# Miniature Computer Drives The Samsung 950 Pro is an Impossibly Small Solid State Drive By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2015-09-30 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-950-pro References: [damngeeky](http://www.damngeeky.com/2015/09/23/35506/samsung-950-pro-first-consumer-v-nand-ssd-for-fastest-pcs-tomorrow.html) & [samsung](http://samsung.com) Solid state drives (SSD) are the way to go when it comes to mobile (or even desktop, for some) computing, and the [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-smartssd) 950 Pro is set to improve on the technology like never before. Featuring an [impossibly small size](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planck-ssd), the Samsung 950 Pro is designed to be future-ready rather than just suitable for today's computing needs. The Samsung 950 Pro 512GB model features an impressive read speed of 2,500 MB/s and a write speed of 1,500 MB/s; that's almost 4.5 times faster for reading and 2.5 times faster for writing than traditional SATA SSDs. Coming available in October, the Samsung 950 Pro is perfect for [mobile computers or workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexar-es3) that require faster functionality without sacrificing a single detail. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Increased Integration of SSD:** A trend towards ever more powerful solid-state drives is likely to continue. - **Miniaturization of Computing Components:** Improvements in computing power are increasingly being driven by not only software but also hardware that must become smaller and smaller. - **Higher Demand for Future Ready Products:** As technology continues to evolve rapidly, consumers and businesses are increasingly looking for products that will continue to be useful and relevant for years to come. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry is likely to be impacted by increasing demand for portable, high-performance computing devices, as well as demand for future-ready components. - **Business Computing:** Businesses seeking to stay competitive will need to invest in hardware that can keep up with ever-increasing computing demands. - **Cloud Computing Infrastructure:** As cloud computing continues to grow in importance, the demand for powerful, scalable hardware in datacenters is expected to increase, driving innovation in the solid-state drive industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Performance Data Storage Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-smartssd.md) - [High-Speed Efficient SSDs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pm9e1-gen-5-ssd.md) - [Hyper-Fast Data Transmission SSDs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-portable-ssd-t9.md) - [Industry-leading Storage Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mp700-pro-se.md) - [High-Capacity Portable SSDs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crucial-x9-pro-2tb-ssd.md) - [Heatsink-Equipped Internal SSDs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-980-pro.md) - [Versatile Storage Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/990-evo-ssd.md) - [Ergonomic High-Capacity Storage Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-t5-evo.md) - [Ultra-Compact Portable SSDs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-compact-ssd.md)
