World’s worst unboxing – My new Samsung NVMe PCIe 950 Pro

[kloinka]

Just got this little bad boy, can’t wait to put some Linuxes on it! Has anyone else had good success with PCIe SSDs and Linux?

It outperforms SATA SSDs by over 4.5 times in sequential read and by over 2.5 times in sequential write, delivering the speeds of 2,500 MB/s and 1,500 MB/s respectively.*
* This reflects the maximum performance of 950 PRO 512 GB compared to 850 PRO 512 GB.
Results may vary based on the user environment.

I’ve done worse, it involved a knife, alcohol rub and a lighter but that unboxing is a very….. reasonable one tbh

I couldn’t tell ya kloinka, I’m still on spinning metallic disks

Sound like all that was missing with your unboxing was McAfee, blow and hookers!

I had an OCZ RevoDrive that “worked” but unreliably. The problem there was something with the funky SATA chip between the SSD and PCIe… a problem which NVMe neatly bypasses.
