Interesting to note that the box describes the "Pin header on board for drive LED connection." Could make for some fun custom NVMe-only blinky light possibilities!įrom a few brief tests, so far, it does appear the speed of my C: drive matches my D: drive (identical 950 PRO, but installed in the Lytron PCI adapter). Be sure to sign up early, because hundreds typically attend his events -) You might even spot a familiar name among the presenters at xenappblog's upcoming virtual expo. This article and video, and my articles about the Intel 750 Series NVMe SSD, wouldn't have been possible without the temporary loan of a second Samsung 950 PRO and a second Supermicro SuperServer Bundle 2 by Trond Eirik Haavarstein aka Eric of Installing the Samsung 950 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD into a Lycom DT-120 M.2 PCIe adapter, then installing the assembly into the SuperServer. Of course, I'll be updating this article with the results, but the video of the installation is already available below.

You can also be sure I'll be recording video of those Windows 10 speed comparison tests, just as I did 2 days ago for the first M.2 unbox/install, and last night, for the Windows 10 boot from NVMe and speed testing. The included low-profile adapter bracket was also needed, so it could fit into my Supermicro SYS-5028D-TN4T system with that compact X10SDV-TLN4F motherboard. I did have to move the included stand-off to the 2280 size position, which is the most common length of M.2 these days. Installs in about 3 minutes, comes with the tiny Phillips head screw you need.

But you'll only get full speed if your PCIe slot is 3.0 x4 (4 lanes), a rarity until 2015's arrival of Intel's Xeon D-1540 and Skylake chipsets.
If your system doesn't have M.2 on board, you can add it as secondary (non-bootable) storage. If you're thinking about getting the world's fastest consumer SSD, note that the Samsung 950 PRO doesn't come in traditional 2.5" laptop form factor.
Available now on Amazon in 256GB and 512GB sizes, 1TB not expected until early next year.

As the box label says, "Transparent to the operating system and no driver required." For me, that'll be Windows 10 for baseline speed tests, then VMware ESXi 6 soon thereafter. That's where this simple adapter comes in.
Results - Comparison between motherboard and PCIe card speedsīut first, I had to get the 2nd M.2 device physically installed. Video - Installing the Samsung 950 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD into the adapterĢ. That means the speed should be roughly the same, regardless of where it's located. The Xeon D-1540 SoC platform has PCIe 3.0 by 4 lanes, for both the single PCIe slot, and the single M.2 socket. You know what's cooler than a Samsung 950 PRO? Posted by Paul Braren on (updated on Jan 26 2016) in
