I approached Samsung with the question of a proprietary driver, and at the time they stated they had no plans for a proprietary NVMe driver. We felt like the issue was likely due to the lack of a proprietary NVMe driver. We don't know if the V-NAND Flash is running cooler, or the controller firmware has been tweaked or it's a combination of both that has eliminated the heat issues, but we can tell you up front that we experienced no heat related issues whatsoever with the 950 Pro.Īs mentioned heat wasn't the only issue we had when testing the SM951, we also experienced inexplicable performance drops. The 950 Pro employ's Samsung's second generation 3D V-NAND Flash the same utilized on the 850 Pro. The 950 Pro utilizes the same proprietary UBX 3-core 8-channel controller as the SM951, but there is a big difference in the NAND Flash.

In our SM951 NVMe review, we speculated that Samsung would be introducing a full blown retail M.2 NVMe SSD soon, and that's exactly what we have in the 950 Pro. We chose not to highlight these problems in our SM951 NVMe review for one reason the SM951 NVMe is an OEM SSD, designed specifically to perform as advertised only with specific OEM hardware. At times, the SM951 would run hot, and we had issues where the drive would inexplicably run at far below its expected performance even when it was not hot. However, we occasionally ran into issues when running the OEM drive. When we tested the SM951 NVMe OEM SSD, which was the precursor to the 950 Pro, we were blown away by its performance in consumer applications. This why the 750 Series was actually outperformed in consumer applications by Samsung's 256GB SM951 M.2 NVMe SSD in our testing.
Enterprise SSD's are designed to deliver peak performance at deep queue depths, which is not ideal for consumer applications. Intel's 750 Series SSDs are essentially enterprise SSDs with consumer flash. Popular Now: Microsoft 'neutered' Bing Chat after its AI threatened to carry out revenge
