The Samsung 960 PRO is a high-end consumer NVMe SSD from 2016, built on MLC NAND with a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface in the M.2 2280 form factor. Its sequential reads and writes and its sustained write speed were among the best of its generation, and MLC NAND gives it strong endurance for heavy writing. It suits desktop and laptop builders who want fast storage and long write life, but it is an older drive: newer TLC and PCIe 4.0/5.0 drives beat it on peak speed and often on value. Owners rate its speed and reliability highly; the main complaints are heat under sustained load and the lack of bundled software or a heatsink.
