Polaris is a hot topic these days, and it doesn't just refer to GPUs. Samsung's Polaris SSD controller is a marvelous piece of engineering. Polaris takes sequential and random performance to a whole new level. Samsung's 48 layer VNAND is just as excitin...

Samsung continues to impress us. In our opinion, they currently have the fastest consumer SSD's on the market. The main drawback of the SM951 series is availability. Where can you buy one? In addition, will it run as expected on your machine? Remember, t...

Incredibly fast and surprisingly affordable for the speed, but the cutting edge tech means dicey compatibility and drivers that haven't fully matured...
Since the Samsung SM951 NVMe SSD is the first NVMe SSD I've ever had the opportunity to test, I wasn't really sure what kind of performance I'd be seeing. Having tested the Samsung SM951 AHCI, I assumed that there'd be some sort of performance improvement...

In terms of performance, the NVMe version of the SM951 offers an upgrade over its AHCI sibling. The average data rate (i.e. large IO performance) isn't dramatically better compared to the AHCI version, but when it comes to small IO latency the SM951 and N...
