  • Abstract:  Where are all the 2TB SSDs? It's a question we've been hearing since they started to go mainstream seven years ago. While we have seen a few come along on the enterprise side as far back as 2011 , those were prohibitively large, expensive, and out of reac...

  • Doubles the capacity of the previous highest model, Impressive overall performance highlighted by its best-of-class results in our mixed server workloads, Samsung pedigree with a 5-year warranty
  • Out-performed by its smaller capacity brothers in our real-world benchmarks, Significantly more expensive that a 2TB HDD
  • The Samsung 850 EVO 2TB drive is a fantastic addition to the company's line of consumer SSDs, offering the best of both worlds: market leading capacity and best-of-class performance.Samsung SSDs at AmazonDiscuss this reviewGA_googleFillSlot("sr_lower_728"...

  • The Samsung 850 EVO series will offer you the comfort of an increased number of cell write cycles, but not only that. The EVO model offers very strong SATA3 performance throughout all the tests we fired up on it. It's a little beast in terms of performan...

  • We don't think that anyone would expect a performance difference between the Samsung EVO/Pro 1TB SSD and the 2TB SSD, but that's the effect of most of us seeing flash technology increase at such a fast pace.I could be wrong but I believe that, up until th...

  • Equipped with 3-bit 3D V-NAND, Available in 120GB, 250GB, 500GB and 1TB capacities, Features RAPID mode and TurboWrite technology, Excellent sequential read and write speeds, Very good random read and write performance, Performs equally well with compress
  • RAPID mode is Windows only, 1TB drive uses more power than other capacities
  • Over the last few months, we've taken a look at a number of Samsung's 850 EVO series SSDs. Available in a variety of form factors and capacities, these drives offer a lot of bang for your buck. The 1TB version of the 2.5-inch 850 EVO is no exception. Powe...

  • Abstract:  When we reviewed Samsung's 850 EVO SSD last year, we commented on its remarkably compact internals. Although the drive comes in a standard 2.5" case, the underlying circuit board occupies a fraction of that footprint. It was only a matter of time before S...

  • Our problems with the Magician software aside, the 850 EVO performed just as Samsung claims and even better in some cases. While the 850 EVO 250 GB drive is very fast, upgrading probably won't appeal to enthusiast users who already own a newer, high-per...

  • Just as the Samsung 840 EVO series SSDs offered great performance at an affordable price, the new 850 EVO series continues on with that legacy. Currently available at Newegg for $189 , the 850 EVO 500 GB SSD is priced extremely well. For example, the Pa...

  • Abstract:  The latest solid-state drive being added to one of our Linux test farm systems is the Samsung 850 EVO. Prior to commissioning this drive in one of the systems, I ran some benchmarks against a few other solid-state drives while testing with the EXT4 file-s...
