Samsung Electronics, a worldwide leader
in advanced memory solutions for more than two decades, today unveiled
the Samsung 960 PRO and 960 EVO, its newest solid state drives (SSDs).
The V-NAND based, M.2 form factor SSDs were built on the company’s
category-defining Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) SSD leadership.
With powerful performance, endurance and capacity topped with all new
and more robust Samsung Magician software package, Samsung continues to
accelerate the NVMe era.
Packed with more technology and innovation than ever, the 960 PRO and
960 EVO are designed for users who seek smaller and faster storage
solutions that deliver higher bandwidth and lower latency for processing
massive amounts of data for everything from gaming and large file
transfers to 4K video rendering, data analytics and more on their
ultra-thin notebooks and PCs.
Both the 960 PRO and 960 EVO use the Peripheral Component
Interconnect Express (PCIe) Gen.3 x4 lane interface and are compliant
with NVMe specifications to realize effective use of the high-speed PCIe
bus and optimize both hardware and software configurations to take
advantage of the NVMe SSD technology. The SSDs feature Samsung Dynamic
Thermal Guard technology to manage performance during extreme workloads.
The 960 PRO and 960 EVO SSDs redefine the personal
computer performance, in part attributed to new controller which raises
the bar of consumer SSD performance. The 960 PRO delivers peak
sequential read and write transfer speeds of 3,500 MB/s and 2,100 MB/s,
respectively, and random read and write IOPS of up to 440,000 and
360,000.1)
On top of being the world’s fastest M.2 NVMe- SSD, the 960 PRO will
also offer 2 terabyte (TB) capacity, which is the highest capacity
commercially available for M.2 NVMe SSDs, along with 512GB and 1TB
versions.2) The 960 PRO’s high density was made possible by Samsung
V-NAND technology and the uniquely restructured package design. As user
capacity demand trends continue to rise, the high-density 960 PRO
capacities are poised to conveniently meet the needs of personal data
and information storage. The 960 PRO promises additional reliability and
endurance with the five-year limited warranty and up to 1.2 petabytes
written (PBW), whichever occurs first, for the 2TB capacity.
The 960 EVO is available in 250GB, 500GB and 1TB capacities) and
provide users with next-generation personal computing performance. The
new Samsung Intelligent TurboWrite technology makes its debut in the 960
EVO and accelerates sequential read and write speeds, that reach peaks
of 3,200 MB/s and 1,900 MB/s respectively.4,5) The 960 EVO’s random read
speed reaches up to 380,000 IOPS and random write speed up to 360,000
IOPS.6) The 960 EVO comes with a three-year limited warranty and up to
400 terabytes written (TBW), whichever occurs first, for the 1TB
capacity version.
The 960 PRO and 960 EVO SSDs will be available worldwide starting
October 2016, with manufacturer’s suggested retail prices starting at
$329.99 and $129.99 USD respectively.
