"up to 2,150MB/sec read & up to 1,500MB/sec write speeds" You read that right!

 

 

This new SSD that was released a day or so ago on amazon claims to top the speeds of all the other SSD's currently listed on the User Benchmark website here.

 

You can buy it on Amazon for an awesome price for the performance. Amazon Purchase Link <--- See for yourself

I'm posting here because I want to hear the communities thoughts and I'd love to see some reviews before I pull the trigger and order this new SSD.

Damn, @LinusTech get this and review it!

[PiGHamM3R]

Yup. I'd like to see this against the Samsung SM951 M.2 and the older XP941 M.2 SSDs... and against an Intel 750 series SSD

Specs seems like a carbon copy of SM951. These guys buy flash from others, but does Samsung sell flash to others?

It seems they use samsung components so it could be legit.

 

Controller: Samsung® UBX 3-Core

Flash Type: Samsung® 16nm MLC

 

But I still say :

cheapest one for 100$ ? really ?  I call bullshit on that one.

my 3 m.2 ssd's in raid 0 can't acheive higher than 1500mb/s reads

I'm very skeptical as well. Which is why I am hoping for some reviews of this product soon. I don't doubt that the newer SSDs being released have these capabilities though. I have been doing a lot of SSD research recently.

I wanna believe. Just waiting for some reviews to roll out for this product. Then we will really see!

Time (and future reviews of this product) will tell. I really hope it is going to be as good as it is listed.

forreal! Everyone spread the word around about this product on the major tech youtube channels! Someone will end up reviewing it!

Imagine if you RAID like 2 or 3 of these in RAID 0.

I'm not sure if these PCIe m.2 SSDs work in Raid 0. I'm not positive though.

[BoredErica]

Who's actually going to notice a difference though?

With Skylake I think it does.

Dmi 2.0 is saturated well before the limit of m.2 ultra.

The x99 interface and the dmi 3.0 however could in theory get some bonus from raid 0 m.2s (only two really though).

This just seems to be a sm951 rebrand and the 512 gb one is only 10 usd cheaper anyways so I will avoid it.

The speeds claim to be significantly faster than the SM951 and it also uses samsung components. Are you sure this one couldn't possibly be more worth for $10 less?

Speeds aren't different.

They are quoting the 512 speeds.

2150/1550

Iops look lower actually.

Seriously I'm not touching a clear rebrand for 10 dollars less when I lose out on all that warranty stuff.

Thank you for clarifying this! I'm actually pretty new to this stuff I've just been doing a lot of research because I will be building a workstation PC very soon. I'm looking at the 400GB  intel 750 Series at the moment but I'm keeping my eye out for anything new that samsung or intel will release in the next few months that might be better than the 750 series for a lower or similar price.

The SM951 That you linked me a review to is actually the NVMe version which has not been released yet to consumers to my knowledge. So I wouldn't even be able to get my hands on that SM951.

That's cause its oem. That said the ahci version is available as as far as I know it offers basically the same speeds with lower iops, which now that I think about it is probably exactly what this one is.

Compare to

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SM951-512GB-AHCI-MZHPV512HDGL-00000/dp/B00VELDBJ6

Yep. 100% identical.

Welp that confirms it.

Then that means i'm still in the same boat I'm waiting for the NVMe version of the SM951 to come out because... NVMe. Thanks anyways for your help!

Hi everyone,

 

Yes, this is a rebranded Samsung SM951.  This is actually disclosed in the product description on Amazon as well as on our website.  For those of you who mentioned you don't want to lose out on warranty, this is exactly why we rebranded the product...  The SM951 is an OEM device and was not intended for consumers.  This means the seller of the device is solely responsible for assisting with warranty if a problem occurs.  Here is a link from TSSDR about our Eluktro Pro-X which explains everything about us:

Yeah, I figured as much after asking around.

 

Any plans for the NVME version anytime soon?

We don't have any plans for an NVMe PCIe until our upcoming motherboard's with Skylake support the feature.

 

Thanks!
