Insanely fast, but no eDrive or OPAL encryption yet 05/30/2016
This review is from: SAMSUNG 950 PRO M.2 2280 512GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V5P512BW
Pros:
I've installed it in my new Thinkpad T460s, and it's like you're just working from a ram disk - no lag from the disk whatsoever. Love the performance!
Cons:
Datasheets say that eDrive and OPAL will be supported in a future firmware release. The future hasn't arrived yet. So, sorry, lose 1 egg for promises not fulfilled. The only way to encrypt it is a hard drive password, and the T460s thinks it is an OPAL-compliant drive and won't allow me to set one.
