The SSD 960 EVO is a wildly fast M.2 drive that's actually semi-affordable. It's an excellent option for almost any user with a PC that supports PCI Express drives, the M.2 form factor, and the NVMe protocol. Read...

The Samsung 960 EVO 1TB NVMe SSD is an attractive alternative in a category dominated by expensive products that often have more bark than bite. Don't expect any more high-capacity value-focused NVMe products anytime soon. The 960 EVO is the best you will get in 2016 and early 2017.

The 512GB 960 Evo would make for great primary drive alongside a hard disk. My advice? Save up for a 1TB Samsung 960 Evo, which will set you back around $470/£412, and chuck your existing SSD and hard disk out the window – after transferring your data of course. The new PC storage standard is here, and it doesn’t need cables either.

The new 960 EVO and PRO series are one of the fastest SSD series available for hugely I/O intensive workloads, consumer grade that is.

The Samsung SSD 960 EVO 1TB and 250GB drives are wicked fast, affordable and show that traditional hard drives and SATA III based SSDs are no longer viable options for high-end computing.

Samsung has finally brought their TurboWrite technology to an NVMe M.2 SSD, and it absolutely did not disappoint! Performance of the tested 250GB and 1TB samples came close to the 960 PRO and frequently outpaced even the 950 PRO. The new TurboWrite caches are even larger on these new models, ranging from 13GB to 42GB (!) for the 1TB model, keeping write speeds high and giving the 960 EVOs an edge in our simultaneous mixed workload testing - even beating the 960 PRO in that particular metric! Coupling outstanding performance with competitive pricing makes the 960 EVO a tough act to follow!

Sure, the 960 Pro offers you a few more MB/s bandwidth and higher IOPS and more consistent write performance over the 960 EVO, but with the extremely competitive pricing, we would recommend the EVO over the Pro more often than not. Unless higher...
