The xp951 is out now and is about 2x the speed of the xp941 but they are hard to find and it is unclear if they have a warranty as Samsung only sells them to OEM's.going to get the xp941 now instead

Yer i saw that, was in need of a new drive now tho , shame ocuk arent getting any xp941 in but i was "flexable" and got 1 for 340quid
I have 2 pcs so will look at the 951 when/if they mature a bit
Not sure but isn't it called SM951?
I looked into them, but even the XP941 is as rare as hen's teeth currently with only the odd retailer having them on OEM.
The new NVMe SSD's for PCIe & M.2 look promising, but so far G Skill has left a bad taste in my mouth, so will be waiting to see what happens before I invest any serious amount of money in this new SSD technology.
Lots of hot air being blown by many manufacturers, but so far, very little actual hardware available and the G Skill has been disappointing to say the least.

You are correct, it’s SM951. The Intel DC P3600 PCI-e SSD looks to be one of the best options at this time but £650 for a 400GB is expensive, hopefully the price per GB will drop soon.

Sorry for the delay in getting the Intel P3600 codes live. I have been getting details from Intel on them. I will also have some new ranges set up as well and will be adding the new models due out soon as well. I have some 400GB, 800GB and 1.2TB P3600 coming in by the end of this week.
The other nice thing about the Intel is the 5 year warranty compared to everyone else's 3 year.
Though as you say, still a little pricey, and even the write speed seems slow compared to the read as even the XP941 is 950MB/s (72,0000 4k IOPS), but I guess they are meant for Data Centres so the read is key in that environment, just piping the theoretical read of the G Skill @ 2000 MB/s. Though the 4K Read IOPS are very impressive!
That last spec can't be right? 3 drive writes per day

Presumably means 1.2TB per day (400GB = 1 drive, so 1200GB per day?)
Here is a review of the Intel P3700, some info on the P3600 as well.

This is the new samsung-xs1715 which is faster but will be hard to get and cost silly amounts.

The information is correct and comes from the Intel Website. You are looking at 2 million hours MTBF (mean time between failures) an endurance rating of 2.19 Petabytes on the 400GB drive. But it does say 3 drive writes/day.
I have updated all the modules with the PB details.

I see this is back in stock. All sorted and no failure rate now ?
