Samsung 960 EVO Series - 250GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6E250BW)

When I noticed he had the slot for this on his motherboard. So I gave him a little upgrade. These drives have some serious speed to them, since it’s part of the PCIe bus they’re not limited to the 6gb SATA limitations. These can pass data up to 10GBs

This thing is an absolute beast, and only the size of a stick of gum. With regard to SSDs, there is simply no better quality, or speed than Samsung. A Samsung NVMe drive will make your head spin, if youve been using an old-style HDD, which most people have. Even moreover, even if youre already using an SSD, the upgrade to an M.2 SSD, is about 5 times faster, give or take. There may be others out there for a few bucks less, but if you pass this over, youre going to be missing out. Simply put, you can NOT buy a better drive.

Wow. It is fast. Had some issues finding Win7 drivers but finally found them on Samsungs website after googling for half a day.

amazing speed ! using it for about 1 year already without problems.

This is by far the best money spent. This damn thing is 8 times faster than my ssd. Thing loaded in faster than I can snap my fingers.

Shes fast. Boot time has decreased. Both Crystal Disk and Anvil Bench report run numbers consistent with Samsung claims. Install this drive via PCIE on Asus motherboards to have access to all slots. Extra cooling might be necessary depending on location of your M.2. I added an extra fan to maintain temps between 26 and 28 degrees C. Possibly too large for operating system drive. I paired this drive with the Samsung 860 EVO SSD (data drive). Both drives can take advantage of the same Samsung toolbox for optimization.

Its great. Simple install. Boot times and responsiveness of the system is tremendous.

Great

Extremely fast, I was getting a good benchmarks. Going from a Samsung SATA SSD with 500+ read/writes to an M.2 with 3K read/writes in the real world is not noticeable. When you load a program in 8 seconds, as opposed to 10 seconds it isnt worth the upgrade. The reason why Im giving it 3 stars is after a short period of time, the drive died. BIOS would not detect it, and would hang. I went back to my normal SATA SSD and asked for a refund.

Arrived on time, and works as advertised. Installed using Samsung software with no problems. Great product!
