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.
Btw, I will for sure get one of these PCIE SSD in the future.
P.S: I found a AS SSD test I did when I got it.
Please disable your rapid cache and actually test the physical NAND of your SSD. You are displaying the results of your system RAM cache.

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

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!
