/2021 - 17:11
          +3

          No it doesn't, because all USB 3.1 Gen2 enclosures only go up to about 1000 MB/s (10 gbps ports). The Asus one is only USB 3.1 and also maxes out at 1000 MB/s.

          To go full speed, you need a Thunderbolt enclosure, and a desktop/laptop with a Thunderbolt 3 (40 gbps) or newer port.

          If you want full speed, then you should get a Thunderbolt enclosure, like these ones. Note that Thunderbolt enclosures are VERY EXPENSIVE.
          https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/165104472461
          https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/114702848493

          If you find those USB C Thunderbolt 3 compatible enclosures which are cheaper at about $80-90, those only run at USB 3.1 speeds. So make sure you double check!

          • ozricoy on 02/11/2021 - 18:04

            @Sleepycat3: Great tips! Thank you for taking time answering my questions. I know what to look for now to DIY portable SSD enclosure.

          • Richardc on 02/11/2021 - 20:01

            @Sleepycat3: There are also gen 2 × 2 enclosures which offer 2000MBps transfer speed.

    Will either of this fit Alienware 17 R4 ?

    • Sleepycat3 on 02/11/2021 - 16:21

      From what I understand, it comes with 1x 2280 slot filled, and there is a second 2280 slot which you can use this drive in, and a third smaller 2230 slot which is not compatible with this drive.

      So check how many drives you currently have in your laptop.

  • turna on 02/11/2021 - 08:04

    I was about to pull the trigger but saw how negligible the results are vs a SATA SSD (maybe a second or two max). Doesn't seem very bargain-worthy when essentially the same performance can be have for $100 cheaper. Primarily for gaming anyway…

    Am I missing anything? Clearly if games utilised this tech then it would be a no-brainer for that instant loading gaming experience.

    • Sleepycat3 on 02/11/2021 - 09:06

      SATA drives are fine for gaming today.

      Clearly if games utilised this tech then it would be a no-brainer for that instant loading gaming experience.

      PS5 and XBoxX both do this, and the tech is on it's way to PC gaming - so there might be a need for an NVMe drive at some point. But not yet…

    • barg99 on 02/11/2021 - 21:39

      Thanks turna, i was about to do the same. My use case was 4 x in raid0 in a primary custom built nas running vsphere. Trying to fill a aorus pro z590 with 4 x 2tb nvme ssds with 4x10gbit links. This information does make a bit of a difference, enough to seriously make me reconsider.

      The spreadsheet @nuker linked (https://www.techpowerup.com/286008/et-tu-samsung-samsung-too…) , if it is correct, shows a huge drop in performance and time for largish transfers.

      Be interested to hear if anyone else was thinking of doing something similar and has any real world experience.

      Yeh they're consumer grade but gotta find the best within budget.

        4 x 2tb nvme ssds with 4x10gbit links

        I would stick to none-SLC-cached drives if you actually need massive performance. They do cost more, but not a huge amount.

        shows a huge drop in performance and time for largish transfers.

        Do you actually do gigantic transfers ? SLC cache works fine as long as you don't exhaust it…

        interested to hear if anyone else was thinking of doing something similar

        I use 3 x 4GB 860 QVO Samsung drives in RAID0 as a 12GB storage drive, and it works absolutely fine - it's nowhere close to NVMe performance, but it's more than OK for gaming and general use 👍

    • Geekomatic on 02/11/2021 - 22:46

      Prob the fact it's NVMe & that it's getting to be the de-facto in PC's/laptops.

      For the majority, you're correct.

    • xentar on 07/11/2021 - 00:27

      You might have just saved me either wasting money or a decent second drive. I thought these were 2.5" sata ssds but if I can get a larger capacity sata drive for my empty 2280 slot thats definately the play. Cheers.

    I own an Alienware M15 R5. Wanting to add a 2nd SSD. I noticed that the spare slot does not have the mount bracket and heatshield. Is this normal for Alienware laptops? I contacted Dell tech support, was told that it doesn't come with the laptop and will need to purchase from Dell or from a 3rd party. I would have thought that Dell would be happy to provide the missing part.

    Appreciate it if anyone has purchased the mount and heatshield for an 80mm M2 drive, could you please share the model/part# and which online retailer you purchased from.

      Cheapest but requires a 4x electrical 16x physical length slot: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/124120521455
      My preferred because it has slots to use in 4x electrical 4x physical slots. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/402752143156

      • robsworld on 04/11/2021 - 09:26

        Cheers, so the idea is that you leave your graphics card in the 16x and use one of these cards in the 8x or 4x. My understanding is that the graphics card will drop to the 8x?

    Dos this Drive have the Write Bug ?

  • tmr3 on 08/11/2021 - 15:09
    +2

    I just received my 2TB 970 EVO Plus. For anyone interested, I got an older model drive (horizontal packaging) with the Phoenix controller (Production date 2021-09-01).

    I know there's a lot of scare around Samsung swapping components but IMO it's a bit of a non-issue for these drives. They could have called the Elpis drives the 975 EVO Plus or something but I genuinely believe only a tiny, tiny fraction of customers will be worse off with the newer drive, and the vast majority will either be better off or see no change.

    The newer drives using the Elpis controller appear to have much more SLC cache (115 GB vs 48 GB on the 1TB model, the 2TB Phoenix model should therefore have <=96GB of SLC cache, unsure on the 2TB Elpis), which means faster sustained write speeds if writing within the cache. Where the 1TB Phoenix model will slow from ~2600 MB/s to ~1500 MB/s after 48GB of writes, the 1TB Elpis model will maintain that higher speed through until 115GB of writes.

    If you run out of SLC cache, the native-to-TLC performance of the newer NAND flash on the Elpis model is worse due to it being higher density - the 1TB model loses around 45-50% of its write performance speed after running out of cache (Elpis ~800 MB/s vs Phoenix ~1500 MB/s). The 2TB model may not be affected by this as heavily due to needing more NAND flash chips to make up the capacity, which improves parallel write performance.

    Put another way, the 1TB Elpis drive will almost always be faster if writing more than 48GB, but less than 115GB at once. The 1TB Phoenix drive will only be faster if your transfer is well in excess of 115GB, as you need a long while for the Phoenix drive's faster native TLC rate to catch up to the Elpis drive which has raced ahead with its larger SLC cache. It's entirely possible that the 2TB Elpis drive is a straight upgrade over the 2TB Phoenix drive, but that depends on cache size, and the above would still apply as a general rule of thumb regardless.

    • Richardc on 10/11/2021 - 05:37

      Everything’s fine except the controller’s temperature would reached 100.

    • barg99 on 10/11/2021 - 12:35

      "Put another way, the 1TB Elpis drive will almost always be faster if writing more than 48GB, but less than 115GB at once."
      Note the cache is dynamic. The cache size is dependent on the amount of space used on the drive. The drive(s) will always have at least 6GB of cache.

      You'd really want the phoenix controller unless you're using it for a boot drive and not in an airflow restricted space.

    Just got my 2TB today :)

    Although I got no purchase receipt. Has anybody got a Receipt with their order either enclosed with the order or via email?

      I just print to pdf the order confirmation and sent it along to Samsung so we'll see if they accept it

    I'm having issues trying to enter my product info for the Far Cry 6 promo, anyone else running into the same issue with the Serial Number being invalid?

    I also had an invalid SN issue. Emailed Samsung's promo email that same night (two nights ago) and had a response yesterday morning to take a picture of the SN on the product or screenshot from Samsung Magician software. Did that and had acknowledgement the same afternoon and that they will be looking into it. Just waiting for them to get back to me now.
