  Or pay about $10 more and get this Crucial, locally with local warranty?

    Sure, it will depend on your preference.

    To me, Amazon's service is great and Samsung EVO series is among the best in the SSD market. This model only has one real threat in terms of performance, the Samsung EVO PRO, from the same company though.

  Pity the 950 Pro isn't out yet, and the SM951 is quite expensive.

    claud0902 on 15/10/2015 - 18:13

    I think the 950 Pro is M.2 only atm and is still not available?

    • 

      bargainperson on 15/10/2015 - 19:43

      Correct. I'm keen for the 950 M.2 and it should be out this month.

  isn't it a terrible waste of an SSD when we use it as a portable hard drive?

  • 

    claud0902 on 15/10/2015 - 19:28

    No. But you have to have a "full SSD" environment to take the advantage of the fast speed.

    if you copy from a PC with its data in HDD, normally your portable SSD will not be utilized to its full speed. The reason is the HDD has a limited read speed various by its RPM (5400/7200) as well as sata setup (RAID)

    For example if you are copying a large file from a 5400RPM HDD to your portable SSD, the speed could be limited to only 80MB/s, far less than your SSD's 500+MB/s capability. And if you simply use a portable HDD to do the same task, you might end up seeing similar transfer speed.
