  This vs 1tb samsung 970 evo plus vs 1tb samsung 980?
  Use case: MacBook Air 2017 ssd upgrade.

    I'd go whichever is cheaper from the OP and the 970 EVO Plus. The 980 (non-Pro) lacks dram so is a downgrade from the 970.
    I think you need an adapter to use an NVMe with the MacBook Air 2017

      Both are same price at this time,
      OP’s listing vs 970 evo plus
      ~5gigs rw / ~3gigs rw.
      1800 tbw / 600 tbw

      Edited: checked that the heatsink cannot be removed so that rules out anyone looking at this drive for most of the laptops.

        Won’t be be able to get the max read/write speeds since it will be running at Gen 3 speeds.
        I did forget about the heatsink, not sure if it’s easy to remove and if doing so voids warranty

  Is this PS5 compatible?

    FireRunner on 17/10/2022 - 11:36

    Yep, Gen 4 NVMe

      Pretty slow. Might not get the best performance.

        likely wouldnt notice, pcie gen 4 is overkill for games anyway

          @Pugkin: Maybe. But they recommend 5500MB/s read speed min, and Samsung 980 Pro's are around $160 every few months, so I probably wouldn't risk it with this one.

      It's more the built-in heatsink I'd be worried about. Anyone know for sure?

        I saw a review on Amazon about usage in a PS5:
        "The fit is pretty tight (I had to reinsert it into my console and push it into the slot while screwing it in place so the console would recognize it), but once it's in it works very well."
        So it should work, hopefully.

  Would this be good for a Lan Li full tower?

    Depends if your motherboard supports it
    And has a spare nvme slot

      Ta will get one that does

        Chef Freeman on 17/10/2022 - 15:33

        Nvme slots are built into basically every motherboard made these days so you shouldn't have any issues with fitting it, might need to remove the heatsink if you're fitting it under the motherboards trim

  always 1tb, damn

    Danneo on 17/10/2022 - 13:47

    Wasn’t there a 2TB one for like $250 awhile back?

  I picked up one of these from Umart back in June for $149. Been a pretty good drive so far.
