Samsung SM951 512GB M.2 PCIe SSDs in RAID 0

Post by Apoptosis »

If our review yesterday on the Samsung SM951 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD was interesting, but you found yourself thinking that the first M.2 PCI Express 3.0 x4 storage drive just isn’t fast enough for you we have a real treat for you today. We managed to get our hands on another Samsung SM951 512GB Drive (part number MZ-HPV512) and slapped it on our Intel X99 desktop test system to make a dynamic RAID 0 array! A single Samsung SM951 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD is capable of 2150MB/s sequential read and 15000 MB/s sequential write speeds, so this setup could possibly get us up to 4300 MB/s sequential read and 3000 MB/s sequential write if all works as planned since we’d be running the SSDs in tandem. Read on to see just how fast we could get two of these M.2 PCIe 3.0x4 SSDs!

Good catch... I think that write speed was supposed to go with the read speed of this drive:

Does NVMe RAID 0 work as easily? Thanks.
