Samsung 970 EVO 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 (NVMe) Encrypted Internal SSD

The Samsung MZ-V7E1T0E is a 1 TB solid state drive that brings the speed and security of the 970 EVO line to any system with an open M.2 2280 slot. Built on the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface, it moves large files quickly and shortens boot times, making it a practical upgrade for ultrabooks, gaming rigs, and professional workstations alike.

Sequential read performance reaches up to 3 400 MB per second, while sequential writes top out at 2 500 MB per second. A dedicated 1 GB DRAM buffer pairs with the Samsung Phoenix controller to keep those speeds steady during long transfers or heavy multitasking. Underneath, Samsung V-NAND multi-level cell flash provides the high density and endurance that power users expect.

For anyone who works with confidential material, the drive’s hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption adds peace of mind. It meets TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE 1667 standards, which allows straightforward integration into managed IT environments or systems that require device-level protection.

The 970 EVO is also designed to last. It carries a 600 TB total-bytes-written rating and a 1.5 million-hour mean time between failures, numbers that speak to long-term reliability. Even under heavy load, power draw peaks at just 10 W, and it idles at about 30 mW, helping laptops stay cool and conserve battery life.

Whether you are editing 4K video, running multiple virtual machines, or simply giving an older desktop a new lease on life, this drive delivers speed, security, and durability without taking up more space than a stick of gum.
