SeekerSamsung 970 Evo
Across the board the new 970 Evo is not only better than the 960 Evo, but it also out-performs the 960 PRO in some important tests. More IOPS, quicker writing and the same TBW at the largest capacity. With the possible exception of the 970 Pro; this is the NVMe SSD to buy… if you can afford it. If you already have a 960 Evo, though, there’s not a great deal of point in upgrading.
