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

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

If so could you post it?
