Samsung 960 EVO M.2 1TB NVMe SSD Launch Day

NVMe is what I would call the future of SSD drive technology that exchanges the flexibility of SATA for increased speed and direct PCI Express connectivity.  M.2 is a popular format for these drives but comes with a major size limitation to maintain the compact form factor.

3D NAND has paved the way to increase SSD storage capacity and allow M.2 drives to reach the mythical 1 Terabyte capacity and still remain affordable. 

Samsung has launched their 960 EVO drive today in all of its black chewing gum form factor goodness.

Be sure to check out the reviews, assuming you are willing to give up SATA SSD RAID for a single drive on the PCI Express bus train.

Until then I'll be on the phone with Samsung trying to get one for myself.
