Class-leading overall performance, Chart-topping random read performance from the 970 PRO, 970 EVO warranty is now 5 years

Having already reviewed the 1TB 970 EVO, our focus for this review was to compare the 2TB model with the 1TB model. This becomes especially interesting because the 2TB 970 EVO is the first SSD we've tested with 512Gbit die flash. 512Gbit flash paves the w...
