The Samsung 960 EVO is an M.2 NVMe solid state drive built on the Polaris controller and PCIe 3.0 x4. It is rated for sequential reads up to 3,200 MB/s and writes up to 1,500 MB/s, with Intelligent TurboWrite accelerating writes on the 250 GB model. Endurance is rated at 100 TBW with a 3-year limited warranty, and Dynamic Thermal Guard throttles the drive if it runs hot. It suits builders and upgraders who want fast NVMe storage for a boot drive or everyday workloads; rivals like the WD Black and Intel 600p trade some speed or endurance against it, and owners praise the speed while noting the small capacity fills quickly and sustained writes slow once the TurboWrite buffer is exhausted.
