Thermal envelope and low power consumption. Advanced software features seal the deal but we're still waiting to see Rapid Mode for this product.
Doubling capacity and increasing data integrity are still good use cases for RAID in the home.

The editors didn't like
256GB and 512GB offer different speeds
Slow Writes
Random write performance slower than expected
No 1TB model as of yet
Can run hot under heavy workloads
Pricey
Heat Buildup
Performance not really noticeable in most enthusiast workloads
No IOPs improvement
Increased CPU utilization
Increased performance of drive failure
Fell behind its predecessor and the SM951 in a few benchmarks
Price premium for early adopters
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.
Increasing performance through RAID 0 no longer has the same shine it once had. NVMe SSDs are fast enough to satisfy the most demanding user needs. We've hit a point where RAID 0 run off of a chipset gives diminishing returns.
Capacity tops out at 512GB (for now)
Intel SSD 750 Series still faster on some tests
Shorter warranty than on Samsung's SSD 850 Pro
Requires Samsung driver for full write performance
No Power Loss Protection
Wasn't Fastest Across The Board
Mediocre performance in standard desktop activities
Double the cost per GB of fast SATA drives
Nothing worth mentioning.
NVMe is not widely available… yet.
Still very expensive
Requires M.2 slot (and NVMe BIOS for booting)
Needs Z170 to shine
Dubble Bubble
Requires M.2 slot (and NVMe BIOS for booting
Expect to pay a premium for the extreme performance. Compatibility could be an issue as it requires an M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 interface.

Abstract: Vi innrømmer det. Det er langt på overtid for tester av SSD-er her hos oss – faktisk er det nærmere to år siden vi sist så på en «vanlig» minnedisk.Men når sant skal sies har det heller ikke skjedd så veldig mye interessant på den fronten. Diskene i den v...
Abstract: Småt er godt, og det bliver ikke meget mindre end dette diminutive Samsung-drev. Med dets stakkede V-NAND og NVMe-contoller narrer det iagttageren. Dette var Samsungs første forbruger-fokuserede NVMe-bud.Det er ikke nyt, men det er stadig hurtigt. Dog ikk...
Samsung 950 Pro er cutting edge SSD teknologi. Med brugen af M.2 soklen og PCIe X4 sammen med NVMe driveren kan Samsung få deres nyudviklede 3D V-Nand til at ramme skyhøje læsehastigheder op mod 2500 MB/s. Skrivehastigheden ligger på linje med Samsungs...

Abstract: Imponerende enterprise-lignende ydelse kombineret med forbrugerpriser. Det kunne være salgspitchen for Samsung med deres nye Samsung 950 Pro SSD, som netop er offentliggjort ved Samsung's SSD Summit i deres sydkoreanske hovedkvarter. Trods M.2 (sokkel 22...

Wysoki zapis i odczyt sekwencyjny, Bardzo dobre wyniki próbek 4K i 4K64T, Bardzo szybko kopiuje małe i srednie pliki, Brak jakiegokolwiek okablowania, Pięcioletnia gwarancja producenta
obarczona jednak limitem 300 TBW, Spadek wydajności po zapełnieniu TurboWrite, Bardzo wysokie temperatury pod obciążeniem, Przy zapełnieniu w 80% zapis zwalnia, Spadek wydajności po zapełnieniu TurboW
Część z naszych Czytelników z pewnością już po ujrzeniu tytułu niniejszej publikacji prawidłowo wytypowała zwycięzcę testu nośników SSD NVMe o pojemności 256 GB – 1 TB. Nie będzie dla nich zaskoczeniem, że najwydajniejszym modelem okazał się Samsung 960 P...

Abstract: Macierz RAID 0 polega na połączeniu dwóch fizycznych nośników w jeden logiczny, co skutkuje uzyskaniem wspólnej przestrzeni oraz zwiększeniem ogólnej wydajności podsystemu dyskowego. Wprawdzie operacje na małych plikach przyspieszają symbolicznie, aczkolw...

Samsung 950 PRO (sprawdź najniższą cenę) to obecnie zdecydowany lider wydajności wśród konstrukcji typu M.2, biorąc pod uwagę jego prawie 5-krotnie większą wydajność przy odczycie sekwencyjnym i cenie za gigabajt, która nie jest zbyt wygórowana. Można rz...

bardzo dobry stosunek ceny do wydajności, odczyt / zapis na poziomie 2500 / 1500 MB/s, interfejs M.2 (PCI Express 3.0 x4), protokół NVMe 1.1, pamięci 3D VNAND

Świetne wyniki w testach rzeczywistych, Przoduje w testach wielozadaniowości, Pomimo ceny jest jednym z tańszych w tej klasie,
Zapis próbki 4K64T trochę poniżej oczekiwań, 5 lat gwarancji na tle 10 lat w serii 850 Pro,
Samsung SSD 950 Pro 512 GB pomimo lepszych parametrów, wypada w testach rzeczywistych bardzo podobnie do mniejszego 256 GB brata bezsprzecznie znakomicie, ale jednocześnie pozostawia delikatny niedosyt. Chciałoby się zobaczyć jeszcze krótsze słupki na wy...
