In reply to Naganithin Manne. Read and write top performance will ever be reached very seldom and in very specific instances. I have yet to ever see any drive reach maximum performance during true transfer testing of files, although other tests have demonstrated this.

In reply to GraveNoX. Is it true for the read speed as well? I don't think I'll write more than 13 GB at once apart from when I am installing the OS. Can it read all 250 GB at 3300 MBps?

In reply to OctaMatrix Network. DIdn't tested myself, but I heard that v3 and v5 gives different results, so make sure you use same version from review sites.

This is like SSHD (HDD + 8GB of SSD Cache).
960 EVO is like SSSLC (SSD + 13GB of SLC Cache)
Write 20GB file on SSHD, it drops to 100 MB/s after 8GB.
Write 20GB file on 960 EVO, it drops to 300 MB/s after 13GB, like any cheap SATA SSD.
Just a drive to fool people in thinking they bought the greatest SSD of all time. You actually bought 13GB of fast storage + 237 GB of Kingston V300.
Good job Samsung! You really know how to sell cheap products for hundreds of $$$.

In reply to Les@TheSSDReview. Why are all my results so much faster than yours? 6GB/sec on multiple benchmarks and I only have the 250GB 960 EVO NVMe m.2
