Samsung Launched 950 Pro SSD with M.2 2280 and NVMe

Samsung has launched 950 Pro SSD with M.2 2280 interface. The 950 Pro SSD will be the Samsung’s top of the line consumer SSD with M.2 interface. As you may aware, the storage industry is transition from SATA to M.2 with NMVe protocol. The 950 Pro will feature the same 2nd generation MLC 32-layer V-NAND 128Gb die technology that was on the 850 Pro. However, unlike the 850 Pro that uses AHCI protocol, the 950 Pro would be the first drive in the industry that pairs the V-NAND with the NVMe. This combination should bring performance boost while lowering the production, so expect the next generation of SSDs to deliver even better performance per cost ratio.
