I set this up using the Samsung Migration software. I first set up my new Machine build using Windows 7 and a regular 2.5" SSD. Once I got everything set up and running the way I wanted it, I installed the 950 Pro, and then installed the 950 Pro Windows drivers, that I obtained there on the Samsung support web page. Once the 950 Pro showed up in the OS, I then used the Samsung Migration software to copy over my Windows 7 installation from the "old" "C" Boot drive, (the 2.5" standard SSD) to the new Samsung 950 Pro SSD. The transfer went with out a hitch, and the new drive booted up with no issues. The Samsung 950 Pro also shows up in my Motherboard BIOS, (ASUS X99 Pro), as a drive to "boot" off of, but does not show up as an NVMe device.
Once I had the new Samsung 950 Pro successfully installed, then I downloaded the Samsung Magician software, which allows you to further monitor the performance of the Samsung 950 Pro SSD.
Overall, I am very happy with the performance of this very high speed SSD. As many have already mentioned, it is pretty unbelievable at how small it is, and the stick of gum analogy is no joke. I think a stick of gum is actually larger. And yes, it does run warm if you touch it while transferring a lot of data.
I have to add that for this set up, (ASUS X99 Pro Motherboard, Windows 7 64 bit Pro), that the boot up times take longer than with just a regular SSD, and I have to believe that this is a part of Windows 7 having to load the NVMe drivers. I think the drivers may be native inside of Windows 10, so your own results may be different.
I can echo the sentiments of many on here, who have rightly reflected that for day to day home use, you would be hard pressed to notice a significant difference in how your computer operates. Yes, I have a game or two that does load up a bit faster, and my backups (run to a regular SSD now), do happen much faster. I have some photo editing that I have yet to tackle, and am waiting to see how it performs on this, loading up some large RAW files. Boot up times, at least in Windows 7, seem to take about 10 seconds longer now. It may be that Samsung will eventually update the drivers and firmware to improve this, (similar to what Intel had to do on it's 750 SSD), to improve the boot time, but I knew this was a possibility with the new technology using the NVMe protocol. All of this will continue to improve with time, and I am happy to be running this really neat slice of new technology.
I've been waiting for delivery of this item for two weeks to complete my new SkyLake build. The i7-6700k is so fast I really needed something more than the (2) Samsung 830 SSD Raid0 configuration I had left over from my old rig. Based on the synthetic and real benchmarks I have run, the 950 Pro is 2.5x faster read and almost 5x faster write speed compared to my old Raid0 SSD setup.
For my new build I went with Windows 10 (which btw looks like total crap compared to Windows 7 Aero Glass). I originally experimented using NVLite to update a Windows 7 SP1 ISO with NVMe drivers, but in the end I decided to go with Win 10, because it has NVMe support built-in and to avoid potential UEFI problems and Secure Boot limitations. Incidentally, I found a great utility called “DoNotSpy10” that eliminates all the new Microsoft spyware, including the key-logger, that’s built into Windows 10. Otherwise, I’m running on a new Asus Deluxe motherboard with the Intel Z170 chipset. The 950 Pro configured in the BIOS as SATA Express (not M.2) with the CSM set to UEFI only for boot device. According to the benchmarks I’m getting, the NVMe is utilizing the proper 4 PCIe lanes.
The new Skylake build (using the 950 Pro 512GB and 32 GBs of Corsair 3200 MHz DDR4) is pretty fast, but not as fast as I expected compared to the 8 year old Q6600 system it replaced. According to Mores Law Skylake should be 2^4x = 16x faster. But as far as I can tell it’s only about 4x faster. Not all that impressive considering eight years of development.
The 950 Pro is tiny - slightly larger than a stick of gum, with memory chips populated on one side only. It gets pretty hot when running CrystalDiskMark (about 150-deg F maybe), but with no thermal throttling that I've seen so far.
Before I ordered the 950 Pro I experimented with the PCIe version of the Intel 750 400GB NVMe, which I later returned (for some reason it interfered with my NVIDIA card). Before the 950 Pro came out, the Intel 750 was the fastest thing out there. But significantly, the 950 Pro, with its 32-layer 3D V-NAND technology, has about a 50% faster continuous write speed than the Intel. I think I'm much happier with the 950 Pro - it's cheaper, faster, smaller, cooler and 'cooler'!
Update: Samsung’s website says they, “…will be producing a proprietary driver for improved performance”, compared to the native Windows driver. So it’s possible we’ll see a little more speed out of this already very fast SSD.

I purchased this SSD to replace my older 256 M.2 SSD and what a difference it has made. The 4K speed of this drive is beyond comprehension. Even though this drive was replacing an existing M.2 SSD the difference was mindblowing.
My productivity has increased exponentially due to the 950 Pros ability to read and write faster than even I expected. My old drive (that this replaced) was also incredibly fast, and in all fairness was no slouch at most tasks, however 4K read/write speeds are incredibly important for an SSD and often overlooked, and this is where the 950 truly comes alive and stretches its legs. Because of its incredible ability to fetch small / random chunks of data at speeds that dwarf my previous drive, I have seen an insurmountable increase in productivity in my day to day tasks.
Boot times have been reduced substantially, however (and more importantly) editing, photoshop, application installations, gaming etc have all received outstanding improvements / boosts in performance etc that over a period of weeks, I end up saving hours of time. For me this is truly a game changer as I find that im finishing my work tasks slightly quicker than ever before which gives me more time to enjoy some gaming or movie watching.
The reliability and stability of 950 are both major selling points too, so if you need reliability / stability (as well as speed), then the 950 is the right choice.
If you are looking for a fast, reliable, secure storage device for your PC then look no further. This is the device you should buy!
Reviewed in India on September 29, 2016
Das kann an etwas höheren Temperaturen liegen, denn als ich auf die SSD mal beim offenen Gehäuse und im Betrieb des Rechners die Temperatur gefühlt hatte, so war die schon merkbar warm, aber nicht so warm wie eine Heizung voll aufgedreht, also 70°. Ich schätze mal 40° im Normalbetrieb. Was mir auch beim Kopieren aufgefallen ist, ist dass der Schreibwert nach ein paar Sekunden einbricht - SSD nach SSD. Allerdings das Löschen von Dateien ist spürbar schneller, was aber ja nicht wirklich löscht, sondern nur Flags setzt, dass Blöcke sind. Das geht aber gerade bei vielen kleinen Dateien rasend schnell-
Bei mir ist die Platte mit 4 x PCIe Lanes angeschlossen - MSI 170 Pro Mainboard - und funktioniert tadellos, wenn auch nicht so schnell, wie man das von insgesamt 32 Gb/s erwarten könnte.
Ich denke, es kommt auch immer auf die Kombination von Mainboard, verwendetem Chip-Satz und der SSD an.
Insgesamt will ich die Kühlung noch etwas verbessern, da die SSD typischerweise zwischen Prozessor und Grafikkarte liegt. Gerade die Grafikkarte erzeugt einiges an Abwärme nach oben zur SSD.
Ich habe den Samsung Treiber ausprobiert, der so auf den Samsung Consumer SSD Seiten nicht zu finden ist und den ich jetzt auch nicht mehr finden konnte und ich rate zur Vorsicht. Mir hat der Treiber bei der De-Installation auf meinem PC, der allerdings in einer Windows-Domäne ist, mein Profil zerschossen. Auch konnte ich keine Vergleiche fahren, da die Samsung Magician Software mit dem Samsung Treiber nicht mehr wirklich funktionierte. Die angehängten Screen Snapshots sind mit dem Standard Windows Treiber entstanden. Spürbar war eine Performance Steigerung mit dem Samsung Treiber für mich nicht.
Fazit: Wer eine Steigerung der Windows-Startzeiten wie zwischen einer magnetischen Platte und einer SSD erwartet wird enttäuscht sein. Allerdings, ist durchaus eine schnellere Abarbeitung bei Festplattenintensiven Anwendungen spürbar. Man merkt hier sehr deutlich, dass die PC-Performance von wesentlich mehr Faktoren abhängt als nur der Festplatten-Performance. Da gehört genauso die Programmierung, die Grafikkarte, der Speicher, das Mainboard Chipset und eben auch die Festplatten-Performance mit dazu.
Ich persönlich werde noch ein wenig mit der Kühlung experimentieren aber ich möchte diese SSD nicht mehr missen. Was mir Unverständlich ist, warum Samsung da keinen Kühlkörper auf die Chips gepackt hat? Wahrscheinlich ging mal da von röhrenden Server Gehäusen aus, die nur in Rechenzentren, ohne menschliche Ohren laufen und dementsprechend gut gekühlt sind. Auch wäre eine kleine App, die ein rotes Symbol für eine Heruntertaktung der SSD bei hohen Temperaturen schön. Das fand Samsung vielleicht nicht so gut, fände ich aber hilfreich.
Das verdirbt mir aber den Spaß an der SSD nicht. Man muss aber bereit sein, schon relativ viel Geld für eine SSD auszugeben, deren Effekt man nur bei Plattenintensiven Anwendungen spürt.
Ansonsten ist die SSD bisher sehr zuverlässig und funktioniert ohne Probleme.
Mir persönlich war es das wert und daher vergebe ich:

Die angehängten Screen Snapshots sind mit dem Standard Windows Treiber entstanden. Spürbar war eine Performance Steigerung mit dem Samsung Treiber für mich nicht.
Fazit: Wer eine Steigerung der Windows-Startzeiten wie zwischen einer magnetischen Platte und einer SSD erwartet wird enttäuscht sein. Allerdings, ist durchaus eine schnellere Abarbeitung bei Festplattenintensiven Anwendungen spürbar. Man merkt hier sehr deutlich, dass die PC-Performance von wesentlich mehr Faktoren abhängt als nur der Festplatten-Performance. Da gehört genauso die Programmierung, die Grafikkarte, der Speicher, das Mainboard Chipset und eben auch die Festplatten-Performance mit dazu.
Ich persönlich werde noch ein wenig mit der Kühlung experimentieren aber ich möchte diese SSD nicht mehr missen. Was mir Unverständlich ist, warum Samsung da keinen Kühlkörper auf die Chips gepackt hat? Wahrscheinlich ging mal da von röhrenden Server Gehäusen aus, die nur in Rechenzentren, ohne menschliche Ohren laufen und dementsprechend gut gekühlt sind. Auch wäre eine kleine App, die ein rotes Symbol für eine Heruntertaktung der SSD bei hohen Temperaturen schön. Das fand Samsung vielleicht nicht so gut, fände ich aber hilfreich.
Das verdirbt mir aber den Spaß an der SSD nicht. Man muss aber bereit sein, schon relativ viel Geld für eine SSD auszugeben, deren Effekt man nur bei Plattenintensiven Anwendungen spürt.
Ansonsten ist die SSD bisher sehr zuverlässig und funktioniert ohne Probleme.
Mir persönlich war es das wert und daher vergebe ich:

Como bueno:
La velocidad, la fácil instalación, y que no hace ruido (no tiene piezas mecánicas).
Como malo:
El precio y que no siempre aprovecharás esta velocidades.
Por ejem: Si copias archivos desde un USB/Disco externo dependerás siempre de las velocidades de estos.
