Ok... Something wrong with mine. I never hear any sound from my new system.

Tonite will check if the fans are actually spinning.

HI guys,

I need help. I fail to enable the Samsung OS optimization... How can I enable it?

I also fail to enable RAPID mode...

Please help. I think my booting time still exceed 5 seconds...

Thanks for all the information.

Possible to be less than 5 seconds... It would be really nice.

If it is not possible, what is the bottleneck? I/O speed again? What if I buy another Samsung Pro 950 and RAID 0 them to double the bandwidth? Will it be using 8x PCIe? Or sharing the same 4x PCIe? Is i7 fast enough to software RAID them?

Sorry for so many question as really newbies in SSD...

Sad.. I measure from the boot time where my Gigabyte logo gone until saw desktop. It took 12 seconds.. really disappointed.

Is it normal with Windows 10 home? Or because I installed application issue? Or Norton Anti-virus issue?

I had downloaded Samsung software and confirm reading speed exceed 2.2GB/s and reading exceed 900MB/s. Thus I am confused

Do hope the expert can advise... Possible need defragmentation on C?

Now my new desktop is finally with acceptable boot up time...

New problem... I found both my phone and tablet boot up time is double of my deskstop...

Yeah... No need to demand too mush. As long as acceptable performance then should be satisfied. Understood...

Yeah... After getting new desktop with the excellent Samsung 950 Pro, I was having problem using my Asus ultrabook. End up today also change the laptop HDD into SSD. I can feel the speed at least doubled up.

Anyway, maybe because my laptop SSD is still SATA3 based, it still lost to my desktop 950 Pro noticeable...

I forgot to install the Samsung NVMe driver... hahaha ONce installed, performance siok

My ultrabook now also with latest SATA SSD.

IMO, PCIe SSD might be 4 to 5x faster, but practically is less than 2x faster due to limited in other components such as CPU etc. When we are using 5x faster SSD such as PCIe, Our CPU is not 5x faster.

If our CPU and other component is infinity speed, then we should experience lots of differences.

Am I happy with my Samsung PCIe 950 Pro? Yes and No.

Yes - I love its performance. Even in the future there are drive 2x faster than my Samsung, actual performance improvement should be little due to other limitation.

No - I regretted having bought 256GB version. Should had bought 512GB. Why? When you found out the performance is so great, you tends to open your eyes and imagination... And with new usages... It will translated into additional capacity required.

few time faster than my Samsung tablet and phone and android box boot up time...

Now I hate my Android...

Last time I always sleep my computer or turn on my computer earlier if I have to use it. Now no more worry on bootup speed.

Anyway, PCIe 4.0 is coming... Will it double up the read/write speed? And further cut down the boot up time?

Do note that most android phone only took 30 seconds to boot.

IMO, anything slower than handphone is.... hahahaha... unacceptable...
