I just bought an M2 PCI-e NVMe Samsung 960 EVO specifically for it’s speed. It is super fast but I returned the laptop that it was in and need another laptop that will accept this type of drive. I would have kept the laptop but there were too many problems or things I didn’t care for. The power plug was too small and got bent in less than a month, and the cord was way too short. The home and end keys I use a lot especially on forums, and with this Acer Swift 3 (Intel 8th gen. i5-8250) you need to press the Fn key along with the home or end key which is a huge hassle. Now I bought it for $599 from Costco and finding a similarly priced laptop that will accept this Samsung 960 is an impossibility.
I got sidetracked in my previous post, but when I had the 960 running I had done the Crystal Disk test and the numbers were close to Samsungs specs... 3200 mb/s read and 1900 mb/s write but that was before this patch so it would be interesting to see how much that changed, but alas that laptop was returned and I have this new Samsung 960 unable to be used now.
