Didn't you had a 960 and it just died?

I had a 960 evo for 2 hours and mine died, got an rma and it's still going strong

Not just Optane, where's the Samsung 960 EVO & 960 PRO in your tests.

Don't have them... I rarely get SSD review samples.

"Record Size: 4Kb"
4 Kelvin-bits?

You forgot about Optane SSD in the benchmark.

Never heard of flashbench, interesting tool.

What's up with the standard deviation in some of the tests? (Or am I reading them wrong?)

What I understood from various scattered info, it's because TLC NAND uses 3 bits per cell (that's T in Triple Level Cell). So erase block size for such SSD should be divisible by 3 and some suggested that for Evo-s, it's 1536 KiB. And it's generally beneficial to align partitions according to the erase block size. Samsung though are notorious for dodging any questions about their erase block size.
