Is the $20 difference over the WD Black SN750 worth it ?

I bought one of these on Ebay from Newegg.ca a few months ago for the same price. Price is still same as of today.

Tons of the reviews on Amazon warm about fake Samsung products being shipped.

I never buy ram or memory from Amazon.

That dude literally got a piece of cardboard. Pretty sure that must have been a shipping/inventory error

Most likely not for most users. The SN750 is already a really good drive. The 970 EVO Plus is slightly faster.

most likely not. One does not simply print a low quality image of a product and get it mixed up in shipping. The intention was to scam.

Looks like it’s the same price everywhere right now - Newegg, BestBuy, CC, MemExp, etc. Lots of alternative places to buy from.

Not sure if this matters, but a friend of mine found the SN750 ran too hot compared to the 970 Evo plus. I would be interested to know if anyone else had similar experiences?

If it is shipped and sold from Amazon you should be fine. If you have a warranty issue, you can contact Amazon and they take care of it. I had a problem with some ram that was sold by them after 8 months and it was defective. The company (Corsair) was telling me the warranty was US not Canada. I contacted Amazon and sent them the email from Corsair, they issued me a FULL refund with paid shipping. I then reordered a different brand and saved $$ as the memory prices dropped.

Make sure you get a heatsink with it. I recently found mine was peaking at 85C!! Now it's down to 72C max.

The 970 EVO PLUS should not need a heatsink if there is adequate airflow to keep it within the 0 - 70 ℃ operating temperature

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop with a 250gb nvme and would like to get a 500gb or 1tb drive. What would be the easiest way to copy my existing hard drive to the new one so that I can just swap them without having to reinstall everything?

Get a M.2 NVME SSD Enclosure.
https://www.amazon.ca/ORICO-Enclosure-E ... 08DCXB3CD/

Install the new SSD in to the enclosure
Use Macrium Reflect Free Edition to clone the ThinkPad SSD
Swap the SSD

Cloning a disk
It is possible to clone an entire hard drive or specific partitions on a hard drive. This is useful if you are upgrading to a larger hard drive. With Macrium Reflect you can boot the target disk on the same system after cloning. Cloning your hard drive creates a bootable new hard drive with the state of your computer at the time you undertook the clone.You can clone to a hard drive installed in your computer or to a hard drive installed in a USB hard-drive Caddy.

I've got plenty airflow. Every fan slot is filled. 3 out, 2 in.
