SSD Battle Royale - Samsung 970 EVO Plus vs WD Black SN750 | Hardware

[@PCGamesN]

It's Samsung vs. Western Digital... which would you chose?

[@shadowrainexia]

ADATA SX8200 Pro is what I would choose. Or shall I say what I have already chosen. Real world, gaming and benchmark performance is negligible on all 3 except that the ADATA has a lead in TBW by 60TB on the 1TB drive. And the price difference in my country is around 33% less vs the 2 leading drives.

[@00thetha]

SX8200 Pro. Money is the main factor when performance is so alike to Samsung's SSDs incl the EVO plus. You can't beat the value of the SX8200 Pro

[@kent6732]

PCGamesN Samsung most likely. Love the Magician software. So easy to clone, over provision and check/upgrade firmware.

[@TheRasmusdc]

Western digital, since it is multilayer instead of triple layer, so will not loose performance at the same rate, when it is filled with data. i know it is not 4x layers, but it is still a lot to go from 2x layers to 3x layers

[@DDDE44]

Your tests are just pathetic! Bad

[@RonT222]

On Amazon WD 1TB is now $135 and the Evo Plus 1TB is now $190. Pretty sure I won't be able to see the slightest difference when gaming between the two, but will certainly see the $55 difference in my bank.

[@geraltofrivia4890]

[@kerrybaldino8826]

Contrary to what the video says, Random 4K, even being synthetic testing, is more important for normal use than sequential moving speeds. So the 970 EVO Plus random read speed being around double that of the WD Black means it will be noticeably better for normal use, if you are looking at things closely.

[@joemarz2264]

Correct, and very noticeable

[@DeanT1987]

I’m sure u didn’t regret it because I didn’t.

[@johnallen6787]

I choose the WD based on a few things. It has the capacity to operate for both leisure and business needs, I like the fact there' an option [Gaming] that will not allow the drive to save power... I'm a music producer and power is king in the studio. Latency causes complications. I own a Mac late 2013 desktop computer and an SSD will definitely help my workflow, and finally the Samsung 970 EVO Plus is not compatible to my Mac, I'm impressed the WD Black is slightly behind the "Pro" version of Samsung. [PS. I maxed out my RAM as well]

[@Zeet1]

In 2020 I’ve gone with Western Digital Black mainly because of price and sales I’ve seen. Bought a 500GB for $65 and just recently a 1TB for $115. 500GB is my OS boot and my 1TB my game library folder (which was on a 5400rpm HDD)

[@retrocny5625]

I chose the WD Black 1TB NVME for my new build. It's over $40 cheaper at this time compared to the 970 EVO Plus from Samsung, for the same amount of storage and performance that is so similar that the average user is never going to see any real tangible difference in performance between the two. It also has over 250 5-egg reviews at this point. I paid $139.99 for it at the time, which was $10 off it's usual price of $149.99. The 1TB EVO Plus is still $190 on Newegg. I've used WD drives for decades now and have never had any issues with them, I trust their reliability and their warranty has always been great. That price difference is too big to ignore. Newegg states that these read/write speeds are exclusive to WD's drives that are 1TB or higher..so I'm not sure what the performance of their 500GB drives are. Either way, happy with my purchase. This NVME drive is lightning fast and does everything I need it too without any issues, including thermals. It's been a great drive and deserving of the 5-egg reviews it's getting on Newegg.

What you didn't mention is Warranty but they both have 5 years so no issue there. In Australia the WD Black is a fair bit more expensive than the samsung at $389 AUD for the 1TB version compared to the 1TB Samsung for $340 AUD

[@yosoy1loco]

When performance is so similar, especially for storage other criterias not covered in the video become much more important: Temperatur, Power consumption, Reliablility of the cache and flash as well as longelivity of the controller. In that regard do we have any useful information about this? Or would this be a No-Go, since then one brand would get kicked out?

[@blackisblack22]

The reason why I bought EVO Plus is because I found out that WD gets too hot and do throttling to not melt. The fall in performance is dramatic. I do not remember the link to share to you.

[@yosoy1loco]

@@blackisblack22 That is interesting. In the test i found the Black 750SN was one of the most efficient drives while also beeing on of the fastes at workloard: www.tomshardware.com/reviews/wd-black-sn750-ssd,5957-2.html Scroling down to the last Pictures. I would have assumed that it is getting not as hot as the evo. I dont know. Funnily enough the WD black has still a lot more powerconsumption when idle: www.anandtech.com/show/13760/the-western-digital-wd-black-sn750-ssd-review/9 Yet, this is only in ranges of 0 - 0.6 watt. So i dont know what causes more degradition, havin efficient workloads or efficient idling power. This is by the way the same problem that this study is pointing at: 0b4af6cdc2f0c5998459-c0245c5c937c5dedcca3f1764ecc9b2f.r43.cf2.rackcdn.com/23105-fast16-papers-schroeder.pdf And quess what: In terms of CPU binning and overclocking the problem seems also be heavily related to Electromigration and Charge trapping, but we get no fucking info on that how modern hardware deals with this core-problem.

[@daisyduck8593]

THX for the video. Today in Germany WD 1TB SN750 had pretty good price 113€ and Samsung 1TB 970 evo plus 149€. I ordered the WD drive and still think it is the best choice for me at the moment...

[@SharpSteelz]

I just got the Evo Plus, they were both $140 as of today so I figured the Samsung is the better choice. Also WD keeps making budget drives with similar names that is extra confusing like the WD black SN750 SE, it bothers me and its not very consumer friendly

[@dradfulboss]

Ridiculous how all these reviews always magically ignore the most important stat for humans (you know the people buying these drives), which is random read time, aka the times it takes for apps to load up and be usable by the user. I've been searching the web far and wide and it's all the same marketing BS sequential reads and write, which have a place, but are of little value if you don't have a workstation and transfer huge data repeatedly. As a computer programmer I want to know how long will I have to wait less for the IDE to fire up, or for the operative system to boot completely. Transferring files at a quintillion MB/s is irrelevant.

[@full-light]

Samsung because they're driving magician software is incredible!

[@tkirk85]

That black Star Wars hoody is so epic!!!!

[@trichomaxxx]

This video is missing out the most important for me: Sustained write speed after cache runs out. According to a tom's hardware review, the 1TB Samsung 970P will drop to around 850MB/s after writing around 30GB of sequential data as it runs out of cache and starts to write directly to the TLC flash and I was wondering how WD SN750, which's also TLC, would behave in this respect. On the Intel 660p which is QLC, for example, the speeds will drop to lower than a mechanical hard drive after running out of cache.

[@yf-zp5zf]

I've heard this multiple times, you're absolutely right. If you find which one keeps better (Samsung vs WD vs Adata), please let me know. Cheers!

[@skip741x3]

i believe the 1TB evo plus runs at 1700mbs or there abouts after the cache ..i have the 500gb plus and it drops to 850 ..im sure the 1TB has much higher speeds after the cache

2:59 What did everything else use if Samsung's the first to use nickel on it? I don't know what WD or other companies use. They say nickel will improve thermals meaning whatever's used by everyone else is DEFINITELY NOT COPPER OR ALUMINUM because nickel is not exactly the best heat conductor. Here's my guess, STEEL! If anyone has any better estimated suggestions reply here. I'm just glad any company improved SSD controller thermals at all, because we all know that nand cells love heat and the controllers hate it, so this is a big step up for NAND-KIND. This means we don't really need a heatsink since nand and nickel are a good conbination for maintaining heat in general, it can stay up to 70c without much worry. Even if you use a heatsink, nickel can transfer heat faster.

The Samsung 970 EVO Plus has a 3-yr warranty, the Western Digital SN750 has a 5-yr warranty, I am sure that will influence some buyer's decision.

I found wd black m.2 1tb sn 750 in ebay New 82$ should i boy it?

[@nourhanraffat1486]

eBay is kind of sketchy, but it depends on what you think is best. If it's used, it may be on its last strand, and the owner is trying to get a quick buck out of it. If it's new, that is one heck of a deal!

You both guys look like GOT actors.

What's the difference between Samsung 970 Pro and Samsung 970 Evo Plus?

[@cuspOFmystery]

970 Pro has highest write speads and a premium version but 970 who pro is mid range and have the highest read speads in m.2 gen 3 .

[@TrinityDaniels]

Considering upgrading my 500gb Macbook Pro mid-2014 version. Leaning towards the Samsung, but which one is better?

[@taegire]

I transferred Modern Warfare (Warzone + Multiplayer) a total of 181 gigabytes from my SATA SSD to my this SN750 (that was plugged into a pcie 2.0 slot) and it took a total of 6 minutes. I was fucking blown away.

[@jarednielsen6232]

what is this a review in stereo mode?

[@Zicore47]

This is all cool and all, but you need to do a bit more show and don't tell, or show while telling, it's hard to keep track with so many numbers.

[@vincwis]

Today you can get the 2TB 970 EVO Plus for $199.00

Thank you for removing my buyer's remorse!!
