Pros: - Best write speed I have seen from a single SSD to date (over 2000MB/s) - Large 1 TB capacity - Extremely durable and reliable drive - Read speed on par with 950 Pro 256 GB (over 2000MB/s)
Cons: - Read speed slightly slower than 960 Pro 512GB version

Blazing Fast NVME Drive

I've installed Windows 10 Professional on this 960 Pro NVMe drive as a boot drive, and it is blazing fast. I have not encountered reports of throttling due to heat, in part because I am using this 1 TB drive as a boot drive and have offloaded the majority of file operations to secondary and tertiary drives. As far as installation and setup, this small stick couldn't be easier to slide into an M.2 slot and tighten down.
Cons: price per gb

Great product, exceeding expectations.

I got two of these and set them up in Raid-0 in a new build. I have to say it was easier than I expected and they worked flawlessly together. Have been using for about 6 months now and have been very happy. Love the M2 design both for low-profile and ridiculous levels of speed.

960 Pro 512

Pre-Ordered. Got mine 11-17. The package looks nice. Installed on Win 10 64 pro. Asus x99 Strix. Samsung magician 4.7 reads 3550mb , 2125mb. The back of the drive has a copper sticker. I was able to peel off the the sticker revealing the copper strip, not sure if it'll help cooling much. The other thing I did was peel off the top sticker and affix ramsinks to the controller and and the memory. I'd likely never hit a thermal wall but I used this setup on my 950 pro and liked it. This may void the warranty?
Some may say this is expensive or the value isn't good. To me I am getting premium performance so I expect to pay premium price. Although this was about 20 dollars cheaper then the 950 pro when I bought thathis drive
The negatives of this, pre-order is my own fault. No NVME 2.0 as shown in desription. Also no new Samsung magician yet. No mounting screw, not a huge deal but those things are so small losing them is easy, I'd love to have an extra one. Also I pre-ordered before they mentioned watch_dogs 2. And as of yet I haven't gotten a code for the game, I would hope they will take care of customers in this situation but who knows. I also pre-orderd a 960Evo for my game storage. I fid that before the offer as well
Pros: fast
Cons: nvme 2.0 not released at this time, new samsung magician 5.0 not released at this time
I would recommend this to a friend!
