Screen shot below. The Sequential Read / Write are within spec. The problem is that the Random Read (IOPS) benchmarked at 185,000 out of expected 300,000. The Random Write benchmarked at 93,000 out of 110,000.

I dropped the new 950 pro on the floor when opening the packaging. The SSD appeared undamaged but I wonder if incident is related to performance numbers.
FYI: The Intel 750 AIC 800 GB is my existing system storage.
Today I received and physically installed the Samsung 950 Pro 500 GB (M.2) on my Asus Sabertooth X99 MB.
Updated BIOS ver from 1802 to 2002
Installed Microsoft hotfix "Update to add native driver support in NVM Express in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2"
Using Samsung Migration utility, I cloned from source (Intel 750) to destination (Samsung 950 Pro)
Installed Samsung NVMExpress Driver rev 10 (I probably should have installed this BEFORE cloning for faster transfer times, but live and learn).
Installed Samsung Magician utility. Verified that firmware was latest.
Tested using performance benchmark (results above and in imgur image).
Ran Performance Optimization.
Re-tested using performance benchmark (results unchanged).
