Samsung today released two of its highest-capacity SSDs for consumers. The drives are based on the M.2 "gumstick" form factor, which is quickly being adopted in the latest ultra-thin notebooks and PCs.

The new 960 Pro and 960 EVO SSDs are based on the ever-more popular non-volatile memory express (NVMe) specification and Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) Gen.3 x4 lane motherboard interface.

The 960 Pro sports blazingly fast sequential read/write speeds of up to 3.5Gbps and 2.1Gbps, respectively. The 960 EVO has sequential read/write rates of 3.2Gbps and 1.9Gbps, respectively.

Dang! Time for an upgrade... my current 512GB NVMe 950 Pro only goes 2.5GB/s.
