Benchmarks: Storage
SSDs used to be fast. Now they're insane. The Samsung SM951 PCIe drive makes good use of the bandwidth-heavy M.2 slot and returns sequential read and write speeds of 1,573MB/s and 1,224MB/s, respectively. Staggering numbers from a single 256GB drive. Only one configuration is quicker in our line-up - the Scan X99 Nanu Carbon, which uses the same drive in an even-faster 512GB flavour.
