Samsung’s new 970 Evo Plus improves an already excellent SSD

The Samsung 970 Evo is already one of the best SSDs you can get for a desktop PC. It is fast with a relatively aggressive price-per-gigabyte. But now, Samsung is improving on this product with the 970 Evo Plus.

This new SSD features a 96-layer 3D NAND compared to the 970 Evo’s 64 layers. What that means is that Samsung can cram more capacity into a smaller footprint while also improving performance. Like the previous generation, the 970 Evo Plus is an M.2 form factor that connects to your motherboards NVMe port for faster speeds.
