The editors didn't like
Pricey
Has a shorter warranty than Samsung's other high-end drives
Cost (the upcoming 960 EVO should help with that
Though)
Loses some of the top-end steam compared to the Pro model
Compared to 600p
Cost is still high (but these 960 EVO outperforms by a large margin)
It's ain't cheap, the performance isn't perfect, Intel's 3D XPoint might be far faster,

Substantial price premium over SATA SSDs, No included migration software

Just average with small files, Pricey
and buying advice If your laptop or desktop supports the 960 Pro, then it's the consumer-grade NVMe SSD you want. Assuming the price is competitive, that is. If you find others at substantial savings, you'll be nearly as impressed. Copying 20GB in 11...

Having just had the Samsung 960 Pro through our offices with all its class-leading performance and barely believable benchmarks it would be easy to consider the Evo as a mediocre pudding after an amazing dinner. After all, we've seen what the best possibl...

With a street price at almost $1300, I don't see how to get the return on the investment. Traced back benchmarks show very little improvements, even when compared to SATA III devices. That has nothing to do with Samsung. At this time, Operating Systems an...

It remains to be a trivial thing to explain where the actual benefit of a 3GB/s SSD is to be found as honestly, for normal workloads you are not going to notice that difference. See, a regular (modern) SATA3 SSD will already load up stuff in a split seco...

Compared to 600p, cost is still high (but these 960 EVO outperforms by a large margin)
Samsung has finally brought their TurboWrite technology to an NVMe M.2 SSD, and it absolutely did not disappoint! Performance of the tested 250GB and 1TB samples came close to the 960 PRO and frequently outpaced even the 950 PRO. The new TurboWrite caches...

Stunning.The Samsung NVMe 960 Pro M.2 SSD is so insanely, mind-blowingly fast that we're in danger of running out of superlatives. We've very quickly gone from being stunned by some great regular SSDs, to being blown away by NVMe ones, to this behemoth.To...
