Hi,
Dang that is fast
Now I see why my disk scores are getting crushed hell this is with the 850 pro
Attachment 166994

OS and storage drive, the 950 is a little slow compared to newer drives but it's easy to see where the 900P shines.

Hi,
Yep can't wait to see what Samsung come up with to match or beat Intel with :)

Can't recall where I read it, but I read that Samsung's drive will not beat Intel's but be very close, but at a much lower price.

Hi,
Yep nearly 400.us is a hard pill to swallow for a 900P :)

Hi,

Thanks @doorules.
BTW, if I may ask, are you happy with that P900 drive ?

Cheers,

I am fdegrove. Gives a nice snappy feeling to most things. It's also not supposed to slow down as it fills unlike most others. We will see as I am already at 62% and climbing in terms of space left. :)

If someone is under the impression that the 4k write and read speed will be instantly noticeable you will be disappointed. While I do find it snappy it's not going to make you feel like your current ssd is a tail dragger by any means.

I think its biggest attributes will definately be that it won't slow as it fills and can take a tremendous amount of writes. And of course it gives just foolish bench numbers.
