Samsung 950 PRO M.2 SSD review 5

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/17/2015 12:41 PM [ 20 comment(s) ]

In this review we test the new M.2 super fast Samsung 950 PRO Series M.2 SSDs. These new M.2 units use the nvm express (NVME) protocol and that means storage technology at hyper fast speeds while remaining competitive in pricing. Samsung will shock and awe you with these puppies.

Holy megabytes! That thing is fast! Great review also boss. :thumbup:

Btw a small fact. I actually bought a Samsung 951 NVME M.2 256GB, but afterwards cancelled it and replaced it with a 850 EVO 500GB M.2 for the same price.

I just couldn't justify not getting the 500GB over the 951 256GB even its 3-4x faster. I do wish I had gotten it tho.

Also my Sammy 850 EVO has something to say to that PCIE SSD. I know, I know. But hey, thats what the test says. lol! :P


Please disable your rapid cache and actually test the physical NAND of your SSD. You are displaying the results of your system RAM cache.

Why cant Samsung use a heat sink to cool the IO chip ? So that thermal throttling can be avoided even during intense loads.

/jk boss. I do have RAPID Mode enable. I just posted the screenie for fun. :P

Btw, I will for sure get one of these PCIE SSD in the future. :thumbup:


P.S: I found a AS SSD test I did when I got it.

I wish I had canceled the purchase of my Samsung 951 NVME M.2 256GB as well ... I bought it very very early when there was just a single review of it on the internet and that said nothing about installing windows 7 on it ... which btw , is not possible by any normal means.
I was forced to install windows 10 to use it ... I hate it(win 10) ... I despise it ... I wish to inflict viscious bodily harm to it T_T"

The performance is all there and its ridiculously fast ... but ... again ... windows 10 (tear falls down his cheek) ...

PS: I also hate Samsung for not having proper drivers of it or support in any if its software ... so what if its OEM ? ... if its readily and easily avaible to regular consumers they should have made the extra effort, otherwise made sure regular people could not buy it T_T" ... Samung has fallen badly in my eyes with this.

I can't believe they didn't ship a 1TB variant. I have a 840 500GB now -- and I definitely want the extra speed, but I also want at least 1TB. Meh
