    You are comparing a pro to a consumer grade m2, ie apples and oranges.

      Sandisk Extreme (Pro) series SSDs are consumer SSDs. The Sandisk Extreme Pro m.2 SSDs are roughly in the same class as Samsung 960 m.2.
      I have had issues with both Samsung and Sandisk SSDs. One of my Samsung TLC SSDs died with minimal use. One of the old Sandisk Extreme SSDs I have has bad flash blocks and has started using the spare blocks within 1 year. In short, don't expect these consumer class SSDs to be super duper.

      Furthermore, don't get too excited with the quoted sequential read/write figures - those figures are for the SLC cache, rather than the actual MLC flash. The real sustained sequential read/write is around 550MB for both Samsung 960 and Sandisk Extreme Pro m.2. Random read/write generally matter more and you can actually feel the difference (you cannot cheat in random read/write, but you can easily trick/cheat customers with SLC cache on sequential read/write).

        But that's the 960 EVO, not the 960 Pro.

        Based on manufacturer numbers compared to the sandisk pro the evo has 200MB/s less sequential read (3400 vs 3200), 700MB/s less sequential write (2500 vs 1800), the same random read (330k iops) , 80k less random write (410k vs 330k) and less endurance/warranty (300TBW/5year vs 200TBW/3year).

        The sandisk certainly beats it on numbers but not by an earth shattering amount or anything close to an enterprise level.

        @hollykryten: Good point, didn't read properly. 960 Evo so the Sandisk Extreme Pro m.2 certainly beats it by a decent margin. 960 Evo's true sequential read/write is around 300MB/s.

        It's not only about speed numbers. What about NAND longevity.

        @hollykryten: what about NAND longevity, indeed… All this research on how long SSDs live for, and people still quote longevity as if they won't upgrade an SSD before it dies anyway
