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

Incredibly fast. Noticeably faster in day to day operations from even my old first-generation SATA SSD.

I will be buying more of these little speed demons! Say good buy to loading screens. Bought this for my VR rig, was noticing a lot of r/w on the drives which were your typical metal HD. Went from waiting a couple minutes to load in to Fallout 4 VR to instant.. and I mean instant.. Results may very due to other system specs. For me though I will always be using these little guys. At least till something next gen comes out. ;-)

This is more than twice as fast as an Evo 850 Pro, and is a great price point since down the road the bigger ones will eventually come down. It doesnt come with a mounting screw, which is needed to secure it. The size is the same as a laptop screw, so if you get desperate and have a notebook with a spare donor screw available, it will be the right size to clamp it down. Jewlers tools helps here, unless you have a really tiny screwdriver. I put a few games and Windows on it, and set the temp and Firefox cache and swap drive on the old SSD just to conserve room on this one for the heavy lifting where its throughput really shines. The warranty is for 3 years or 100 terabytes written. Ive had an SSD for 8 months and backup and restore image files and use it for everything and it only has six terabytes written. That is a lot except if you run disk benchmarks on it you can easily blow a lot of that warranty away since they write a tremendous amount of data in each pass. Forget about ramdisks or cache software, those tax the CPU so make the best of it and really use this drive, if you play games it will really help, it just breezes through anything you can throw at it. Even 40 gigs of writes a day every day is three years, and even a power user isnt going to be downloading anywhere near that so realistically a 5 year life span is a good estimate.

Excellent performance. All as advertised. Excellent value for the money.

A bit pricier than an SSD but so much faster. Not worth it for the normal user but for power users and gamers the speed makes a huge difference.

Great drive. Very easy to install and my MSI Z170a Gaming M7 recognized it right off the bat. I had a SSD fail and decided to replace with this beauty. Read and write speeds are insane and boot up takes no time at all. I do a lot of Photoshop editing with very large files and this thing is a beast but of course my overclocked i7 6700K doesnt hurt either. Would highly recommend and I just wish I had enough $$ to go for the 1 TB version. Oh well, sending my boys games to a new Samsung SSD which isnt too shabby either. For my next build, will I even have a spinning HD?

I love tech. . Glad I made the switch in my new build. No more waiting and glitching!

Awesome product. Ive had this for about a month and a half now. Boots to Windows in under 4 seconds (I have MSI fast boot turned on). Games load really quick.

OMG OMG, super excited. installed in a snap. my pc went from a 15sec boot to 3 sec flat from power button to fully loaded... GET ONE NOW!

This drive is truly amazing. Slightly larger than a stick of gum. Installed this 960 evo in new computer build and installed Windows 10 from USB 3.0 drive in 8 mins! Definitely worth the wait and plenty big for OS and a few games. If your system is compatible you should definitely purchase this drive. You will not be disappointed.
