I had a slightly older system of 4 years with an SSD already, so I wasn't expecting much gain. But this 970 EVO just makes my computer feel a little snappier, even without a fresh install of Windows.
Easy to install if you have an M.2 port instead of the earlier SATAIII drives with cables.
Since I had such a previous model, I could use the empty port for this SSD and leave my previous SSD. Then, via the downloadable migration software tool, the data from my previous drive was copied onto the new one.
What is not said with that software is that the motherboard can have trouble with 2 different drives that have the same bootloader. I couldn't select the new SSD as the boot drive if the previous drive was active. It only worked when the old one was disconnected.
What I then did is with a Linux Live USB installation, completely wiped the old SSD. After that I was able to leave the old disk and the PC just started up with the new disk and old disk in the same system.
Not difficult in the end, but you should know before you assume that the SSD would not work or something. :)

Easy installation in my Macbook Pro Retina late 2013 with adapter. More than twice as fast as the original SSD. Feels like an excellent quality product.
