And was it DRAM or DRAM-less? Speed? Reliability?
(If you haven't figured out, there is more than just the price to consider.)
Sounds dumb but gonna swap out the stock oem 512 drive with the Samsung and clone it and toss the oem with the oem ram in dresser. Matching 970s for 25 bucks makes me feel better as I like Samsung
I assume 970 evo plus is better than the stock micron 512 in my cheap 3050ti Lenovo legion that I got for 360.
Pretty happy w set up.
360 Lenovo legion, 40 for ram. 80 for 2 new ssd's. 480 total for my little gaming rig.
I know we all have different needs, just with how cheap its gotten, seems a waste of a limited slot to not consider a 1tb or 2tb for less than double cost at each step up.
I agree with you but my laptop specs only support 500gb. Some people say it's a liability thing for manufacturers to cover themselves. Best case scenario I buy 2tb and it shows 2tb or only supports up to 500gb, worse case it bricks my laptop which I seen no reassurance online saying that bricking is impossible. I don't want to end up spending hundreds on a new computer just to experiment with something to get the best value. I want to get the best value but if the value is the same and I don't need the space for an only browsing laptop, it seems fine to get this deal. I do think it's a big con, waste of a motherboard slot and money in a way since it takes up a motherboard slot and the mb runs out of slots. So yes definitely get the bigger drive.
It there's a better alternative, solution please let us know.
I picked up a cheap Dell refurb laptop for simple tasks. I want a larger drive so I can store my music on it. The laptop won't be used often and not for anything but simple tasks. Should I just wait for a deal on the P31? I know that is probably the right answer since I don't need the drive urgently. Has anyone used both and can compare the results?
Any nvme is fine for desktops but nvme thermals are concerning for laptops. I read many people dealing with this issue. They either put a heatsink or recommend the P31 which unfortunately is a bad value $46 500gb. Last P31 deal was $30 500gb. 970 thermal throttles but I rather not reach high temps in the first place.
TIA

I just installed a 500 and 2tb and no issue shows just fine. My 970s are idling 31c according to Samsung magician,
Edit I forgot I keep it on a little cooling tray when running so nvm. My laptops fans don't even spin when I'm gaming due to it lol
But did a timespy my scores went up slightly no overclocks.
Ryzen 5600h, 3050 ti, 16gb ram, and 512 os 970 drive and 970 2tb game storage drive
= 480 total spent. I'm happy
At nice center they had a 3050 legion, for 599. Eek
Cheap 2019 Inspiron 5570 1tb hdd instead of a small ssd in 2019, stupid purchase looking back.
I'm not worried about the limit. It's bricking the laptop I'm worried about which someone said is a reason manufacturers list the capacity so they aren't liable for damages caused by the user exceeding that limit. I'm not a tech person so I'm acting stupid risk averse since there's no guarantee my laptop won't brick. I might try it later if I decide I don't mind the risk.
This deal is good but I'll wait for the P31 since it's said to run cooler.
Ramblings past this point.
Buy a $30 970/P31 now, wait a few months and maybe see a $50 2tb 970/P31 if I can dream in case the days of ssd prices drops are ending if ssd manufacturing is scaled back.
Hope I'm wrong but my "cold hard truth" gut feeling tells me all ssd manufacturers are going to pull a nvidia and amd to increase margins despite the difference between the ssd competition and gpu duopoly. Seems now and next few months will be the best we see for a while.
I agree with you but my laptop specs only support 500gb.
That's a "tested at time of documentation" limitation, it's rarely got anything to do with reality. If the chipset supports higher limits, even on restrictive Dells, they'll usually end up supporting the chipset max.
In your case, it is likely that 500gb was the highest available for sale when it was designed, so that 500gb was a boast, not an upper limit.
I've never seen any system new enough to support NVMe drives that can't handle up to 2TB minimum.
The 1TB is $40ish. If you can afford it, get it, and if for some bizarre reason your laptop CAN'T handle it, which I highly doubt, you could put it in an external case for a backup/data drive.

Dell documents limits that are often surpassed while the hardware is still for sale on their site. I have upgraded RAM and storage on literally dozens of Dell laptops, and nearly all handled double the documented RAM and had no limit on drive space.
Your Insp 5570 WILL handle larger drives, and NO, it will NOT "brick it". The absolute worst that would happen (which it WILL NOT on the 5570) is that it wouldn't boot until the drive was removed.
I have a couple of Inspiron 5570s that I haven't refurbed yet. I will happily toss a 1TB in one of them and boot to BIOS if it will ease your fears, but trust me on this, your laptop is NOT limited to 512.
6700 time spy score.
