I received my Dell Inspiron 16 Plus (7610) today, and I was pleasantly Surprised to see it had this Samsung PM9A1 installed; customer service had previously told be that even though it had a PCIe 4 Interface they were shipping with PCIe 3 Drives. Currenly I am replaceing Windows Home that came with it with Windows Enterprise, in a few days once I get everything setup, I will come back and post real performance data
