Easy to install and noticeable quick in use, this is a good step up from a standard SSD.

During today's report the Samsung 960 EVO delivered some great results. It reached its rated read and write speeds of up to 3.2GB/s read and 1.9GB/s write. 4K QD1 read and write speeds were very good averaging about 50MB/s for read and 250MB/s for write, which is close to the Pro's 63MB/s and nearly...

When initially announced the NVMe drives a few months back, we were eager to get our hands on them for some in-house testing. Their specifications, which included transfer speeds in excess of 3.2GB/s, were among the fastest we'd seen to date for consumer-class M.2-based Solid State Drive.

KitGuru says: It will be interesting to see if the mainstream market is ready to embrace an NVMe M.2 drive, even if it does pack a sizeable performance punch.

Performance; Intelligent TurboWrite

Pricey; Only a three-year warranty

This miniscule SSD comes in an M.2 form factor and uses NMVe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) technology - but don't let its size fool you, the Samsung 960 Evo packs a serious sequential read/write punch. Read on to see how the 960 Evo compares to SATA III-based SSDs and its brother, the 960 Pro.

Samsung's 960 EVO delivers the best price to performance ratio we've seen to date, making it a must have piece of hardware.

I just received and installed yesterday on my 2016 ThinkPad X1 carbon, I also have installed the Samsung SSD driver. I felt it being very fast and I ran CrystalDiskMark, here is the result. It will take a long time to tell how reliable this drive is, but for now it is fast as advertised.

Sound piece of kit Things to know - The advertised transfer rate is not constant for all storage sizes. eg smaller storage lower transfer rate, big storage high transfer rate. The cost of installing a pcie card and this device was the same as a ssd but honestly i don't really see the difference...

Extreamly pleased with the drives performance. Fast boots and fast transfers. Nothing slows it down. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT HARDWARE FOR THIS DRIVE. NOT ALL COMPUTERS CAN USE THIS. DO YOUR RESEARCH.

I recently embarked on building my first PC from the ground up, having previous been using hand me down laptops from yesteryear. I decided to go with an ITX Liquid Cooled Build with a Ryzen 1600. Upon completing the build, I was shocked to find the thermal output from the Ryzen CPU was quite high.
