Samsung’s SSD follow a familiar pattern. The Pro version of the drive offers the best performance and specifications, but it’s accompanied by a breathtakingly high price.

The 960 Evo is an odd performer in many respects. In key benchmarks, it isn’t as quick as the 960 Pro, but Samsung’s TurboWrite technology actually helps the more affordable Evo beat its bigger brother in some file-writing tests.
