Samsung 960 Pro / Evo

[Radox-0]

The price has been changing wildly over last few weeks (here and else where). I'm positive it got as high as £379 for the 512GB 960 pro at one point.

Unfortunately I decided to shopped elsewhere and I pre-paid £317 including postage for an estimated delivery of 22nd November (as some else mentioned).

I could easily cancel if stock turns up here or there.

That 961 benchmark looks all the more advertising, however I shall be patient playing the long game..... pining for a GTX 1080Ti to finish latest build.

Yep prices have shot up. I paid £580 for 1TB and the £290 for the 512GB initially before canceling for said 1 TB. Gone up to around £620 and £320-350 respectively for current prices. Must be pre-ordering like hot cakes!

Asked and was told they were still expected this week.

Likewise, fingers crossed!

That would be good!

Could someone do me a massive favour and send me a copy of the driver disk that comes with the 960 pro?

As I've got the oem 961 there are no drivers.

Will to pay postage costs.

 

[bledd]

Surely just ask someone to upload them.

 

[Deluxe1]

Or that, either way I'd be happy with.

Do driver disks even come with the 960 Pro? Nothing come with the 950 Pro of mine, can't imagine they would bundle anything with the 960 Pro either?

There are no drivers on Samsung's site:

and there may not yet be any:

MS drivers are ok.

Is there going be much difference between the 960 EVO and 960 Pro struggling decide which to pre order

Nice to have a fast drive on paper but as I've noticed game loading times are not that much different from a standard ssd drive:

I've never understood the big desire for these drives - they're 2-3 times the price of an 850 Evo and the performance increase is marginal apart from pretty benchmarks from what I understand.

They seem a bit like unfinished tech - overheating problems and only one or two slots on your mobo for them.

Pro is due end of this month, we expect the USD/Pound ratio to remain at 1.20 for that delivery.

EVO is not expected until December, as such with margin being slim, were using a USD/Pound ratio of 1.10 expecting pound to weaken further.

thanks to trump, that may not be the case

Has anyone got any news on delivery dates for these. Was hoping mine would come some time this week. Need it to finish my new build.

Even OcUK have given up on giving out a new ETA so your guess is as good as mine.

Yeah my new build is stalled waiting on my 960 PRO too. 22nd of November is the only info I have (whether that is accurate or not I don't know).
