ALL sata 3 SSDs should benchmark at 600MB/s or less, because 600MB/s is the maximum supported bandwidth throughput of SATA 6Gb/s

The 950 Pro (NVMe) uses PCIe x4, not SATA.

correct, i was replying to the sentence preceding source 2.

"Most SSDs benchmark at less than 600 MB/s[2]."

Which is why NVMe and M.2 are a thing now. SSDs have surpassed SATA (and in some cases, even SAS)

If you look at the post i was replying to, source two was a sata drive, and the claim was "most ssds cap out at 600MB/s"

of course they do, that is the theoretical limit of non pcie drives.
