Tom's publishes review of Samsung SP951

Early this morning Tom's Hardware published a technical review of the Lenovo OEM version of the Samsung SP951 M.2 3.0 x 4 ssd:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/samsung-sm951-m.2-pcie-ssd,4045.html

Four items of interest:

1. The article confirms that NVME support is delayed until the latter part of the year.

2. The author "suggests" Samsung might release another M.2 3.0x4 ssd later in the year. It "might" be one with NVME support and Samsung's new 3D V-nand flash memory.

3. Intel will be releasing their own M.2 ssd in the not too distant future.

4. There have been several press releases indicating more companies will offering M.2 ssd's later this year.

I have added SP951 to the ssd database. Here is the link:

Number 2 is probably the new 850 EVO M.2 SSD that they are going to release sometime this year. I called their SSD support and was asking about M.2 and they informed me they already have model codes for it.

He said that Samsung is going to release a 850 EVO M.2 version and M-SATA version. He also said they have the model codes, but currently do not have the specs yet.
