Samsung 950PRO, when?

[sblantipodi]

As title,
I want it now.

Is there some news on its release date?

 

[t_ski]

The only thing I've seen so far has been "October." Subbing to see if anyone else has an answer.

[mls1995]

Count me in as someone ready to buy ASAP.

 

[Killerxp100]

Any info on pricing?

Any info on pricing?

that's been announced in all the press releases. google it. I think the 512gb set I want is $350

 

[t_ski]

And the 256GB model is supposed to be $199.

This announcement I found today says that release is slated for "early October." That should mean within the next nine days.

http://www.excaliberpc.com/636626/samsung-950-pro-series-mz-v5p512bw.html November 5th? I was thinking October 12th.

BTW, if you're thinking about buying an 850 Pro, do it now because the moment the 950 is available to preorder the 850 discounts will disappear.

I don't think the 950 will impact the 850 in terms of pricing, sales, and discounts...2 different segments: 2.5" SATA III vs M.2 NVMe.

Two different prices

 

[SomeGuy133]

Two different prices

i think it would if m.2 was more saturated in the market segment but i dont think there are enough adapters to kill off demand for SATAs quite yet

 

[ZeqOBpf6]

Personally I think they're going to have a SATA line and an m.2 line and that's it. Even many H'ers don't feel the 850 Pro is worth it over the Evo so having an m2 evo, m2 pro, sata evo and sata pro would be a bit much.

 

[Brahmzy]

I need one of these. 4, actually.

 

[DNR]

I was Micro Center today and the guy that handles their hard drives told me October 23rd. He didn't mention anything about pricing.

so their earlier October statement was a bald face lie like what clapper said to congress....jerks

 

[Drawmonster]

Subbed. I need one to finish the new gaming rig in my sig.

"early Oct" might mean released to vendors on Oct 14th/15th. So the Oct 23rd sale date kinda makes sense

 

[KazeoHin]

Just saying, we have the 950s here in Australia... And they are reasonably priced for a Pro SSD...

Edit: m0po beat me to it!

that is mid October not early....

 

[Terminus]

I haven't even seen it listed anywhere. I won't get my hopes up that it will be out before November, at least in any significant quantity

 

[rastaban]

True, but c'mon they always do that. First half of month is technically "early" for them.

Also, look at the availability of lower end desktop Skylake chips. "Launching end of Sept" and still not a sign of availability.

intel did explicitly mention that was the flagships (6600/6700K) only though so that was a true statement.

 

[coreyb3]

A guy at Microcenter told me 23 Oct. He seemed to know his stuff too.

Is there going to be much of a noticeable difference between this and a SATA SSD if usage is just gaming and light desktop use?

Probably not discernable in a blind taste test under that kind of usage.

this.

after the maps and textures load or whatever it's all about the GPU anyway.

regardless, my body is ready for 2500mb/s

 

[mls1995]

I'm still very interested but I also just got my rig finally working 100% and I don't want to jump through 20 hoops to get one of these working as an OS drive. Hopefully these will be plug and play with Win8+ drivers.

should be plug and play with 7 and above

 

[mls1995]

the other Samsung OEM m.2 drives certainly didn't seem like they were plug and play. But hoping these are.

becuase they were not retail and were not supposed to be sold to general public

 

[Drawmonster]

Still using my 840 Evo from my old build. Wondering if it's worth the upgrade in the new rig in my sig if it doesn't really equate to gaming performance.

Do it if you want to, but with gaming, the cost would be better spent on a 1+ TB SATA III drive, imo.

I agree, I will buy a 1TB 850 EVO for gaming and a 950PRO for OS, software and processing contents.
Storage will be the next upgrade to the rig in signature.

Sounds good. I'll check with my Micro Center tomorrow when I pick up my $319.99 6700k. If I find anything different, I'll post.

 

[WarLust]

Heard some new info today at my MC. Apparently the release date has been pushed back to Nov. 1 due to the shipping problems on the West coast. The salesman confirmed it through email and said even though they may get a few in before that time, they won't sell them until Nov. 1
