Samsung 950 PRO Overview

The 950 Pro comes built with a Samsung UBX controller and 512MB of low-power DDR3 SDRAM. This slim M.2 SSD is designed for workstations and high-end notebooks that allow a module length of 3.1" (80mm). For support, it is compatible with SMART technology as well as TRIM commands with a supported operating system. Other notable features include AES 256-bit data encryption along with TCG Opal to help protect your sensitive data.

Performance

This V-NAND-based NVMe SSD supports PCI Express Gen 3 x4 lanes, providing a higher bandwidth and lower latency to process more data than SATA SSDs. Presented in a compact M.2 form factor, the 950 PRO is suitable for professionals using high-end PCs and workstations.

NVMe Interface

Equipped with the enhanced bandwidth of the NVMe interface, the 950 PRO can handle intensive workloads such as computer-aided design, data analysis, and engineering simulations. It outperforms SATA SSDs by over 4.5 times in sequential read and by over 2.5 times in sequential write, delivering the speeds of 2,500 MB/s and 1,500 MB/s respectively.

Power Efficiency

Compared to SATA SSD power consumption, the 950 PRO is up to 1.5 times more power efficient, so your battery will last longer and while maintaining performance.

Endurance

V-NAND technology in the 950 PRO increases endurance and prolongs the lifespan with insulators that cause less stress and are more resistant to wear under heavy client workloads over a 5-year period. The 950 PRO also features Dynamic Thermal Throttling Protection technology, which controls the temperature of the device to reduce overheating and maintain a high level of sustained performance.
