Samsung's new 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD lineup offers better performance at a lower price

Samsung recently announced the launch of their new 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSDs in the Indian market, and their cheaper than previous versions of Samsung's NVMe SSDs. The 970 EVO Plus is the first commercially released NVMe SSD to feature the new 96-layer 3D NAND flash memory. The new EVO Plus sets a new standard in high-performance storage. It is designed to aid gamers and IT professionals in seamlessly handling intense multitasking workloads on a PC or workstation.

Why a traditional SATA SSD is no match for an NVMe SSD?

The Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) that’s present in standard SATA SSDs will probably be able to handle single tasks at a time, really fast, but throw multiple tasks at it, simultaneously, and the bottlenecked performance will become evident.

Enter Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe). NVMe allows you to take advantage of the SSD's ability to read and write multiple tasks at once by parallelising instructions, similar to how a multi-core processor can split specific workloads over multiple cores to get things done faster, giving NVMe SSDs a significant performance improvement over traditional SATA SSDs.
