Samsung 970 EVO NVMe SSD Benchmarks On Ubuntu Linux

With the IOzone performance, the Samsung 970 EVO MZ-V7E250BW was back to competing while the more expensive Intel 800p SSD was giving it a stiff battle.

While running a PostgreSQL database server, the Intel 800p was doing a much better job than the 970 EVO or any of the other NVMe SSDs tested for that matter.

A common problem we have seen with some Samsung drives have been very poor performance with SQLite databases and with the 970 EVO it ended up being even slower than the aging Corsair Force MP500 120GB SSD.
