I've been looking at SSDs trying to figure out what I'm going to put in a new laptop I have coming soon. My main focus has been the Samsung 950 Pro, but am a bit turned off by its high $/GB (speed comes at a price, I suppose). I could afford it, but my main concern is I expect/fear that the price on it will fall in the not too distant future.
In a nutshell, I'm curious to know of anything in a M.2 2280 package either currently available or upcoming that might match the performance of the Samsung 950 Pro.
Edit: Anandtech's 2015 SSD Benchmark list doesn't seem to have anything near the 950 Pro except the oem-only SM951 (which is just as expensive as the 950s).
Edit 2: My fallback plan is to just do two 850 Pro/Evos in RAID and come in around half the throughput and 3x the latency, but for half the price. 850 Pro vs 950 Pro comparison here.
