  • RAPID Technology, 3D VNAND, 5 year warranty, 6.8mm Height
  • Not much faster than an 840 EVO in some tests
  • The latest EVO drive from Samsung is likely to give any enthusiast PC a decent boost in terms of performance, especially if you are looking to make the leap from older mechanical drives. While it isn't quite as fast as the 850 Pro and only slightly faster...

  • Performance delta between 850 Evo and 840 Evo is small, Score, 8 / 10
  • While the Samsung 850 Evo proved both dependable and powerful across our battery of tests, I can't help but be disappointed. I had expected a greater increase in performance from the new 3D NAND arrangement, instead of what amounts to marginal updates and...

  • Abstract:  When the enthusiast PC market began moving from performance mechanical hard drives to solid state storage it wasn't the traditional players who saw the greatest success. The likes of Western Digital, Hitachi etc all saw memory manufacturers step in and co...

  • – 5 year warranty, Mediocre:, The technology is “top end” but limited by the SATA3 (6GB/s) interface
  • Bit too expensive to “compete” with other brands, – Not much of a jump “if any” from the original 840 EVO
  • Specifically today, I will be taking a look at the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB drive which is the sweet spot in my opinion for an operating system with enough room for programmes/applications as well as a couple of games.  The 850 EVO features Samsung's 32 laye...

  • One of the strongest performing consumer SSDs out there. Looks the part, and performs comparably to current prosumer SSDs, albeit in a consumer price bracket. We highly recommend this for anyone looking for the best price to perfomance ratio!

  • Build Quality / Endurance (150TBW / 1 Million Hours MTBF), Excellent Overall Performance, Features (TurboWrite/RAPID Mode/eDrive Support), Samsung Magician Software, 5 Year Warranty, Available In 1TB,  ,
  • Price (For Some),
  • After we reviewed the 850 Pro 512GB model and heard that Samsung would also send us the 850 EVO 500GB we thought that there would be a sufficient performance gap between those two to "justify" both the different target areas and the differen...

  • The best TLC-based SATA SSD available, but it can't justify its high price premium

  • There are few options for a decent 120GB class SSD in today's market. For the most part, modern NAND flash chips have simply outgrown this market segment. Entry-level drives are almost always based on TLC NAND, and that means relatively few high-capacity...

  • Samsung SATA (high) performance, Low cost, Support for Magician and Rapid Mode
  • Limited availability, Single and low capacity (at the time of writing), Reduced warranty compared to 850 EVO
  • The 850 only has a three-year warranty, so it's downstream from the 850 EVO, but that doesn't mean it's a replacement for the 650 or 750 EVO. The 850's performance is very high for the 128GB-class, but that's standard issue for Samsung SSDs. N/A -...

  • Gigantic capacity, Relatively affordable (given its size), Excellent performance for a SATA drive,
  • You may need a loan to buy one, Slower than previous model in certain minor test scenarios
  • Today's biggest-capacity consumer SSD, the 4TB version of the venerable 850 EVO packs the same speed and delivers the same strengths as Samsung's earlier models, but the price is quite dear...
