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.

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.

For the price this thing is pretty amazing. I do gaming in my free time, but also a good bit of programming. This improved the speed of launching all applications. It also helped boost the speed of extracting files from a compressed format which is pretty tedious when you deal with massive file...

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.

Easy installation and setup. Very fast and noticeably faster than a SATA SSD. Quick boot times and program startups.

Noticeably faster than a SATA SSD Easy installation

$/GB is still higher than a regular SSD

First and foremost, this drive is fast with near-advertised speeds (see story below for more details). The response time and consistency has been exceptional, and my cold boot time on Windows 10 after enabling several MSI boot optimizations is now 2 seconds flat. Still amazes me several weeks later.

Lightweight; fast; portable

I certainly am getting my NVMe freak'on every time a test a newer unit. That said, in relative performance numbers wether you choose a EVO or PRO honestly you'll not notice. This obviously is the big conundrum with the fastest NVMe based storage units anno 2016 as slowly but steadily, storage simply...

Best upgrade for money spent

I'm using 2 of this memories on my Synology DS918+ and worked beautifully... I would recommend it! Read more

The 960 Evo doesn't have the bells and whistles of Samsung's flagship 960 Pro, but it still has the pace to compete with the best drives around. If you're after stunning speed, but without putting a huge dent in your bank account, the 960 Evo is a supremely well-balanced alternative to the 960 Pro...

Solid performance throughout; Good small-file write speeds; Far more affordable than 960 Pro

Shorter warranty period than high-end Pro
