Nothing special.

Any members in here running Linux and a Samsung 950 Pro and would be willing to post a benchmark with the hardware? I used iozone to get some read/write data on mine (256 GB version) and would like to compare with others. Mine is connected to the PCIe bus using an ableconn adapter as my...
