## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between this 980 1tb ssd and the 970 evo 1tb?**
A: tl;dr - the 980 runs cooler, since it's not got that DRAM cache, and it will write 20GB a whopping .6 seconds slower than the 970 EVO Plus and 1.3 seconds faster than the 970 EVO.   980 is hands-down the SSD to pick.  Details to follow if you're interested:

tl;you're STILL going to read?  OK, here ya go:

Here's a rundown on how you would perceive the speed difference between the 970 EVO and the 980.  At these verified _maximum_ transfer rates - if you are writing a 20 GB file okay?  WRITING a 20GB file (assuming the source drive is not a bottleneck, i.e. is equivalent for both), the _theoretical_ elapsed time for the different SSDs is:

The 980                  will write that 20GB in ~6.7 seconds (at 3000 MB/s)
The 970 EVO Plus will write that 20GB in ~6.1 seconds (at 3300 MB/s)
The 970 EVO         will write that 20GB in ~8 seconds (at 2500 MB/s)

Which is to say that the differences would normally not be perceived.  When considering that the 980, without the DRAM, is generating less heat - which matters - I would definitely go with the 980 for better heat management and a $20 savings over the 970 EVO Plus  (2021-05-16 prices).   You're only losing .6 seconds for those frequent huge file writes, heh.   

20 GB is easily 3 to 5 full-length videos, in HD, or more - in under 7 seconds!  Crazy.

Yep, go with the 980 with lower heat and wave goodbye to the .6 seconds... Ehh, probably not enough time to wave - wink goodbye. ;-)

As far as downloads - I cannot conceive of a situation where these SSDs will have ANY effect upon the speed. Period.  Even on a super-fast broadband connection, the network is going to be the bottleneck.  We are not quite getting multiple GB/s on typical broadband service.  Typically, even a SATA drive at 550 MB/s will surpass most broadband download speeds, substantially even - most of the time.  

My .02 and change.

Yeah - the cooler-running 980 would be my pick.  The 980 wasn't available when I got the 970 EVO at $135, and the Plus was $170 back then.  At that time, I reasoned that the fully ONE WHOLE SECOND SLOWER for that 20GB file was something I could probably live with.  Samsung is doing really well - consistently at the top.

Sorry so verbose.

**Q: What is the difference between 970 evo plus vs 980 ssd?**
A: From what I have read, 970 has built in cache and 980 doesn't.  However, 980 being newer has other features. In real everyday performance, I cannot see a difference. I have 2 computers with same motherboard chipset and processors. One boots to a 970 the other to a 980. Equal performance in my opinion. I would get whichever is the best price. Hope this helps.

**Q: I have older asrock z370 pro4 motherboard, it says it supports ultra m2 ssd, but not sure if nvme is supported? do nvme drives need different m2 slot?**
A: According to the specs on your motherboard:   
2 x Ultra M.2 Sockets (M2_1 and M2_2), supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) *Supports NVMe SSD as boot disks

This is key type 2280 so it will work for you

**Q: Is the ssd compatible with amd ryzen ™ 7 3750h (um700 minisforum)?**
A: you need to check with your laptop official website
