Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.3.
The SSD960 PRO may be a little slower than Toshiba's RD400 when it comes to 4K QD32 reads but it offers better write performance.
However, it leaves the previous generation SSD950 PRO completely in the shade when it comes to both reads and in particularly writes, where it has over twice the performance of the SSD950 PRO.
Looking at both the default and 0 fill results, the Polaris controller doesn't seem to have a preference in the type of data it's asked to work with.
You have some kind of bottleneck since you don’t achieve maximum specification speeds.
This will set you back at least 3 grand.
its est at $1299 USD lol.
The IOMeter IOPS results aren’t near the specification performance because a different test procedure is used to the one that gives Samsung its specified figures. IOPS numbers can change quite significantly based on the tested QD and number of Threads.
that is truly impressive, I would like to see some reviews for the lower capacity models
Should be released on 10/30 (or 30/10 for you euro’s) here in the states, and I cannot wait to get my 2tb 960 pro! I’ve literally been postponing a whole new build just to wait for this drive, but it’s going to be well worth the wait!
“…that’s a bit of an understatement to say the least as Samsung quote Sequential read/write figures for the 2TB drive as 3,500MB/s and 2,100MB/s respectively. Incidentally, they are the same figures as for both the 512GB and 1TB drive..”
This text is directly from the first page of the review….did you even read the article?

Tweaktown’s review…only they test drives by making them the OS drive, then filling it to 75% capacity to more accurately mimic the conditions a real user will be using the drive under…
just because it is rated for the same speed, doesn’t mean that it will perform exactly the same, the random read/write performance isn’t as fantastic as the ratings are showing
