The Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol has replaced AHCI improving the user experience as it reduces latency. It combine the company's high-speed V-NAND memory with PCI Express 3.0 x4 connection in the M.2 2280 form factor coupled with the NVMe protocol.Samsung says that a 1TB model will launch early in 2016, and will employ Samsung's 48-layer MLC V-NAND
The 950 Pro is available in two capacities: 256 and 512 GB. . The 512 GB drive can read at up to 2,500MB/sec and write at 1,500MB/sec, while the 256 GB drive can read at 2,200MB/sec and write at 900MB/sec. Both capacities employ the M.2 2280 form factor.
