In held each year by Samsung SSD Global Summit event has traditionally shown a large number of new products
The most important event was the debut of solid state drives series Samsung 950 Pro, made in the form factor M.2 NGFF , equipped with interface PCI-Express 3.0 x4 and working protocol NVMe.
In some way the novelty resembles the well-known Samsung SM951, which actually hit the retail only three months ago, and at once in two versions - AHCI and NVMe.
The Samsung 950 Pro enabled the same controller Samsung UBX, but everything else - is quite different: as the flash memory is now used 40-nm 32-layer MLC 3D V-NAND, the protocol works now only NVMe and drive is aimed precisely at the retail consumer, received proper packaging.
Samsung offers two versions volume of 256 and 512 GB (in the next year plans to release 1 TB), formal specification that promise up to 2,200 and 2,500 MB / s on the operations of the linear read and up to 900 and 1500 MB / s on the operations of linear recording. The performance level - 270 and 300 thousand IOPS on random reads and 85 and 100,000 IOPS random write. This is somewhat lower than that of SM951 NVMe, the specification of which talk about the possibility of reaching 1550 MB / s and 110,000 IOPS per transaction record. But there is some reduction of peak power: upper limit decreased from 8.9 to 7.0 watts.
Official guarantee is set at five years in the resource 200 and 400 terabytes of recorded data.
Samsung 950 Pro will be available as early as October, the recommended price of $ 199.99 and $ 349.99 depending on the volume.
Another interesting device was the Samsung SSD 850 Pro.
Just two months ago was released a version capacity of 2 TB.
Scheduled for release another version Samsung 850 EVO M.2 NGFF SATA - 1TB volume (currently limiting the volume in this form factor is 500GB). This increase in capacity is also tied to the development of a new generation of flash memory 3D V-NAND.
