@100PIER:
Since I recently got my ordered Samsung 960 EVO SSDs (2 x 250 GB), I would rather like to know, whether your Samsung 960 EVO issues have been solved by the new Firmware.
How did you flash the new Firmware?

@Fernando,
1) The only valid method to update the 960 EVO firmware is the '.iso' method: https://www.touslesdrivers.com/index.php...23&v_code=52296
You have to build from the Samsung .iso file Firmware Update Tool (v3.1) a USB 2 stick via RUFUS to get a bootable Linux media (only working when CSM enabled).
The tool does detect the current firmware version and propose to update it. The update does take only few seconds. (2 or 3s)
2) As reported in my previous posts the new firmware does offer a little less performance than with the original version.
3) About the "unsafe shutdowns" problem I don't think this firmware version does fix it. Samsung is working on the problem.
4) If you look at SSD Review the last bench done with "MyDigitalSSD BPX M.2 NVMe 480GB" device are quite similar to 960 EVO , however the CDInfo screenshot of this non Samsung NVMe manufacturer does display also the 'unsafe shutdowns' problem !

There was no need to flash the new Firmware into my 250 GB Samsung 960 EVO SSDs, because they contained already the latest.
Here are some benchmark results I got after a fresh install of Win10 x64 onto one of them and trying different NVMe drivers:
1. MS NVMe driver:

2. Samsung NVMe driver v2.1.0.1611:

Zitat von 100PIER im Beitrag #69
This score becomes the reference for RAID0 mode NVMe boot solution.

And the price for the 2 NVMe SSDs bundle was less than 200 Euro!

@ all: @100PIER: @plutomaniac: @GrofLuigi: @DioExtreme: @Iken:

Finally I was able to get my recently done benchmark comparison tests into the start post of this old thread without losing any important data. The old start post (last updated in December 2015) is now the second post of this unified thread. So it will be very easy to compare the related results. Furthermore there is no need anymore for the storage of 2 different threads with nearly the same content.
Only disadvantages of my efforts to solve the related problems:

The "Thanks" given by plutomaniac, GrofLuigi, DioExtreme, Iken and 100PIER got lost (but can be renewed).
Unfortunately I had to delete 100PIER's first reply to my old start post written in July 2015, but the related post didn't contain any benchmark results or important informations. I hope, that he pardons me this action.

Since the recent discussion with plutomaniac about how to manage the insertion of the new test results into the start post of the old thread has become superfluous, I have removed the related posts.

New Start Post
Changelog:

new: the complete text
new: all benchmark results

@Fernando,
It is fully OK on my side.
I propose hereafter 5 updated SSDs tests:

1) A comparative test with Samsung NVMe 960 PRO 1TB (non OS).
Before Driver/Firmware updates:

After Diver/Firmware updates:

2) A SATA RAID 0 with Samsung 850 PRO 2TB.

3) A SATA RAID 0 with Samsung 840 PRO 768GB.

4) A SATA RAID 0 with Samsung 850 EVO 1TB

5) A comparative test with Samsung NVMe 960 EVO 500GB.
on Z77:

on X99:

Hi Fernando!
thanks to this great forum,
i have booted from
- Intel P3700 Nmve 2 years ago
- Samsung 960 Pro 1 years ago

on my old but performace Asus Sabertooth x79 + 3930k @4,4GHZ.

Today Intel Optane 900d comes out and of course this is the new challenge!!

What do you think?
Will we win the challenge to survive X79 platform again? :D

PS: here is how Optane crash 960 pro

@imsims:
Thanks for your already posted and for the announcment of future benchmark tests while running an Intel� Optane� SSD 900P Series SSD.
Since your report better match the Sub-Forum "System Performance" than the "BIOS Modding" one, I have moved the related 2 posts into this already existing thread.
If this should not be ok for you, please let me know it via PM.

just got hold of a PM981 and must say it does perform quite well...

edit: with Samsung driver it performs even better!

Thanks for having published your outstanding benchmark results.
