Without any doubt, the Samsung 950 Pro M.2 512GB NVME SSD is the fastest consumer SSD we have tested so far, delivering extremely high sequential transfer rates and IOPS. We measured sequential read results that were four times those of the 850 Pro, and r...

The Samsung 950 Pro, much like the Intel 750 Series drives before it, makes a splash with its combination of PCIe Gen3 x4 performance and the NVMe protocol. In our review of the Intel 750 Series earlier this year, we called it the future of solid-state s...
Abstract: This is it. This is the day we have been waiting for. Ever since we feasted our eyes on the NVMe version of the Samsung SM951, we've been begging Samsung to release this as a consumer product. Bonus points if it was powered by their 3D VNAND technology. I...

The 950 Pro delivers class leading performance at a good price point, thermal envelope and low power consumption. Advanced software features seal the deal but we're still waiting to see Rapid Mode for this product.
The 950 Pro needs a 1TB model to satisfy power users and a 2TB model for gamers with large Steam / Origin libraries. Magician Software with Windows 10 support is lacking at this time but Samsung is working on it.
The Samsung 950 Pro sets a new bar for high performance storage and brings it to market at a low price point. Samsung didn't need to lean on power hungry enterprise controllers or ridiculous adapters + cables either to enable NVMe technology in desktops...
Great performance, good warranty, retail availability.
Still very expensive, requires M.2 slot (and NVMe BIOS for booting), needs Z170 to shine
