BEST INTERNAL SSD (PREMIUM)

If Samsung wasn’t so far ahead of most other SSD makers, you could probably accuse the company of resting on its laurels: this NVMe PCIe drive was released in late 2016, but it still riles the roost, with read speeds of over 3,000MB/s and writes approaching 2,000MB/s. It uses Samsung’s own Polaris controller chip, which helped deliver a 40% speed increase on top of the previous-gen 950 Pro drives. If you need the fastest consumer SSD money can buy, you can’t go wrong with a 960 Pro.
