I can't believe this. I went with this one because of some concerns about the stability of the PCI 3.0 version and I have no regrets. Coupled with an i7 6700k @ 4.6 GHz my load times and data transfer rates are lightning fast. I can't wait to see how it changes DCS A-10C once I can hook up my Radeon R9 290 (cable's too short so waiting on a replacement).
Cons: Instructions on installing were a bit 'oblique', which is how it describes the way to insert the card. I read that as a vertical angle and they meant a horizontal angle. This caused me to remove the anchor screw, which, for me, was a pain to get back in (it's very small and almost impossible to start with your fingers). Do yourself a favor and think 'flat' as you swing the card into place under the *loosened* screw from the side.
That'll save you a lot of distress. Other Thoughts: As others have stated, make sure to double-check with your motherboard manufacturer's specs re: M.2s that fit the board. Baca komik naruto bahasa indonesia. I had only two Samsungs to choose from for my Gigabyte Z170XP. These specs can be hard to find so be diligent in your search. Pros: -Great for a OS Boot Drive. -Great for a Storage Drive -Equivalent to 2-3 SATA SSDs in RAID0.
-It is blazing fast and will leave you in awe. These things can get very hot if they are used to move large amounts of data over time. I purchased some high quality thermal pads and some heat sinks to take care of any heat issues as that will greatly improve its longevity as well. Buyers need to be aware that this is an OEM product as the manufacturer, Samsung in this case does not and will not be in charge of any RMA's. This is up to the buyer to make sure they include the warranty Newegg sells as I did.
I purchased a plan to insure my very premium priced product. -Price but that is a given since I'm an early adopters to M.2 on the desktop platform but was caught by surprise when I had to fork over more cash just to strap a warranty to this product. I was quite disappointed but after a few benchmarks those feeling went away. Other Thoughts: For the gamers out there, this drive will decrease your load time substantially. It will make file transfer great as well. Only problem is if you're moving anything from a SATA SSD to a PCI-E SSD, well unfortunately you will be capped to SATA's transfer rates.
You're able to see this thing shine when benchmarking, installing and transferring between two PCI-E SSDs. Again, I will say you won't be disappointed but make sure your MB supports form factor M.2, size 8022 before purchasing. Pros: Very fast drive. I bought this not knowing when to expect it's successor, the SM951. I have since purchased that as well and am running both the XP941 and SM951 in my asrock z97 extreme6/ac motherboard. The XP941 is very capable, fast, bootable on this motherboard.
I recommend moving to the SM951 if your system will support it. Asrock supported it after a bios update to v1.60. I got about 1100MB/s read/write sequential on this drive and about 1700MB/s on the SM951 on same system (same slot apples/apples). Either drive will destroy anything you can plug into a SATA 6gbps interface due to bus limitations. I also have a Samsung evo850 on this system for media storage and it is about 60% the speed of the XP941 and about 35% as fast as the SM951. Cons: none, get the SM951 if your system will support, it is about 30% faster.
Other Thoughts: Complete system spec: asrock z97 extreme6/ac, evga supernova p2 1000w power supply, 32gb g.skill 2400mhz DDR3 ram (4x8gb), evga 780ti, i7-4790k OC to 4.5ghz, corsair h110 cpu cooler, samsung sm951 512gb m.2 boot drive, samsung xp941 512gb m.2 app/swap drive, samsung evo 850 1tb sata 6gpbs media drive, corsair carbide air 540 case. Pros: Faster than my old 4 drive RAID-5 setup. Cons: Don't get me wrong, it's a lot faster than my old 4 drive RAID-5 setup, but it's not 'BLAZING FAST', at least in my computer. Not worth the money in my opinion. I would have given it 4 eggs, but the price vs. Performance isn't there.
