Samsung SSD960 PRO 2TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD Review

IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.

We test with both random read and write 4k tests, as shown above. There are many ways to measure the IOPS performance of a Solid State Drive, so our results will sometimes differ from manufacturer’s quoted ratings. We do test all drives in exactly the same way, so the results are directly comparable.

In the IOMeter 4K random tests, the drive produced a read score of 205,564 IOPS and writes came in at 157,826 IOPS which fall somewhere in-between the two sets of official figures for the drive.

While the results may be some way short of the top end figures that Samsung quote (due to their differing test procedure), they completely eclipse the performance of the preceding SSD950 PRO drive.
