I expect as they been told to.
I noticed that the 256gb version is often faster than the bigger brother due to thermal throttling.
I'm in doubt if choose the 256 or the 512. What do you suggest?
Depends on what your primary use for it is going to be. If you are going to be hammering it with intensive reads/writes continuously for hours at a time for something considered mission critical, then you may have legitimate justification to forego the capacity to get the most throughput, TBW endurance, P/E cycles, and warranty.
...but if you are part of the remaining 99% of users on Earth, then just get the most SSD capacity that money will buy while getting what you personally deem as decent/acceptable throughput, TBW endurance, P/E cycles, and warranty.

The problem is that 512GB is too few to get it as a primary hard drive (OS, gaming, coding + virtual machines) and too much to get it as a OS only drive.
256GB is a strange size.
I want to eliminate my 2TB HDD for everything that isn't photos or videos and I need at least a 1TB for this.
I don't know if keeping a 256GB 950 and a 1TB 850 or wait for the 1TB 950.
http://www.legitreviews.com/samsung-ssd-950-pro-512gb-nvme-pcie-ssd-review_174096/3there was a or several reviews that put a fan on the 512GB and throttle was solved. It only needs a little airflow. So don't have a crappy case and don't leave it fanless and near large amount of heat -_-
I forget the review but someone tested it with making sure it had air flow and problem was solved.

Anyone get an Amazon notice for an updated release date?
you be surprised, when manufacturers send out free kit, there is a review guide that is sent alongside that kit e.g. on the nvidia gtx 960 notice how every single reviewer concentrated on 1080p and compared to the 600 series instead of 700 series, well nvidia told them to do that.
A reviewer can ignore such a guide but then they would likely get blacklisted from further freebies.

I wonder how well these will do even in high airflow cases as most designs don't direct any air down on the motherboard just across itthanks. I knew I saw that somewhere. Basically, don't have a shit case with no air flow derp

Almost every case has a side intake? I'd say less than half of the popular cases do - none of the Corsair Obsidian models or "high airflow" cubes do, nor do most of the current Lian Li line up. Silverstone FT02 and FT05 have great airflow but not a side intake. Windforce isn't going to direct air onto the motherboard either. Will be interesting to see how much airflow these need - perhaps it's not that much depending on location of M.2 slot and arrangement of GPU(s).almost every case has an intake on the side panel....Plus if you have a GPU like windforce or anything like that those push a lot of air everywhere.
or if you actually have a good case like the core x9 you have fans everywhere...or at least if you want to.
so again it comes down to dont buy a crap 50 dollar case....i never understand this. Your case lasts eternity and yet people buy the crappiest cases in the world.

Top down coolers like the Noctua CH-N14 could also help.
ummm yea it does. That blows into the heatsink so the heat goes down and up so plenty of air hits the motherboard.
All the cases I have looked at have side fans as far as I can recall. My Core x9 has fans everywhere...or can. I just don't have it set like that ATM.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...=Cat_Computer-Cases_1-_-VisNav-_-ATXFullTower
large amount of those have side fans or at least bottom fans that hit the MB.
I still think getting airflow on this can't be that hard. I mean I dont own one case that couldn't do that and thats about 6. And several of them i would classify as crap cases but they were craiglist computers.

you've never looked at a case that didn't have a side fan? really?
I get your core x9 case has fans everywhere, that's a pretty niche product based on the form factor and design
you completely glossed over the fact that a great deal of cases don't have side air intakes, including a lot of popular game cases which I named above
yes, a lot of cases do, but a lot don't, the majority of cases don't - a lot of high end cases have side windows with no venting
stop and think before posting....the windforce cards do not direct air onto the motherboard, do I need to diagram this? yes they do blow a lot of air around and some of that air will inevitably come in contact with the motherboard, not the same thing
also keep in mind on most motherboards, the M.2 card is mounted parallel to the motherboard so sideways airflow is going to have very little surface area contact and may well be located under the graphics card

The 950 Pro kind of reminds me of the original Killer NIC from a while back.
Black PCB, bold performance claims, but only a couple percent gains on tests where it even won.
Killer NIC or Not. I bet you more of these 950 Pro's end in peoples pc's in a month than Killer NIC has in it's life time
is there any speculation on the release date and price of the 1TB version?
next year and probably 600-700 I would bet
Amazon changed release date to Nov 2nd now, +1 day, but I still show an ETA of 11/3.

but why amazon says me that he will ship my 950 PRO on 23 of december?
Waiting for 128gb m.2 nvme at a sensible price.
because they are Santa Claus and know you don't need it til christmas
But is it an error of Amazon.co.UK?
Do they really ship on 23 of decwmber?
Why if amazon.com will start shipping on November 2nd?
1. there isn't one of those being made.
2. why? you would take a large performance hit with that and make the drive completely pointless and you would be better off buying a 256/512 GB SATA
So what you're saying is, it would drop the 2% gain the 950 Pro has on SATA drives to 0%, making a 128GB completely pointless. Ok. Remind me again why the +2% isn't just as pointless?you would take a large performance hit with that and make the drive completely pointless
