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

This drive was AMAZING! Ive run SSDs for years and never really saw much in performance. that being said: I Always use Samsung PRO SSDs and this was my first EVO and I can tell you that the whitebox 2012r2 server that is using this drive boots up (hyper V installed so longer boot than normal) in under 5 seconds! prior to this change, this boot took about a minute! I HIGHLY recommend this drive and the m.2 interface no matter what!

Its very nice to have actualy, copying speed is very fast and startup as well, my games never lag anymore :)

shiz is tiny, about as long as my middle finger and 1 and a half times as wide. I have an AsRock z-77 EXTREEEEME4-M motherboard so apparently I needed a PCIe adapter to put it on. I got the adapter and this thing easily snapped into place on the adapter, while I managed to fumble it steadily into place with the screw. Thing easily then snaps into a free PCIe 3.0 slot. First problem with this thing is it apparently upset my BIOS, which attempted to boot from one of my other hard drives (I have 2 HDDs and an SSD for boot), so I had to manually fix it to boot from the original SSD I had. other than that it has had no problems thus far. I am not using this as a boot drive but for storage to run a game so thus far it is operating amazingly so. My boot SSD is a Samsung 840 evo and does on average 511 mb/s read speed. This one does over 3000 mb/s read speed.

One of the fastest dives I’ve ever used. It’s affordable. Loving my read and writes speeds. 10 out of 10.

Is a very fast SSD, easy setup in my notebook HP Omen, its no clear that you could use Data migration software from Samsung, but searching in google, I found it, now running with out problems.

Very Fast . Easy to Setup Im using Gigabyte Z270x Gaming 7 Motherboard,it has two M.2 slots . I used the one near to the CPU and my Nvme M.2 ssd was detected right away . From the BIOS changed it to UEFI mode and disabled all HDD so it directly booted from the USB in which i had windows 10 pro .Hardly took 15mins till i was ready to use . Amazing product initial Boot time was 5-6secs after fresh windows .It increased like 8 to 10 secs now after installing all the drivers but thats no big issue . Getting 2500mb/s Sequintial read and 1550mb/s write . Loved this product .I have another M.2 slot and will definitely buy with bigger capacity .This is mainly for my OS and may be for some games i regularly play.Its a must have and i would highly recommend it . Just one issue i faced it was when i installed the Samsung Magician software i also downloaded and installed the NVME drivers for Samsung EVO though they were not required .Sometimes while BOOT my Motherboard LED gives D7 code error for 2 secs with long beep then everything goes normal.It has something to do with the Consoles not connected but i didnt got it completely

When you need to read / write like a boss, get this.

I like that the interface is wireless and the footprint is miniscule. Getting good read/write performance 3261/1841 respectively. In real world performance, just a little faster than my other SSDs though. I realize that it is better configured for W10 but on W7, its not as easy to install. I did my homework so I was expecting this. What I didnt expect is that Samsung is too proprietary. The Samsung migration utility detected my Crucial SSD so I could clone that system drive to the EVO but once there, the utility only sees the EVO. I would like to clone my system drive to another SSD so I will have instant backup capability but according to Samsung, I can only do this to another Samsung SSD or HDD. Just another ploy to make you buy another product from them. I already have what I need in storage so I dont need to make that purchase but am forced to do so if I want to clone for backup. Cheap shot. I have another cloning utility but that doesnt see the EVO, it only sees my other drives. Plan accordingly!

Nice improvement over my 950 Pro for about half the cost. I am using this drive as my boot (OS) drive and my 950 Pro for storage. My boot time on Windows 10 Creator Update is down to 10 - 11 secs and the system is so fluid and instantaneous. Needless to say, transferring large files between the boot drive and the storage drive happens in a blink. I will never go back to a SATA SSD. My current system is aging (Intel Core I5 4690S) but, with the performance maximization of these NVME SSDs, I cant imagine a new system performing noticeably better. I will hold on to this beast for the long term.

Just ordered mine. This drive will be predominantly Final Fantasy 15 windows Edition 4K and Dragon Ball fighter z. Final Fantasy 15 is going to be 188GB and Dragon Ball fighter z just over 4GB. Ill update this review when I receive it if its bad but I already know from previous use that these are great. ☆EDIT☆This drive is very fast. All of my games load twice as fast. No more waiting.☆EDIT☆
