I have a 960 EVO that I installed in an M2 slot that's right in between the top PCI-e slot and the CPU socket, and then installed the dinky little "heatsink" that came with the motherboard (it's more like a solid block of aluminium with a thermal pad on the bottom) on top of it. Since it's crammed in between the back plate of the graphics card and the CPU cooler, it naturally gets pretty toasty and it sits around 50-60 degrees C most of the time. Now, I have some vague recollection that NAND storage actually wants to be pretty warm, but I just figured I'd check if anyone knows if there are any articles about longer term effects of this stuff. There is a second slot on the board way down at the bottom that I could move it to, but I think the airflow there might not necessarily be better - it's just not quite as close to a bunch of hot things. Relatedly, anyone know the difference between the two temp sensors on the 960 EVO? Wild rear end guess says controller vs NAND but which is which?

I found out that my benchmark results with my 960Evo are down, but not by 50% - flashing the card BIOS improved it. It's around 15% down at 4k reads since pre patch though. But this is a terrible benchmark since I have now: - installed the Samsung driver - updated the SSD bios - patched windows

Is it weird that the 4k random writes are faster than the corresponding reads?

Looking forward to the NVME MX500 numbers, hope there isn't a big premium over an equivalently-sized SATA version.

Is there any practical difference between 2D and 3D NAND for M2 SSDs other than $50?

Windows is already on a 1TB NVME drive (that Toshiba one).

Theoretically 3D NAND might have a larger process, therefore it could have better longevity.

From the status email, it looks like PNY opted to replace my failing 3.5 year old 240G XLR8 Pro drive with a 480GB CS131. I'm bummed that I had a drive failure but at least I didn't lose my data and the RMA process was totally painless.

I'm looking to replace all the HDDs in our office PCs (x8) with SSDs, and the 250GB Crucial MX500 is cheaper on Amazon that all the other decent drives I'd consider: MX300, 850 Evo, WD Blue 3D at similar capacities. I know it's early days but is the MX500 looking like a decent bet?

That $330 MSRP for the 1TB M.2 is interesting, that's cheaper than the current 850 EVO version. But it's still SATA, apparently has the same performance as the 850, and the MX500 M.2 is coming with a $260 MSRP. Meh.

Intel just launched the 760p series as well: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12349/the-intel-ssd-760p-512gb-review They're still using 3rd party controllers but performance is a lot better than the 600p, and for slightly less money.

Hmm $649.99 for a 2TB 860 EVO vs $499.99 for a 2TB Crucial MX500 seems to put Samsung at a disadvantage.

if the 860 pro review is anything to go by, 80 (because you know it's always going to be on perma-"discount") to 150 dollar markup for a minor improvement over something within 2 percent of the 850 evo isn't very compelling. and i'm not sure samsung has the inertia with solid state drives as intel does with CPUs, OEMs (which are most of the sales) love sandisk more than anyone else.

Looks like samsung is directly selling 850 EVOs for decent prices (250GB for $89.99, 500GB for $139.99, etc). I've seen cheaper but they're reasonable: https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-850-evo-2-5-sata-iii-500gb-mz-75e500b-am/

I go as far as to say if you take the 860 Pro over a much faster (raw) 960 Evo which also costs around the same GB/$, you are pretty much an idiot, much less the far cheaper (and lol still faster) MX500.

Intel's also beating the new 900-series Samsung NVMe drives to market with the 760p, and the 512GB has a $199 MSRP. It doesn't have 3000MB/sec speeds, but honestly do you *need* that?

So why does anybody care about VROC anyway? Is the performance significantly better than software raid? I get that it's bootable, but if you're throwing money at multiple NVME SSDs you can also just get some small drive to be the boot volume for the same price as your VROC key.

Kind of a moot point, as the 512GB *does* have 3000MB+/sec speeds: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12349/the-intel-ssd-760p-512gb-review
