The SSD 960 EVO is a wildly fast M.2 drive that's actually semi-affordable. It's an excellent option for almost any user with a PC that supports PCI Express drives, the M.2 form factor, and the NVMe protocol. Read More...

Abstract: As of this week the Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 SSDs have begun shipping for those interested in high-performance solid-state storage. For our benchmarking fun today I am looking at the Samsung 960 EVO 250GB NVM Express M.2 SSD (MZ-V6E25) with tests under Ub...
Given the fact that the Samsung 960 PRO destroyed every other consumer SSD on the market in every single performance metric, we had very high expectations for the Samsung 960 EVO and with testing out of the way, I can safely say that it has met and exceed...

The 960 EVOs put up great numbers across most of our test suite, so we have high expectations for their final standings. The 1TB drive especially threatens to shake up the top end of the overall performance chart. To compare each drive, we take the geome...

Unmatched price vs. performance ratio. Upcoming Magician software update promises new features.
A tad slower and less endurance than the 960 Pro series, but neither should matter to the average buyer.
The Samsung SSD 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 250GB and 1TB PCIe SSDs both have exceptional performance and show that you can get amazing performance without having to break the bank. The performance of the 960 EVO was greater than last years 950 PRO flagship SSD in m...

If the Samsung 960 Pro didn't exist and anybody other than Samsung released the 960 EVO, it would be a credible flagship product for today's SSD market. It is clearly faster than the Intel 750 everywhere that matters. It is on par with the OCZ RD400 on re...

Everyone has done something that they regretted as soon as they took the action. Samsung may feel that way about the 960 EVO 250GB because it took the low-capacity model down one step too far. Using lower density flash should have helped, but the fina...

Find The Samsung SSD 960 EVO @ Amazon.comAlthough the drives share many similarities, the Samsung SSD 960 EVO isn't quite the same beast as its big-brother, the 960 PRO. With that said, the 960 EVO is still an exceptionally fast family of Solid State Driv...

Sure, the 960 Pro offers you a few more MB/s bandwidth and higher IOPS and more consistent write performance over the 960 EVO, but with the extremely competitive pricing, we would recommend the EVO over the Pro more often than not. Unless higher endurance...
