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)

  • Compared to 600p
  • Cost is still high (but these 960 EVO outperforms by a large margin)
  • Just average with small files

  • Substantial price premium over SATA SSDs
  • No included migration software
  • It's ain't cheap

  • Intel's 3D XPoint might be far faster

  • Improved speed from previous generation makes this the fastest consumer SSD on market, Available in capacities up to 2TB
  • Pricey, Has a shorter warranty than Samsung's other high-end drives
  • The Samsung SSD 960 Pro is an internal solid-state drive capable of blistering read speeds of up to 3,500MBps. Cheaper drives with similar specs will be on the way, so you may want to wait if price is an issue...

  • As expected Samsung's latest flagship M.2 NVMe SSD is fast, very fast. Performance wise it is a good step forward from the previous 950 Pro series, though most 950 owners won't feel the need to rush out an upgrade just yet as Samsung's last seasons M2 dri...

  • In the end I feel you'll never notice the difference in-between a 950 Pro or 960 Pro. However you could have workloads on your PC that require insanely fast reads or writes, and yes the 960 Pro series just shines light and bright alright. The numbers tha...

  • Best performing M.2 SSD Tested, Best performing SSD Tested, Highest available capacity in M.2 form factor
  • Cost (the upcoming 960 EVO should help with that, though)
  • What better way to roll out a new test suite than with a product that dominates across the whole darn thing! The 960 PRO astounded us in nearly every metric - even some brand new metrics that we just implemented! In order to publish on time and with good...

  • We got the Samsung SSD 960 PRO 2TB drive on Saturday, so we've had it less than 72 hours. In our short time with the drive we are certainly impressed. Samsung has reached a new level of performance for the M.2 PCIe form factor with this drive series as it...

  • Excellent Performance, High Endurance, 5 Year Warranty
  • Trailed At Lower Queue Depths, Commands A Price Premium
  • We should note that we used Samsung's NVMe driver for testing. With the stock Windows 10 driver, performance was still very good, but not quite at good in tests like PCMark and HD Tune. PCMark especially showed much better performance with the Samsung dri...

  • If you are constantly moving large files, have heavy workloads, or just want the best consumer SSD out there, the 960 Pro is the answer to your prayers. It has more than enough speed for almost anyone, it has some of the best endurance ratings we have see...

  • and buying adviceIf 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 seco...
