  • Samsung Pro 950

    Well am always looking for something faster.

    This is a limited review time as just got it on Friday idea.

    Moving from 2-840 pro's (256's) in raid 0.

    Initially, these things are pretty fast, expensive though $455 plus the gov's cut for a 512.
    Don't have any game installed as of yet but windows notice things though, music playback for example even though playing from other drives is instant.

    Now were not talking a crazy change in speed but some things so far ya do notice.

    Their quoted speeds on the box are from Atto, IOmeter running for awhile with say 8-10 cloned workers says way less though.

    There may be some fixes or tweaks, haven't really looked into optimizing things yet.

    Now my existing raid0 had a real hard time trying to keep it even though followed gigabytes charts as to where things are hooked up on the controllers as to which slot your using. My board will handle 2 of these in raid0 though not sure is worth it money wise, knowing me may try it still.

    One of these as your os and whatever else you can fit is indefinably the way to go and a storage drive of your choosing.

    Canada computers has the best price for these by allot.

    Have you noticed it running hot and speed throttling?

      I got to get my two 950's installed, just don't feel like doing a completely new install these days.
      However the machine I did the Win7 to Win10 upgrade on needs a nice clean Win10 install.

              The theoretical max bandwidth of the DMI 3.0 link on Z170 is 3.93 GB/s, benchmarking has shown that 512GB 950's in RAID 0 will top out around 3.5 GB/s read and 3.0 GB/s write, testing was done on a SOC Force board using RAID 0 of 2 and 3 drives. Basically two will saturate the bus before hitting full performance, although you will still get some improvement in "snappiness". I was planning to do RAID 0 on my SOC Force but won't bother having seen the benchmarks.

                  PCPer has quickly become my goto for actual tech news.

                    Took the plunge today and did a clean install on main rig using windows 10 pro 64bit latest build(1511)
                    After 12 hours of installing updating and testing, it's running very snappy I must say.
