Pricing
Low warrantied endurance rating

Abstract: While manufacturers have announced larger capacity SSDs (2TB and more), for storing a lot of files, a mechanical HDD is still a much more affordable option. This looks set to change in the future though, as SSD production volume increases lead to lower pr...

In the chart above, we see a reduced scale latency test result from PCMark 8. In the test, the 850 EVO comes very close to the total latency of the industry leading SanDisk Extreme PRO 240GB without RAPID Mode enabled. With RAPID enabled, the 850 EVO dro...

Samsung's new 850 EVO has many highlights. At the MSRP, the 850 EVO is the new face of mainstream SSDs, and few companies will be able to compete. It's difficult to even call the new EVO a mainstream SSD since the performance, endurance, and warranty are...

Abstract: If you have a good thing, it's natural to want to keep it going. And that's exactly what Samsung has done with the 4TB version of its SSD 850 EVO ($1,499). Samsung introduced the SSD 850 EVO family in 2014, and its solid-state drives (SSDs) have been favo...
Simple look, Serious performance, 5 year warranty vouch for the reliability of the TLC V-NAND technology
Still commands a premium pricing
The Samsung 850 EVO family may not be offer the best value per GB out there, but looking at the performance figures, this is definitely the drive to get if you want snappy performance without moving up the ranks to a PCIe NVMe SSD. The cheapest Samsung 85...

No accessories, Higher price, Write performance suffers with increasing queue depth
Samsung is a true giant in the SSD market and is currently the only brand that designs and manufactures all aspects of a drive - controller, NAND and firmware. Only Toshiba, with the acquisition of OCZ, comes close, but they have yet to fully take advanta...

Diseño atractivo, Calidad de construcción, Precio (para los tamaños de 120, 250 y 500GB), Rendimiento muy bueno en toda la gama, Durabilidad superior a otras unidades TLC, Excelente consumo y temperaturas, Software muy completo
Precio de los modelos de 1 TB y superiores
Está claro que la fama que el fabricante coreano ha adquirido en el mercado del almacenamiento SSD es más que merecida, como así lo demuestran los numerosos test mostrados, con resultados que encabezan todas las gráficas y que superan a veces incluso a un...
