Review: Excellent product! I could not be more pleased! - I just built a computer for the first time! The items I purchased for the build: Phanteks EVOLV ATX Mid Tower in Antracite Gray / EVGA 700 B1, 80+ BRONZE 700W Power Supply / Intel Core I7 6700K CPU, Samsung 950 Pro 256GB M.2 Internal SSD / Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 Motherboard / Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4 2400 RAM in White / Gigabyte AMD R7 360 GPU / Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler / TP-LINK N900 2.4GHz or 5GHz WI-FI Card. I am thrilled with my new build! Everything works well together and it was all plug and play. I did not have to make any kind of adjustments in the BIOS. I was so worried that I was going to have issues with the SSD not being recognized as a boot device (after reading various forums regarding NVMe - M.2 SSD's and this particular motherboard) and that major BIOS tweaks were going to be needed. That was simply not the case at all. As soon as I booted the computer for the first time and went to install Windows 10 Professional, the SSD was recognized and Windows installed perfectly. So the issues I was concerned with turned out to have nothing to do with my build. I think those issues have to do with using more than one M.2 SSD or other types of SSD's or hard drives in conjunction with each other. Then RAID becomes a factor. But in my case this was not an issue. My new computer is faster than any computer I have ever had! Boot time for a cold boot or restart is around 6 to 10-seconds. Things that took a half an hour or more to copy to the hard drive, like my music and video files from a backup drive, took less than 5-minutes on this SSD. All my programs open instantly. I know that SSD's are supposed to make things much faster than the old mechanical hard drives, but this was so much more than I expected.
Review: Awesome fast - This drive is awesome FAST. Boot time 3 seconds. Now, that does need some clarification. When I first start my computer, from a cold start. The mother board comes online. Then it goes through the ‘boot order’ to see if there are any CD, or USB to boot from. Then the overclock cycle. I have an ASUS Maximus hero board, and it overclocks automatically. It will test your current configuration and overclock to the best STABLE frequency available. THEN windows, begins to load. A little circle, indicates load is in progress. That is where the 3 seconds start. The total time, for me, is more like 45 seconds. But IF, I turn off those features I mentioned. Then, I would have the 3 seconds. Or, maybe, you already have a, more, to the point, kind of setup. Those, extra seconds for those, boot up procedure, are important to me. But the point remains. From the windows load time, until me having my pointer. Is 3 seconds. Awesome fast. Now, the part you might not like, but you still need to know. Compatibility. When I, got this drive, which was, on release day. No backup software, could recognize the drive as being there. Now even the backup, that is part of windows, control panel>>file history>>system image. Then I went a browsing for a better image software. But, thank God, most people had a free sample to try and decide. But they all failed to, ‘see’, the new drive. And yes, I formatted it, and assigned it a logical letter. I even installed windows to it, a fresh. I did finally find ONE that worked. And it worked good, so I bought it. It’s called EaseUS backup. I got the 256 gig drive. But, as I put my libraries on a drive of their own. It is way bigger than I need. From the charts, performance gets better with a bigger drive. So even though I only use 50 of those 256 gigs. I am still glad I got the extra space. I can’t predict what I will need this drive for when it has served its current use. I do know I have thrown away a lot of little, useless, drives. And, I would like to be able to give this, as a gift, when I upgrade.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Great performer, but not worth the cost.
*by V***P on January 14, 2016*

Pretty much not worth the price in my opinion. Yes it's blazingly fast on transfers, but in typical usage (office, browsing, media, gaming, photo editing) I have not noticed any improvement over my Samsung 850 EVO for more than twice the price. When the tech matures, support improves, and prices come down, this will be well worth the cost, I'm sure.
