As expected, the Samsung 960 EVO 1Tb NVMe SSD puts in an unparalleled performance with 3GB/s reads and 1.8GB/s writes (to the pSLC cache, and then 1GB/s thereafter). It's a snappy performer, and even though it uses a bit of power, heat proved not to be an...

PCI-Express SSDs are still quite expensive, but they also perform significantly better than SATA600 SSDs. A few years ago the additional price you paid for a high-end SSD barely gave you better performance due to the SATA600-bottleneck, but now the differ...
Rated for 200TB, Comes with data migration tools, Builtin AES256 encryption
Not the cheapest drive
For most people, the 960 Evo is all the SSD you need. Performance is only a half-step behind its premium rivals, and the price is much easier to stomach...

Abstract: Looking for the fastest NVMe SSD you can get? Samsung thinks it's their 960 PRO drive – with the better value for money drive the 960 EVO coming in close second. I take a look at the 1TB 960 Pro and the 250GB 960 EVO M.2 SSDs here!960 PRO: prourls.co/4HsG...

The Samsung 960 Evo M.2 provides ridiculously fast sequential read/write speeds, but is a little slower than the 960 Pro. However, it still offers extreme performance over a regular SATA III SSD and is more affordable than its Pro counterpart - making the...
