Samsung 970 EVO Plus review: a great SSD and a definite evolution

Why can’t all PC hardware be like the Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD? Things would just be so much better. We wouldn’t mind having constant, iterative releases of graphics cards if they were ever cheaper at launch. We honestly wouldn’t mind a drop in demand and an oversupply of hardware delivering price decreases on new products. We wouldn’t mind companies passing those manufacturing savings on to us. With the solid state drives of today we’re getting higher performance at getting on for half the price of the same capacity this time last year. The new Samsung 970 EVO Plus is the perfect case in point - when Samsung unveiled the 970 EVO last year the NVMe drive was one of the fastest available and the 1TB version cost a princely £376 at launch, now the faster 970 EVO Plus is here costing just £234. Now, this isn’t purely down to the benevolence of our Samsung overlords - Apple's iPhone decline and subsequent global oversupply of NAND has driven component pricing down - but you’re still getting a more powerful product than the previous SSD without the same level of wallet tax. And that’s a rarity in these tough times of ours.
