Samsung 950 PRO M.2 SSD review

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.

would be great if you had actual real world performance comparisons of actual OS load times, game load times and application load times compared between various SSDs. as it stands now this arbitrary MB/s number (referring to page 9 of review) based on some simulated game/program load isn't very useful to end user (seems like it's more useful for company selling SSD because their product appears better, just like all those synthetic tests).
I've seen some other reviews where they compare load times in actual games, programs and OS and there is no meaningful difference between 950Pro and something like 850 EVO.
Agree, at least ffxiv-heavensward-bench if you are lazy. It does show load time seconds also.

Hilbert, it's not necessary to disable automatic defrag in modern Windows OS (at least in 8 and newer). It will not defrag SSD's. It will just run trim.

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