AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benching Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive.
AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.
Once again the SSD960 PRO goes straight to the top of the chart, displacing the SSD950 PRO, with the highest read and write scores we have seen so far for an SSD.
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
