- We purchased this SSD and tried to find performance.
- We tried 100% sequential/random read and write, 70-30 read/write mix for sequential and random and sustained 100% write with 1m block size.
- Treat this as our review of Samsung 970 EVO plus 500G performance in our environment.
- Used direct IO and/or sync to avoid cache. Most of the benchmarks done with block level (except sustained write, see last image).
- Picked the best possible peak numbers and corresponding latencies. These are not numbers from sustained run.
- If you are interested, use with caution as performance numbers could vary depending on multiple factors. We are not liable for any loss or damages caused by using this data.
- For the purchase price ($99.99), the numbers looks acceptable to us.
