Hi Noel
Technically yes BUT the Windows version you have on the M.2 will recognise that the serial number of the mainboard is different and start to tell you that the version is no longer on the same computer. If you have linked your Windows 10 key with an online Microsoft account, this problem can be solved by deleting the old PC from the licences in the Microsoft account. ATTENTION: It is highly recommended to read the product key on the old PC with a Windows 10 product key reader in order to reactivate the old Windows 10 version on the new PC. You can also do this on your new PC and use the Windows 10 product key as desired. You should also remove the new M.2 in the new PC first, otherwise the PC will boot the new operating system. Alternatively, you can also use an image programme like this one Acronis True Image 2021 Box 1 (Unlimited, 1x, Android, iOS, Windows, macOS) to make an image of your old computer and copy it back to the new one. It is then virtually a one-to-one copy.
However, I would recommend that you only transfer the data you really need to the new device. It's a clean thing to do and you can usually reinstall the programmes you need without further ado.

Most mainboards come with a cooler, which is quite sufficient. Mounted on a mainboard without a cooler is also sufficient if the enclosure is well ventilated.
The SSD has 2 temperature sensors, so you can see if the SSD is getting too warm. Temperatures <80 degrees are completely OK.
Helpful answer
The two SSDs are comparable and there is no better or worse. I would decide according to price.

Dynamic pricing - a curse and a blessing at the same time.
My Samsung 970 EVO Plus (1000GB, M.2 2280) shipped on 12/15/2019 with the latest firmware (2B2QEXM7).

Yes you can, it also makes sense. I did the same thing.

Hello Atm01, I have installed four such bars, Samsung 970 EVO Plus, on my board, Asus Maximus Extreme XI. After 12 hours of continuous operation, they have an average temperature of 41.5 degrees. This seems to me to be the normal temperature for such SSDs. I think it's more likely due to the fan system on the case with the corresponding supply and exhaust air. But 50 to 55 degrees is not a critical issue.

That's exactly how I see it!!! The same item can be listed in parallel by different suppliers at prices that are 10 times too high. This should definitely be prevented by a plausibility check. Otherwise it is simply ... Bet..g :(

unfortunately I don't have a MacBook to test, but according to the internet the mould is different, so no
Helpful answer
No, but it works very well without.
All versions have TLC memory. The designation 3-bit MLC, also used by Samsung, is the same as TLC.

Unfortunately, I have no experience with a laptop. I have installed this SSD in an HP Desktop mini and it has been running perfectly since installation.

Hello,
Thank you for your enquiry.
The Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus is not compatible with the iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5, 2017 - iMac18.2).
This SSD can be used if the motherboard has an M.2 slot. To use the full performance of the SSD, the M.2 slot should have PCIe 3.0 with 4 lanes.
Alternatively, we recommend the Samsung 870 QVO, 870 EVO, 860 PRO.
If in doubt, please enquire directly with Apple support.
Kind regards from Schwalbach

Hello,
Thank you very much for your request.
If your motherboard has an M.2 slot, you can use this SSD.
To be able to use the full performance of the SSD, the M.2 slot should have PCIe 3.0 with 4 lanes.
If in doubt, please contact the device manufacturer directly.
To find the right SSD for you and your system, take a look at the "SSD Configurator" on the Samsung homepage.
With a few short questions and in just a few minutes, we will find the right SSD for you.
To do this, please go directly to the Samsung homepage and place the mouse pointer over the "Computer" category, which is listed in the upper part of the screen.
Under the category "Recommended" you will find the "SSD Configurator", which you should select.
Alternatively, you can find the "SSD Configurator" by simply typing "Samsung - Which SSD is right for me?" into a search engine.
On the following pages you will be asked about your system and your personal requirements in order to find the right product for you.
Regarding your question about the SSD not overheating during operation, we can tell you that the drive module of the 970 EVO PLus is equipped with a thin heat spreader, and the Dynamic Thermal Guard function constantly monitors the drive. An optimal temperature is thus maintained.

With Samsung's own clone software (from the Samsung website) this works without any problems. But you need 2 m2 connections on the mainboard, or an external m2 enclosure, so that 2 m2 can run at the same time.

I do not own a Matebook but according to specs this should work just fine. I think they even ship them with the smaller 970 EVO Plus (500GB Model).

This SSD is compatible, but there is no extra slot available on the computer mentioned. However, you can replace it if you wish. :)

SSD drive not included. Internal SSD enclosure only fits M.2 SATA SSD drives, does not work with NVMe. The Samsung EVO 970 Plus is unfortunately an NVMe drive. Samsung's last SSD that would be compatible is the EVO 860.
