Insanely fast with large files, Up to 2TB capacity
Just average with small files, Pricey
and buying advice If your laptop or desktop supports the 960 Pro, then it's the consumer-grade NVMe SSD you want. Assuming the price is competitive, that is. If you find others at substantial savings, you'll be nearly as impressed. Copying 20GB in 11...

Having just had the Samsung 960 Pro through our offices with all its class-leading performance and barely believable benchmarks it would be easy to consider the Evo as a mediocre pudding after an amazing dinner. After all, we've seen what the best possibl...

With a street price at almost $1300, I don't see how to get the return on the investment. Traced back benchmarks show very little improvements, even when compared to SATA III devices. That has nothing to do with Samsung. At this time, Operating Systems an...
Fastest performing value-oriented consumer M.2, Up to 1TB of capacity, Outperformed the Pro version in a handful of tests
Loses some of the top-end steam compared to the Pro model
The Samsung 960 EVO is the best performing value-oriented M.2 NVMe drive on the market, that is offered in capacities up to 1TB and starts at an affordable price. ...
It remains to be a trivial thing to explain where the actual benefit of a 3GB/s SSD is to be found as honestly, for normal workloads you are not going to notice that difference. See, a regular (modern) SATA3 SSD will already load up stuff in a split seco...
Best performing M.2 (TLC) SSDs tested to date, Outsanding performance for their price, Write speeds in our mixed workload test beat even the 960 PRO
Compared to 600p, cost is still high (but these 960 EVO outperforms by a large margin)
Samsung has finally brought their TurboWrite technology to an NVMe M.2 SSD, and it absolutely did not disappoint! Performance of the tested 250GB and 1TB samples came close to the 960 PRO and frequently outpaced even the 950 PRO. The new TurboWrite caches...

Stunning.The Samsung NVMe 960 Pro M.2 SSD is so insanely, mind-blowingly fast that we're in danger of running out of superlatives. We've very quickly gone from being stunned by some great regular SSDs, to being blown away by NVMe ones, to this behemoth.To...

Improved speed from previous generation makes this the fastest consumer SSD on market, Available in capacities up to 2TB
Pricey, Has a shorter warranty than Samsung's other high-end drives
The Samsung SSD 960 Pro is an internal solid-state drive capable of blistering read speeds of up to 3,500MBps. Cheaper drives with similar specs will be on the way, so you may want to wait if price is an issue...

As expected Samsung's latest flagship M.2 NVMe SSD is fast, very fast. Performance wise it is a good step forward from the previous 950 Pro series, though most 950 owners won't feel the need to rush out an upgrade just yet as Samsung's last seasons M2 dri...
