Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus Review: Optimized For Speed
Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus - HD Tune Benchmarks
EFD Software's HD Tune is described on the company's web site as such: "HD Tune is a hard disk utility with many functions. It can be used to measure the drive's performance, scan for errors, check the health status (S.M.A.R.T.), securely erase all data and much more." The latest version of the benchmark added temperature statistics and improved support for SSDs, among a few other updates and fixes.
The 1TB and 250GB SSD 970 EVO Plus both put up strong read performance with HD Tune’s workload, and trail only the 970 Pro. Due to the fact that this test writes data across the entire drive, which saturates the Turbowrite cache, average write performance for the EVO Plus drives is somewhat lower, but still strong overall.
