It's funny, HDD's even with their fancy advanced technologies ... PMR, Helium, SMR, HAMR or whatever they want to do next... never caught up with interface speed.
SATA3 (600MB/s) is still over 200% faster than the fastest harddrives.

With SSDs it only took a few years to saturate the SATA3 speed.
Now the same thing happens with NVMe... these new Sammys are basically hitting the limit of 4X PCI-e .

PCI-e 4.0 can't come soon enough !
(Or something else, beyond PCI-e...)

This worth it over the 960 pro m.2?

Or the difference that marginable that you wouldn’t notice the differences in a day to day world?

Prob not, especially if you're using ramcache too

Actually thats not true anymore.
New Seagate dual actuator drives can double in certain situations throughput of normal drives, which is currently around 240MB/s, giving it teoreticaly up to 480 MB/s.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn
Hey boss, did you get a newer NVMe driver for this review?

Version 3.0.
If so could you post it?
