Designed to raise your performance expectations

The Samsung SSD 960 EVO offers storage for smart consumers who want an experience beyond what the Samsung SATA interface can provide. An enhanced bandwidth, provided by the NVMe interface, combined with the new Polaris controller, helps to facilitate sequential R/W speeds up to 3,200/1,900 MB/s and random R/W speeds up to 380/360K IOPS, respectively. Plus, the new Intelligent TurboWrite technology is designed to accelerate write speeds even further*.
*Sequential performance measurements based on CrystalDiskMark 5.0.2/IOmeter 1.1.0 and random performance measurements based on IOmeter 1.1.0.Performance may vary based on the SSD`s firmware version,system hardware and configuration.Test system configuration: Intel® Core i7-6700K CPU@4.0 GHz,DDR4 1700MHz 16GB,OS-Window 10 Pro x64,Chipset-ASROCK Z170 EXTREME 7.
Sequential write performance measurements based on Intelligent TurboWrite technology.The sequential write performances after Intelligent TurboWrite region are 300 MB/s(250GB),600 MB/s(500GB) and 1200 MB/s(1TB). Sequential read up to 3,300 MB/s,Sequential write up to 1,900 MB/s, nvme.

I upgraded from the 950 Pro NVMe M.2 256GB to the 960 EVO NVMe M.2 500GB so I could have room to dual-boot Windows 7 and Windows 10. Not fully ready to make the switch to Windows 10. Even though I know I'm going to have to at some point. So I thought I dual-boot would be a good way to get acquainted with Windows 10. Decided to go with 960 EVO NVMe M.2 500GB because I've never had a problem with the Samsung product. Superior technology at slightly under the average price per gigabyte. I've read some bad reviews about this product but I'm hoping that there just user error. Only time will tell but for now I'm completely satisfied. Blazing speeds and superquick boots.

I use this for my OS and system applications, and I have never seen read write speeds at this level. It's astounding. I took one star off of design because while I have not had an issue with it, Thermal Throttling in high end desktops with heat is a very real risk with the M.2 drives. I really wish Samsung had provided some form of heat sink, or other cooling solution, luckily many of the new Motherboards coming out, are providing heat shield/sinks for M.2 drives. Oh i forgot to mention this thing is tiny. like smaller than laptop RAM tiny. If you are a performance junkie, or just need a new SSD. This is the way to go.

I got a shiny new Supermicro 5018D-FN4T to put this drive into, as a virtualization server. If it worked, it was going to run like a greased pig at the state fair. Unfortunately, the Supermicro BIOS didn't recognize it so I couldn't install onto it. And Centos 7.3 didn't recognize it either, despite being a Linux 3.10.0 kernel (and NVMe drivers being baked into Linux since 3.3). Oddly, when I booted Fedora 25 (Linux 4.8) it saw the drive, which I was able to partition, format, copy files to, etc. So I ended up having to exchange it for a slightly slower, slightly more expensive T*a product instead.

I have this for almost nearly 3 months now. Blazing and unprecedented performance on the previous laptop that I'm using which is Lenovo T460s. Afterwards new laptop come (Lenovo T470p) which is 3 days ago and I decided to use the same NVme (Samsung evo 960 m.2 1tb) after clean installation of OS Windows 10 Pro and downloaded the recent driver from microsoft and lenovo website as well as samsung recent firwmware. After completely switch-off the device then I turn-on again I was surprise the same day that it stuck on Lenovo logo (Please see screenshot attached) and it didn't load the OS at all. When I forcefully rebooted it goes to the normal state then OS loaded properly. Issue is keeps on happening everynow and then, a bit alarming I believe.

It is truly a nice surprise to have a product actually perform better than advertised. 3,257 MB sequential read right out of the box. I haven't even updated drivers or enabled rapid mode yet. Hopefully the total lifetime writes will live up to what is promised as well, but I couldn't be happier for now. While expensive, this drive is priced fairly for the performance boost it brings and worth every penny if R/W speed is what you need. I loaded a clean install of Windows 10 - Creator's Update (Build 15063.138) in under 5 minutes!

An NVME SSD is very different from a normal SATA SSD. It's 3 times faster and with a very small footprint. I recommend you buy the retail version of the Samsung SSD so you will get the 3 year warranty and the Samsung Magician software. The OEM version doesn't have a software and the warranty is only one year. The software is important because it will help you upgrade the firmware. This is my second Samsung NVME SSD and I highly recommend them. The price difference from other brands is less than $10.

I recently scraped my FX system, and built a Ryzen system. I opted for this drive after researching many NVME offerings. I am biased towards Samsung a bit, as I have used so many of their products, and they have been affordable, and reliable. The load times for games and applications is insane. I have used SSD's for several years, but I'm still blown away with how well this drive performs. I can't recommend this enough.

I built a new system about 3 weeks ago and installed this drive, wow what a difference between this SSD and a HDD drive. I will be installing more in other systems. My only recommendation would be for Samsung to provide handout that discusses the unique requirements/tools associated with SSD's. This is my first SSD so I had to spend quite a bit of time searching the net for details on Trim, Over Allocate, etc.

As the title says, this drive is fast and it's cheap too when you look at the amount of performance you are receiving. I switched from this from EVO 740, and the difference is pretty significant when you compare the drives speeds on write and read along with the m.2 interface. If you are on the fence, definitely get this drive. Make sure that you motherboard supports m.2 PCI x4!

I have had this drive for about two weeks now and I really love it. My Windows 10 boot time went from over 20 seconds to about 5 seconds not mention how much faster my apps run. If you want to boost your PC's performance this is the way to go. The only reason I did not give 5 stars to value is because all SSD drives are pricey but hopefully they will come down in price over time.

I only use Samsung SSD products so im not surprised of the performance at all. What I am surprised about is the amount of time it takes from the push of the power button to the window screen. Less than 10 secs as opposed to close to 20. Games are more responsive also. All in all im loving this new M.2 drive. Will be getting a 1 tb drive soon..Thx Samsung..

I bought this for my new notebook that already came with a SSD drive. I wanted something faster and more space. This SSD drive is hands down super fast and I've enjoyed it. It's a little pricey. It's $80 or so more than a 500GB version of the Evo 840 but well worth it for the speed increase and something that is a few years newer. I would buy this again.

Failed after 2 weeks of installing and less that 10 times use. You might think I probably didn't have sensitive data on it since I only had it for a short time, however I had some of my 3D designs and projects worth more than 100 hours of work on it. Now I have to go through the return and replacement process for another 3 weeks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product when I built my new gaming PC over 4 years ago. It is still working just as well now as the day I bought it.

First and foremost, this drive is fast with near-advertised speeds (see story below for more details). The response time and consistency has been exceptional, and my cold boot time on Windows 10 after enabling several MSI boot optimizations is now 2 seconds flat. Still amazes me several weeks later. Truthfully, I went through many hoops to get this SSD working with my motherboard (MSI Z97-GD65). However, this was due to my motherboard not having an m.2 port (it has mSata which is significantly different) and was my fault for not verifying this before my purchase. MSI was very gracious however, as about a year or so prior they released an update to their BIOS which added support for m.2 drives - perfect! I ordered an m.2 -> PCI-E x4 adapter, updated the BIOS using a spare USB drive, and installed my new hardware. Initially, the drive was successfully detected by Windows 10 (I had to right-click on the start menu and then initialize the drive via Disk Management). My goal however was to migrate Windows over to this SSD to get off my 1TB HDD RAID setup. I went to a free faithful tool of mine - Clonezilla. After installing the latest stable to a USB stick and booting off the stick, I eventually reached an unrecognized error during the process. Disappointed but not discouraged, I read on a forum post that the dev builds of Clonezilla were on a newer version of Linux with better drive technology support. So I gave it a shot and they were right! Migration took about an hour for 500GBs of written data, and I've been a happy camper since. The m.2 adapter causes a slight loss in performance yielding 85% of advertised read (~2700MB/s), yet still 100% of advertised write (~1800MB/s). I bought this drive for the performance, endurance and future-proofing. I expect this SSD to remain my main drive after building a new desktop a few years down the road. The performance is insane, taking my rapid loads from a dedicated SATA3 SSD for games to an entirely new level. For anyone still reading, my recommendations are to ensure your computer is compatible with m.2 (at PCI-E x4 speeds), that you are okay with your main GPU lane dropping to PCI-E x8 (MAYBE dropped 1-2 fps for me with my GTX 1080 and dual monitors), and that there's plenty of ventilation around the SSD to ensure that top speeds are consistent during huge data transfers.
