About This Product
The Samsung 960 Pro 512GB is an M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD. It offers high sequential read/write speeds suitable for demanding professional applications and intensive multitasking. While fast, newer PCIe Gen 4 and Gen 5 drives offer superior performance for a similar or lower price point, making this a less competitive option for new builds.
