Any idea when we can expect these to hit the market?

I need m.2 as a PCI card would interfere with my loop.

That is an M.2, it just comes with a PCI card adapter, or not, depending on which version you choose. It's just an M.2 mounted on a PCI card though, so you could buy the version with the adapter and just remove it to mount on your motherboard directly, though not much point in that if you're never gonna use the adapter.

Desktop users can still harness the power of the RD400 even if they don't have an M.2 slot by purchasing the PCIe adapter card version. Both models will be available in capacities of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1024GB

plus

[Edit] It's not NVMe though, you'll have to wait for the mysterious 1TB 950 Pro if you want that.

The Samsung SM961 1Tb NVME drive is supposedly due 2nd quarter?

ChrisD. · 8 Jun 2016 at 10:53

Should be for sale soon then...

Ordered the 1Tb Samsung SM961 from OCUK this morning.
3200Mb/s should make a noticable difference from my current 850 pro

Is it just me or has the SM961 disappeared from the overlocks store?

Most likely only ever in benchmarks.

It was available to order yesterday, but I'm waiting a month or two as I'm between jobs and haven't been paid in 8 weeks.

Did you notice a jump from a normal SSD?

I've got an 850 Evo and battling with the idea of getting one

Honestly? I don't think so, but it was so long ago. I wanted it for the size of it and not having to run power/SATA cables.

It's amazing we are approaching the PCIEE X4 bandwidth cap already, I can see X8 lanes being used within a couple of years.

Storage getting faster, videos soon getting smaller with H265. It's all good baby

Not quite the IOP's they're quoting but it's quick.
