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.

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.
Samsung SSD 950 Pro to bez wątpienia produkt dla najbardziej wymagających. Tych, którzy poszukują kandydata na swój pierwszy nośnik SSD, raczej nie zainteresuje, bo typowy użytkownik komputera nie potrzebuje chociażby odczytu na poziomie 2 GB/s. Może za t...
bardzo dobry stosunek ceny do wydajności, odczyt / zapis na poziomie 2200 / 900 MB/s, interfejs M.2 (PCI Express 3.0 x4), obsługa NVMe, 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, Dość niska deklarowana wytrzymałość (200 TB), 5 lat gwarancji na tle 10 lat w serii 850 Pro,
Premiera Samsunga SSD 950 Pro stanowi wyraźny sygnał, że dominacja interfejsu SATA w przypadku urządzeń skierowanych do entuzjastów i profesjonalistów, powoli lecz nieodwracalnie dobiega końca. Użytkownicy oczekujący bezkompromisowej wydajności, zwłaszcza...
SSD disky Samsung SM951 byly dlouhou dobu nejvýkonnějším řešením do slotu M.2 na světě. Žádný jiný produkt se jim ani zdaleka nepřiblížil, ani cena nebyla nijak extrémní. Problém byl ve faktu, že jde o OEM disky a z toho plyne řada potenciálních potíží. Z...
