TRIM Support
Dynamic Thermal Guard
5 Years Warranty
The 950 Pro delivers class leading performance at a good price point
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.
Incredibly fast read and write performance
Competitively priced
Tiny M.2 form factor
5yr warranty

Good chassis airflow highly recommended
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.

Now that the prices of SSDs are starting to fall again, the competition is starting to take off again. Especially the new models from Crucial and Samsung bring some life back to the business, which was badly needed in this market. Last year there were few...

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...
According to our tests, the Samsung SM951 (NVMe) is the fastest SSD available. It is even faster than the 950 Pro, while it is a lot cheaper as well. Bear in mind that you miss out on official Samsung support in the form of warranty, Magician and firmware...

The NVMe protocol certainly delivered all it promised. The technology has reduced flash latency to the host system, and that has freed up access times as well as throughput ceilings. The 950 Pro has leveraged the technology so well that running two driv...
If you're looking for a a solutions which offers an extremely well performing storage subsystem, then the consumer segment has almost nothing to offer that's faster than a RAID0, which is based on two NVMe SSDs The two Samsung 950 Pro 256GB M2 drives we'v...

Starting with the build quality of the 950 Pro we have no issues. In fact we've every confidence that the 950 Pro will be a very durable drive. Our experience with Samsung drives of previous generations is that they are rock solid, in fact we have only kn...
The benchmark results are clear: the Samsung 950 Pro is much faster than the fastest M.2 consumer SSDs which we previously tested. The Hardware.Info Performance Scores of 175 points for the 256GB version and 198 points for the 512GB version are signific...

Through the combination of a high-bandwidth PCI-E 3.0 x4 interface and the NVMe protocol, the 950 Pro achieves excellent performance in all metrics. It is without doubt the best M.2 SSD there currently is, and the 512GB model is, in our opinion, the best...
