Hello fellas,
Just got the Samsung 950 Pro on the RVE and what can i say besides, GOD DAMN THIS IS FAST. First of all, i must say that the installation went VERY smoothly, for those of you concerned with compatibility, it was a hassle free experience. Note that i have the most recent bios version which is 17** and i have manually set the bottom pcie to m.2 (don't like leaving things to auto). I installed it, booted, bios detected it straight away. Now in windows, windows 7 pro, detected it too, no problems there. I just had to go to disk management and initialize the disk (like any other). Also NOTE that you MUST install samsung's nvme drivers (which i did) for performance. So here is the performance test that i have done using ATTO benchmark. I know it might not be the best tool to bench a SSD but it is the only tool i know. IF any of you would like me to bench the 950pro on another program, feel free to ask and point me which soft you would like me to use.
So for the comparison, i've used an old Crucial MX100 512gb vs Samsun 950 Pro. I'm only going to post the biggest numbers since it's easier and i'll also upload the picture so you guys can see for yourself how the drive performs vs a standard SATA3 ssd.
Crucial MX100 512gb ***MAX WRITE SPEED*** : 509,807 mb/sec
Crucial MX100 512gb ***MAX READ SPEED *** : 547 827 mb/sec
Samsung 950 Pro ***MAX WRITE SPEED*** : 1,556,147 mb/sec
Samsung 950 Pro ***MAX READ SPEED *** : 2,604,224 mb/sec
SOOOOOOooo, as you can see, Samsung just opened a can of WHOOP-ASS :D.
