Intro - 970 EVO Plus vs SN750

Samsung 970 EVO plus vs WD BLack sn750 Review

In this Samsung 970 EVO Plus vs WD Black SN750 Benchmark review, we take a look at the new 2019 NVMe SSD drive storage options, from the two major players in the field.

Both Samsung and Western Digital are releasing these new NVMe drives, as their 2019 upgrades to last year’s Samsung 970 EVO and WD Black (2018) models.

While both previous generations performed amazingly well (and still do), both companies have managed to push out even more speed and performance from their new NVMe drive range, which is fantastic to see.

Check out my Samsung 970 EVO vs 970 EVO review or WD Black SN750 vs WD Black (2018) review, to see how well these new Nvme drives do in comparison to their previous models.

In fact these are becoming so fast, that they are actually very close to reaching the PCIe 3.0 4x speed limits of 3940MB/s (31.52 Gb/s). I predict that there may be one more generation of NVMe drives before both Samsung and WD are forced to move onto the faster PCIe 4.0 generation, especially with the new Ryzen 3000 series supporting PCIe 4.0 in the near future.

I will be skipping over some of the technical explanations such as the difference between TCL and MCL, as well as TurboWrite, as I have already covered those in my previous Samsung 970 PRO Review. So if you are unfamiliar with any of these terms, make sure to give that a quick read, to better understand the contents of this review.

With all that said, let’s get on with this 970 EVO Plus vs WD Black SN750 review, and see how these two NVMe drives compare in advertised specs and performance.

Specifications - 970 EVO Plus vs WD Black SN750

Both the Samsung 970 EVO Plus and WD Black SN750 NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) drives, follow the same M.2, 2280 (22mm wide x 80mm long) standard.

As stated above, both make use of the PCIe 3.0 4x connection, for an approximately 4GB/s (4000MB/s) of available bandwidth.

The new NVMe SSD drives from Samsung, make use of their 96-layer TLC (Triple-Level Cell/3bit) NAND, making it an upgrade on the previous 970 EVO’s 64-layer TLC, while Western Digital still make use of their 64-Layer 3D TLC NAND, made by Sandisk (who are now owned by Western Digital).

Samsung are making use of the same Phoenix Controller, while WD are also making use of their same in house controller, although some optimization tweaks have been made, in order to output the better performance listed below.

Both companies continue to use NVMe 1.3 Protocol, while also still supporting their 5 year warranties, as before.

Performance - Advertised Speeds

Competition between product companies is always good for us as consumers. It breaks monopolies and thus forces all parties involved, to create better products for lower prices. Two things, we as consumers will never have a problem with.

AMD have done this with both Intel, taking them on with their very popular Ryzen 2000 (and upcoming 3000) series processors, as well as giving Nvidia a wake up call with their new Radeon VII cards.

In 2017/2018, Western Digital did the same, as they entered the the NVMe market, that was solely lead by Samsung, who were able to put exorbitant prices on their SSD storage, due to having no competition to worry about.

This was thanks to Western Digital acquiring Sandisk in 2016, in order to make use of their expertise in the flash storage field, helping them take on Samsung. They have done a stellar done thus far to say the least, matching the 970 EVO series very closely and even taking on Samsung higher end 970 PRO series with this recent SN750 release.

Let’s have a look at what the advertised speeds are from both the new Samsung 970 EVO ($118.00) and the WD Black SN750 ($110.00), using their 1TB version as use cases.

Feature	970 EVO Plus 1TB	WD SN750 1TB	Percent Difference
Sequential Read (Q32T1)	3500 MB/s	3470 MB/s	30 (1%) MB/s Faster	0.86%
Sequential Write (Q32T1)	3300 MB/s	3000 MB/s	300 (10%) MB/s Faster	10.00%
4KB Random Read (Q32T8)	600k IOP/s	515k IOP/s	85k (17%) IOP/s Faster	16.50%
4KB Random Write (Q32T8)	550k IOP/s	560k IOP/s	-10k (-2%) IOP/s Faster	-1.79%
4KB Random Read (Q1T1)	19k IOP/s	17k IOP/s	2k (12%) IOP/s Faster	11.76%
4KB Random Write (Q1T1)	60k IOP/s	60k IOP/s	0k (0%) IOP/s Faster	0.00%

Both the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB and WD Black SN750 NVMe 1TB drives offer the same Sequential Read speeds of 3,500MB/s, while the 970 EVO Plus pulls ahead by 300MB/s (10%) in the Sequential Write speeds, with its 3,300MB/s, over the SN750’s 2,900MB/s.

As photographers and videographers, Sequential Write speed is what we look for in SD Cards and SSD Drives when using external monitors or recorders, such as the recently announced, Atomos Ninja V. This is because, in general photos and video are large, single files, rather than many small files. We thus use sequential speeds when working with single large files.

In the 4KB Random Read (QD32) performance specs, we see a 17% lead from the 970 EVO Plus, with its 600k IOP/s (2344MB/s) advertised performance over the WD Black SN750’s 515k IOP/s (2012MB/s) advertised 4KB Random Read (QD32) speeds.

The SN750 advertises 2% faster 4KB Random Write (QD32) speeds, with is 560k IOP/s (2148MB/s), over the 970 EVO Plus’s 550k IOP/s (2188MB/s) .

These 4K Random tests show speeds of your day to day use of your computer, which has to copy or load many small files, such as when you load a game or application, or copy a folder with many files in it.

In both sequential and random, the speeds your computer will achieve, will also depend on the speed of the other components of your computer.

Crystal Disk Mark 6, put these two NVMe drives to the test in both the above Sequential and 4KB Random tests, seeing what the actual performance is in both Read and Write situations.

Sequential Read Speeds

In my tests, the Samsung 970 EVO Plus achieved a Sequential Read speed of 3572MB/s, which is 75MB/s (2%) faster than the 3497MB/s, achieved by the WD Black SN750.

Sequential Write Speeds

The Sequential Write speed tests showed similar results of 3342MB/s from the Samsung 970 EVO Plus, making it 322MB/s (11%) faster than the 3020MB/s, achieved by the WD Black SN750.

In both Sequential Read and Write situations, both the 970 EVO Plus and WD SN750 NVMe drives, blasted out ultra fast speeds that will certainly keep any video editor or photographer more than happy.

Crystal Disk Mark outputs an array of slightly different 4KB Random Read and Write tests, that vary in the Queue Depth (Q) and Threads (T) per test. This gives us a nice, all round summary of the overall performance.

4KB Random Read/Write (Q8T8)

In the 4KB Random Read (Q8T8) test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 1955MB/s which is 253MB (15%) Faster than the 1702MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.
In the 4KB Random Write (Q8T8) test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 2044MB/s which is 150MB (14%) Faster than the 1894MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.

4KB Random Read/Write (Q32T1)

In the 4KB Random Read (Q32T1) test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 793MB/s which is 85MB (12%) Faster than the 708MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.
In the 4KB Random Write (Q32T1) test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 729MB/s which is 23MB (3%) Faster than the 706MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.

4KB Random Read/Write (Q1T1)

In the 4KB Random Read (Q1T1) test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 56MB/s which is 2MB (4%) Faster than the 54MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.
In the 4KB Random Write (Q1T1) test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 243MB/s which is 17MB (8%) Faster than the 226MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.

In summary, we again see the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB, taking the lead ever so slightly over the WD Black SN750 1TB. Again you will most likely not notice any difference between the two in real world usage of your computer.

Benchmarks - AS SSD

AS SSD	970 EVO Plus 1TB	WD SN750 1TB	Percent Difference
4K Random Read	61 MB/s	49 MB/s	12 MB/s (24%) Faster	24.49%
4K Random Write	191 MB/s	185 MB/s	6 MB/s (3%) Faster	3.24%

Sequential Write	2848 MB/s	2675 MB/s	173 MB/s (6%) Faster	6.47%

AS SSD does similar Sequential and 4KB Random tests, to CrystalDiskMark, but with slightly different algorithms, so lets see what results it gives us for the Read and Write performances of the two NVMe 1TB drives.

Sequential Read Speeds

In my tests, the Samsung 970 EVO Plus achieved a Sequential Read speed of 2945MB/s, which is 14MB/s (0.5%) faster than the 2931MB/s, achieved by the WD Black SN750.

Sequential Write Speeds

The Sequential Write speed tests showed similar results of 2848MB/s from the Samsung 970 EVO Plus, making it 173MB/s (6%) faster than the 2675MB/s, achieved by the WD Black SN750.

As with the CDM tests, the Sequential Read and Write performances in both the 970 EVO Plus and WD SN750 NVMe drives, produced similar results, showing the 970 EVO slightly ahead once again.

Let’s take a look at what AS SSD give us in terms of its 4KB Random Read and Write tests

4KB Random Read/Write

In the 4KB Random Read test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 61MB/s which is 12MB (24%) Faster than the 49MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.
In the 4KB Random Write test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 191MB/s which is 6MB (3%) Faster than the 185MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.

4KB Random Read/Write (64)

In the 4KB Random Read (64) test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 1754MB/s which is 22MB (1%) Slower than the 1776MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.
In the 4KB Random Write (64) test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 2080MB/s which is 155MB (8%) Faster than the 1925MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.

In summary, we again see the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB, taking the lead ever so slightly over the WD Black SN750 1TB, in the 4K tests, although losing in the 4KB Random Read (64) test.

Another interesting test that AS SSD gives us is to simulate the load speeds of an ISO file (single large file such a a video or ISO) to test the sequential speeds. It also has two other tests, where is simulates a Game Copy (lots of small files) to test random speeds. The last test is opening an Application/Program (Photoshop, Chrome, MS Word etc), to test the speeds of these as well.

Naturally the more MB/s, the faster these loads and copy will happen.

ISO Copy Test

In the ISO copy test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 2296MB/s which is 268MB (13%) Faster than the 2080MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.

Application Load Test

In the Application Load test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 917MB/s which is 60MB (7%) Faster than the 857MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.

Game Copy Test

In the Game Copy test, the 970 EVO Plus achieved 1950MB/s which is 61MB (3%) Faster than the 1889MB/s, of the WD Black SN750.

Here we see a good 7% to 13% better performance from the 970 EVO Plus 1TB, compared to the Western Digital Black SN750 NVMe drive.

So here you might see better performance in real world situations with the 970 EVO Plus 1TB, although very slightly.

TurboWrite

As discussed in my Samsung 970 PRO Review, it performs at MLC 2-bit speeds, while the 970 EVO and EVO Plus, perform slower due to their 3-bit TLC.

While the 970 Pro and 970 EVO’s have very similar read and write speeds, the beneficial difference between the two is that the 970 PRO is able to give a true constant speed output, while the 970 EVO, reaches a cache limit cap, causing them to slow down.

Samsung achieved these speeds, with the 970 EVO, by treating some of its TLC (Triple-Level Cell) NAND, as SLC (Single-Level Cell) NAND, which is a 1-bit and MUCH faster.

This gives it that burst of speed, which creates a much faster NAND cache speed performance temporarily. It cannot however retain that burst forever, and once it reaches the cap, it will slow down to 3-bit again.

Think of it as a 100m sprinter or a cheetah. They can do excessive high speeds, but only for a short amount of time, before they start to eventually slow down.

The same happens with the 970 EVO NVMe drives, although, thanks to additional firmware tuning, from Samsung engineers, together with the faster speeds from the 96-layer V-NAND, were able to deliver faster speeds than before.

This increase has also benefited the TurboWrite speeds, thus giving the new 970 EVO plus drives, much faster sequential write speeds, even when under their cache limitations, compared to the original 970 EVO.

The speed limitation only comes into play when you are copying very large files. Anything below a single file this large, will not be influenced by this cache limitation.

The TurboWrite speed limitations, will depend on the capacity (size) of the 970 EVO Plus drive you buy, as follows:

250GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus ($34.99)
- Up to 13GB of data (at a time) at full Turbowrite speed of 2,300MB/s
- Files above 13GB will slow down to the regular 400MB/s write speed
500GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus ($44.31)
- Up to 22GB of data (at a time) at full Turbowrite speed of 3,200MB/s
- Files above 22GB will slow down to the regular 900MB/s write speed
1TB 970 Samsung 970 EVO ($59.99)
- Up to 42GB of data (at a time) at full Turbowrite speed of 3,300MB/s
- Files above 42GB will slow down to the regular 1,700MB/s write speed

Looking at the above, you will quickly see that the bigger the capacity of the 970 EVO Plus SSD NVMe drive you have, the better TurboWrite speeds become.

So while the 970 EVO plus advertises faster Sequential Write speeds compared to the WD Black SN750, it does have its limitations. Although a regular user will hardly ever see these take place. The only time you will, is if you are copying a really large file, which can be the case for video editors who have to deal with video files that are multiple GB big.

However, using a 1TB Samsung 970 EVO plus, gives you up to 42GB before this limitation kicks in. This is a very large file, even for editors, so the changes of even them reaching this limitation is rare.

Endurance - 970 EVO Plus vs WD Black SN750

The lifespan or endurance of an NVMe SSD storage device is measured in TeraBytes Written TBW.

Basically a drive has a warranty of only being able to copy so many TeraBytes before it will stop working.

The TeraBytes Written is different depending on which capacity drive you buy. Both the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB ($59.99) and WD Black SN750 250GB ($79.89), offer 600TBW.

Endurance	Samsung	Western Digital	Percent Difference
	970 EVO Plus 250GB	WD SN750 250GB
TBW	150 TBW	200 TBW	-50 (-25%) TBW More	-25.00%
	970 EVO Plus 500GB	WD SN750 500GB
TBW	300 TBW	300 TBW	0 (0%) TBW More	0.00%
	970 EVO Plus 1TB	WD SN750 1TB
TBW	600 TBW	600 TBW	0 (0%) TBW More	0.00%

Samsung 970 EVO Plus

Western Digital Black SN750

Which is best - 970 EVO Plus or WD Black SN750

As with all purchasing, the answer to which is going to be the best NVMe drive to buy depends on two factors

Your Needs and your Budget.

The Samsung 970 EVO Plus is ahead in terms of performance, but how does it match up in terms of price?

Cost	Samsung	Western Digital	Percent Difference
	970 EVO Plus 250GB	WD SN750 250GB
MSRP	$88	$75	13 (17%) $ More	17.33%
Cost per GB	$0.35 /GB	$0.30 /GB	0.05 (17%) $ More	16.67%
	970 EVO Plus 500GB	WD SN750 500GB
MSRP	$128	$120	8 (7%) $ More	6.67%
Cost per GB	$0.26 /GB	$0.24 /GB	0.02 (8%) $ More	8.33%
	970 EVO Plus 1TB	WD SN750 1TB
MSRP	$248	$240	8 (3%) $ More	3.33%
Cost per GB	$0.25 /GB	$0.24 /GB	0.01 (4%) $ More	4.17%

As of 22 February 2019, here is the cost per GB breakdown

Making the 1TB version the best value for money and the 250GB the worst.

Again, the 1TB is best value per GB, and is also a good choice to optimize your limited NVMe ports on your motherboard as its always best o to buy the biggest capacity drives for the most storage, per NVMe port.

I’d recommend the 1TB over the 500GB for that reason.

Again the 250GB version is by far the worst value. I wouldn’t waste the money buying that.

[bs-heading title=”Best 1TB NVMe” show_title=”1″ icon=”” title_link=”” heading_color=”#733192″ heading_style=”default” bs-show-desktop=”1″ bs-show-tablet=”1″ bs-show-phone=”1″ bs-text-color-scheme=”” css=”” custom-css-class=”” custom-id=”” heading_tag=”h3″]

The Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB ($59.99) at $0.25/GB, is the best NVMe currently on the market, matching the WD Black SN750 1TB ($110.00) in price, but offering better performance.

This will give you the fastest speed and performance currently available, even beating that of the Samsung 970 PRO 1TB ($459.99).

Both these new NVME SSD drives are equally priced, compared to last years models, while offering better performance, so Id rather buy the new versions..

1TB is the best choice for those wanting to store their games or work for the fastest access times, together with a respectable amount of storage capacity per limited NVMe slots.

[bs-heading title=”Best 500GB NVMe” show_title=”1″ icon=”” title_link=”” heading_color=”#733192″ heading_style=”default” bs-show-desktop=”1″ bs-show-tablet=”1″ bs-show-phone=”1″ bs-text-color-scheme=”” css=”” custom-css-class=”” custom-id=”” heading_tag=”h3″]

If you are looking for a 500GB NVMe, then the WD Black SN750 500GB ($67.90) is the best price per GB at $0.24/GB,

Although, for the extra $0.02/GB (8%), the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB ($44.31) offers much better Sequential Write performance at 3200MB/s vs the 2600MB/s of the SN750 500GB, as well as much better 4KB Random Write performance.

Based on this, my personal preference would be with Samsung again.

500GB is best used as a boot drive, although can naturally also be used as storage or as an extra cache drive for editing programs such as Adobe Premiere or Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 15 ($295.00)

[bs-heading title=”Best 250GB NVMe” show_title=”1″ icon=”” title_link=”” heading_color=”#733192″ heading_style=”default” bs-show-desktop=”1″ bs-show-tablet=”1″ bs-show-phone=”1″ bs-text-color-scheme=”” css=”” custom-css-class=”” custom-id=”” heading_tag=”h3″]

Looking at the smallest capacity NVMe drives, the WD Black SN750 250GB ($79.89) is 17% cheaper at $0.30/GB, compared to the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 250GB ($34.99) at $0.35/GB. Here again the advertised sequential and random write speeds of the Samsung do beat the WD Black. Here you will just need to decide if that sacrifice is worth saving $13?

While I wouldn’t recommend going as low as a 250GB drive, you can again naturally use it as a boot, storage or cache drive, but wont be able to store much else on it. I just wouldn’t go this small as you are wasting a precious NVMe slot on your motherboard, which are in short supply to begin with. Best to go 500GB or more.

The price per GB on these small drives is also much higher (34%) compared to the 500GB and 1TB NVMe versions, so you are in fact paying more in the long run as well. Better to invest that money into one of the larger options.

Conclusion

Well hope you enjoyed this Samsung 970 EVO Plus vs WD Black SN750 Benchmark review.

The new drives made what was the perfect drive last year, even better. No reason not to buy one of these beauties to help speed up an old machine or with a new build. They are also a perfect fit for a few 860 EVO drives as well. You can read my 970 EVO plus vs 860 EVO review here.

While Western Digital trail slightly in the benchmarks, they are certainly no slouch and I would definitely pick one up if they are on a special price, making the small difference in performance justified, otherwise Samsung still lead the race. But I commend WD for keeping them on their toes and making this amazing storage technology far more affordable than what it was less than two years ago.

Until next time, cheers.
