No accessories, Much more expensive than competing SSDs
With brand-new 3D V-NAND in tow, the Samsung 850 Pro Series has achieved the difficult feat of slightly outperforming its predecessor, which makes it one of the fastest SSDs on the market. But fast reads and writes aren't all it offers. It also has two he...

The combination of Samsung's existing MEX controller, the new firmware, and the second generation of 3D V-NAND ensure that the Samsung 850 Pro SSDs are clearly the fastest Serial ATA 600 based SSDs in the world. The SSDs achieve excellent scores in all ...
From what we've seen, the Samsung 850 is one of the fastest and most powerful SSDs on the market. Simply by going vertical, Samsung has found in 3D V-NAND an opening to much higher solid state drive capacity. In other words, this could be the enabler for...

Having had the pleasure to be given the opportunity to try out the new Samsung 850 Pro at least a week or two before release, I had a good chance to have a play around, test and use it on a daily basis prior to writing this conclusion. The big question r...
The SSD 850 PRO is yet another fantastic entry into the SSD market from Samsung. With the limits of the SATA interface quickly being reached now, it's harder to tease out the performance differences between drives. Even so, the SSD 850 PRO is class-leadin...

Empty: Very expensive; not as fast as PCIe solutions; SATA is limiting
Samsungs 2TB 850 Pro offers the most capacity youll currently find in a 2.5-inch SATA drive, but its upstaged by the bang-for-the-buck of its 850 Evo sibling...
