960 PRO Nvme M.2 512GB SSD ()

PROS:� Unbelievably fast read AND write speeds� Noticeable difference in program startup times� Easy physical install� Samsung Magician and Data Migration software are worth using� 5 year warrantyCONS:� Very expensive� Full performance may be limited on some systems or require workarounds to achieve max performance� Heat and power may be an issue for laptop systemsI love the size and speed of my card. Windows boots up from a restart in just a few seconds, it's fantastic. HOWEVER, be sure that your motherboard isn't a dud at supporting NVMe. I bought a $200 board from Gigabyte, a gaming board, that occasionally decides that it doesn't detect any NVMe drives. I re-flash the board, and suddenly it recognizes the drive and boots up like usual. I've got 2 M.2 slots and it behaved the same way on both. It can't be the card if a re-flash solves the issue.Moral of the story: be sure you've got solid NVMe support before buying.Used as ZFS ZIL/ARC on home file server and as primary disk for workstation. That SSD rocks, except that even Pro series have not so good endurance (only 400TB lifetime writes). Good enough - all I/O intensive workload is at ramdisk.So, perfect for workstations with optimized I/O.Can't recomment it for enterprise servers.For high workloads there are relatively cheap SAS3 (12Gb/s) SSDs with 5 WPD (5 full rewrites per day) and 5 years warranty - that is 0.553655=4562 TB. And it's not a high-end SSD - high end SSDs have about 15 PB lifetime writes for half-TB drive (30+ times higher endurance and only 3 times more expensive than 960 Pro).

Cool one:)

It was alright for the price

These things are fast and we have no problems once we got them to work. Win 10 install was easy. Win 7 however did not want to see these at all. We had to contact Microsoft who gave us a software tool to get these to be recognized in Win 7. After that no problems.
