NEW Samsung 950 Pro M.2 NVMe (think SM951 with VNAND & Black PCB) yum!

Hopefully just early pre-order pricing otherwise that's a bit of price gouging on the 950 Pros, $350 is about £230 + 20% VAT = £276 (round up to £280), meaning the pre-order price of £320 is a £40 premium for the UK.
 
I absolutely want this. Made a Skylake build for the SM951, definitely hanging on for this.
Do Overclockers.co.uk charge Pre-orders when you order them, or when they ship?

These babies are being mass produced, so should be no shortage of stock once they are fully released ;)

That's reassuring, thanks. I was desperately looking for the SM951(NVMe) on MOnday onwards, and was gutted it was out of stock here, then this little announcement pops up and I was very very glad for the delay!

OFC the wait is delaying my whole build as I intend for it to be the boot drive, so I hope you're right about its availability!
 
Just noticed these on the store today the 950pro is £90 more than the sm951. Is that really worth it? the 5 year is nice but if the drive doesn't fail in the first few months they are usually good for a good stint aren't they? Much like mechanical drives I believe. Maybe a bit of initial fleecing and the price will come down?

Just noticed the sm951 comes in AHCI and NVMe. I didn't realise it came in AHCI, other than some IOPS gaines are there any other differences?

Nvme is the newer tech designed for m2 ssds, you will really only see faster results using benchmark software, personally I would go for the nvme ones
