Pros: - Benchmarking this drive it can read well over 3000 MBps, much faster than my Samsung 850 Pro. Write speeds are over 2000 as well. - Drive feels snappy launching and closing programs and boots into Windows in 15 seconds. - It's obviously quiet with no vibrations you get from using standard or hybrid hard drives. Cons: - While yes this drive performs well in benchmarks, in practice it's no better than my Samsung 850 Pro. Boot up on this drive was maybe half a second faster than my 850 drive as they boot in 15 seconds. - Noticed no difference in launching programs or loading games when compared to my 850 Pro drive. - Don't get me wrong, it's a good drive but if you already own Samsung 850-960 Pro series you probably won't notice a difference in real world performance. Summary : - Great drive if you're coming from standard or hybrid hard drives. - Definitely better than cheap SSD drives from Sandisk, and Crucial. - In terms of raw numbers this drive is a top 5 performer as it can take advantage of PCI-E 4X additional bandwidth. - Most people may not notice a difference between the 970 Pro, and Samsung older 850 Pro in real world applications. - I would recommend this drive if you're coming from a Crucial MX200, hybrid or stand hard drive. If you already have fast storage the benchmark numbers are not going to translate to a product six times faster than top end SSDs.
