By comparison, the top-end 1TB 960 Evo only delivered 3200MB/s sequential read and 1900MB/s sequential write.
Just when you thought Samsung’s 960 Evo and 960 Pro NVMe SSDs were going to stick around for another year, today brings news of their shiny new replacements: the appropriately-named 970 Evo and 970 Pro.
The 970 Pro also improves on its 960’s endurance rating by 50%, with the 1TB model taking it up to 1200 terabytes written (TBW).
The 970 also comes in a much wider variety of sizes than the 960 Evo, ranging from 250GB all the way up to 2TB.
