This is a great SSD, and boost PC performance to an incredible level. But if you plan to connect it with the PCI interface for maximun performance, check the compatibility of your BIOS with NVMe drives before purchasing. Mine was not fully compatible and I had to modify the BIOS to use it (as explained in win-raid post "How to get full NVMe support for all Systems with an AMI UEFI BIOS") After that I was able to make a clean install of Windows 10 (the Samsung data migration tool was not able to make a bootable disk in my PC)

These are fast and easy to use on modern systems. SMALL too! Great C: drive for a mini-ITX system. Plenty of room for Windows 10-64 and a handful of programs along with some documents. If you are going to store a lot of pictures or video or have A TON of software you'll need additional storage- cloud or maybe a regular HDD.

This is by far the best drive i have ever used, i had a couple of issues trying to boot from it since im using a pcie adapter for my m.2 drive; but my motherboard (ASUS M5A97R20) was at fault here; after i got that sorted out my boot time went from 45 seconds on a PNY 250 GB SSD to a very fast 20 seconds on this drive, and im sure im not using yet the full potential of what this drive can offer since i dont have pcie 3.0 or a cpu with extra pcie lanes to carry all that data; but all in all a great upgrade if you want blazing fast performance at a very reasonably cost.

Had to get an adapter to add an M.2 connection to PCI-E x4, because my motherboard didn't have one. Got that for only $20 (and there were less expensive options, but I read an outstanding review of the one I got) and now I have my biggest games installed on this SSD and they load in half the time!

Bought 3 of these - have installed 2 so far. The production folks of my ASUS MB are daft - they tighten the M2 mounting screw so hard it was a pain to get off. Once installed and you realize it doesn't at first show up in your drives list, its plain sailing. For the 2nd install I removed the SATA data cable from the other HD's to force the OS to copy to the M2 SSD.

Ok so I knew it will be quite fast, but I haven't guesses in a million years that this thing is that fast! I mean the ssd is already fast..but this is light years apart! I installed this in my asus maximus hero 8 alpha, was little tricky but after couple updates it was ready to roll! I didn't use the Samsung software, didn't seem to work for me.. I highly recommend one of these drives.

I don't bench test or anything like that. I bought this based on reviews and reputation for making a good product. I'm a novice and only know just enough to be dangerous. This was only my second build, the first one eight years ago. It came out great and boots really fast compared to what I had. Whether you choose a Samsung product or not, you must go with an SSD for your boot drive. For files and data, a good old HDD does just fine.

Incredible speed, endurance and reliability in the 960 evo. With all that comes a hefty price point, so knowing what you actually need it for makes it worth it or not worth it. As far as boot up time and large file transfers, I've seen an improvement over the 850 evo ssd. While other tasks, there really isn't a significant or noticeable improvement over a traditional ssd. I would say it's best used for your OS, so the 250gb 960 evo would be where value meets your performance needs.

This drive works great, it's super fast, small, and efficient. It's more than enough for windows, drivers, and basically everything besides games or other collections of massive files

not as fast as some say but still pretty good, 15 seconds boot time on pc with intel i7, 8gb ddr and gtx 970 gpu, i can not tell the difference though between a sata ssd and this.
