Samsung XP941 512GB M.2 drive. Get your Pre-orders on now.

I have stock landing next week on these and have limited stock so get a Pre-order on now if you want one.

Samsung XP941 512GB M.2 PCI-e Gen2 SSD NAND based Solid State Drive (MZHPU512HCGL-00000) @ £309.98 inc VAT

Slim Package, Big Performance: The new Samsung XP941 M.2 PCIe SSD delivers a level of performance that easily surpasses the speed limit of a SATA 6Gb/s interface. With sequential data reads as high as an incredible 1,170MB/s (megabytes per second) on the 512GB model, the XP941 provides the highest possible performance available with a PCIe 2.0 interface

The new standard: The Samsung XP941 SSD in the new M.2 form factor is set to supersede the older mSATA format. Weighing in at just 8g, it's 1/5th the weight of a standard 2.5-inch SSD and takes up just 1/7th of the space.

Ultra green: Consuming just 80 mW of power when idle, and 5.8 W when fully active, the Samsung XP941 delivers longer battery life without sacrificing performance.

For desktops and laptops: The new M.2 SSD format (previously known as NGFF - New Generation Form Factor) is compatible with the latest generation netbooks and notebooks containing a PCIe M.2 socket, such as the new Sony Vaio Pro

PLEASE NOTE: THIS DRIVE IS NOT COMPATIBLE TO MACBOOK, MACBOOK PRO, MAC MINI OR IMAC. If you intend to purchase this product as an upgrade for an existing smaller drive, you should check if the existing drive is a Samsung XP941 or other M.2 PCIe SSD. If not sure please contact our customer service team at Overclockers.co.uk

Only £309.98 inc VAT.

Any news on some sweet 500GB SSD deals?

horrorwood · 27 Mar 2015 at 15:13

Is the title of this wrong?

I thought XP941 was old, are you getting SM951 at all?

trying to get Specs from Samsung can be a nightmare sometimes. You get bits and bobs from everywhere to make up a decent description for you guys.

I expected this kind of reply, keep us updated. Although I'm still waiting on a PCI-E 3 variant.

gradyhawks · 27 Mar 2015 at 16:54

Are there any 250gbs planned? £300 is a little TOO much for me.

LordBarrass · 27 Mar 2015 at 17:11

working on smaller sizes as well. but you will soon fill one of these up with the super fast read and write speeds.

One of the most important aspects that makes a PC feel more responsive is IOPS rather than throughput.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8006/samsung-ssd-xp941-review-the-pcie-era-is-here/7

Hence I opted to not use my 4 lane M.2 slot as the price premium is too high...

Why does the XP941 loose out at all to some Sata600 2.5" drives in any workload where Sata600 is not the limiting factor? Because it uses fewer NAND dies (dictated by the small form factor): SSD performance is influenced by accessing multiple dies in parallel.

Is your workload streaming masses of data very fast, or your laptop only has M.2, by all means this is a great drive... for most users... nope.
