"VERDICT
If I were to buy a new SSD for my notebook or desktop, it would be the SM961. I can't give any greater praise than that. The drive leads the high-performance NVMe race in the price to capacity ratio and delivers the performance goods, too. The only real issue is waiting for stock to replenish. Get in line early if you want excellent NVMe performance at 50 cents per gigabyte."

This device is described as "Samsung 1TB PM961 2280 PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe SSD - MZVLW1T0HMLH-00000"
According to a datasheet [mullet.se] only the -00007's have TCG Opal support. Guess I get to keep waiting for a 1TB 960 Evo deal.
I think I'll wait until mydigitalssd's 480gb drops in price to get on the NVME train.
I highly recommend that people hold out and buy the 900 series as these are OEM type things. You cannot update the firmware and there is no official support. They were great pre-900 series but i wouldnt touch em now unless they were dirt cheap.

are these known to fail? I use 951 for a while now and no issues.. and my prev 2.5" ssd was in raid for 4 years... no issue..

Cons
•Availability • Additional optimizations needed to increase light workload performance • No support for Samsung's Magician • Intel RST issues in RAID 0 on Z170 (Intel's Fault)
I thought most of the Samsung speed boosts where due to the Magician... that seems like a big enough deal breaker to me?

But what does it say about PM961 (not SM961).
