Samsung SM961 1TB with New Controller

[CougTek]

Available any day now at RamCity. They ship worldwide.

Looking at the specifications, it should be the fastest consumer drive on the market. It dissipates even more wattage than the 950 Pro, so it will need passive heatsinks on it too.

I don't know if RamCity is any good though. Perhaps our members from the marsupials' continent can enlight us?

I got the sm951 from them.

I'll wait 48 hours before ordering.

Have you found any workloads where the recent gains in M.2 card improvements are of any use?
I'm not seeing much change lately and would rather have higher capacity and less heat for example.

 

[ddrueding]

General performance improvements, UI/etc. For a specific task? It may get closer to saturating a full 10GbE connection?

So you are using the M.2 SSDs for hot data in the sewers? Are they designed for heavy use?

 

[ddrueding]

Nope, just workstations.
