For instance, on AS SSD’s 4K workload, the SSD 950’s read speeds on PCIe 3.0 x4 was nearly identical to that when it was using PCIe 2.0 x4. However, on more intensive workloads and when dealing with smaller data blocks, the Samsung SSD 950 Pro’s performance advantage is not so obvious. The SSD 950 Pro also recorded the highest IOPs we have ever seen on Iometer’s 64K streaming reads and writes workloads.

Sequential read and write speeds in particular was very impressive, with sequential read speeds exceeding 2GB/s in some instances. Over PCIe 3.0 x4, the Samsung SSD 950 Pro revealed its true performance potential and was significantly quicker. For the 256GB model that we are testing, Samsung claims sequential read and write speeds of up to 2200MB/s and 900MB/s respectively, and it’ll be interesting to see if we can indeed attain such blistering levels of performance.

Today, we are revisiting the SSD 950 Pro, but this time, we will be testing it over PCIe 3.0 x4, and thereby unleashing the full fury of the SSD 950 Pro.
So the only way for these users to maximize the potential of the SSD 950 Pro is to use a PCIe 3.0 x4 to M.2 adapter. This is because most Z97 motherboards only have M.2 slots that support PCIe 2.0 x4 and not PCIe 3.0 x4. We did so because we felt that this would give existing Z97 users a good idea of the kind of performance the SSD 950 Pro would offer.
Earlier when we tested Samsung’s new flagship SSD 950 Pro drive, we did so over PCIe 2.0 x4. Additionally, it also uses the company's MLC V-NAND and UBX controller. The SSD 950 Pro is Samsung's latest flagship SSD and also their first SSD to support the new NVMe protocol and PCIe 3.0 x4. Unleashing the Samsung SSD 950 Pro's potential
