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...

In the past few years, Samsung has been the dominant force in SSD technology and with the introduction of the Samsung 850 EVO 4TB, Samsung continues their leadership in the space. While I don't see a whole lot of people dropping the significant amount of...
Best in class performance (even outperforms competing MLC parts!), Performance oddities seen in the 2TB model are not present in 4TB, Best SATA performance in our new Mixed Burst testing
As the SSD drum beats on, folks want higher and higher capacities. Samsung has answered the call with their 4TB 850 EVO. 48-layer V-NAND enables even higher densities, meaning the move from 2TB could be accomplished with the same die count and a bit more...
Doubles capacity of previous model, Improves upon already top-of-the-line performance of predecessors, 5-year Warranty
Early adopters will pay a premium
The Samsung 850 EVO 4TB is a rockstar mainstream consumer SSD with a huge capacity and stellar performance. While there's an early adopter price premium, no one else can match the performance/capacity profile Samsung has crafted with this SSD. ...

The largest consumer SSD, The fastest consumer SSD, Massive spare and SLC area, The best SATA SSD
Pricing, Low warrantied endurance rating
The Samsung 850 EVO 4TB is the best consumer SSD on the market. The drive delivers an amazing amount of performance that we haven't seen since the SanDisk Extreme Pro. Samsung needed a large amount of spare area to reclaim the performance lead, and th...

The Samsung 850 EVO line of SSDs have proven to be very fast, reliable, and quite popular over the past two years. With three different form factors, many firsts in their delivering consumers high capacity 3D NAND products, and now a new milestone under t...
We are happy to confirm that there is nothing to worry about with Samsung's mid-line swap of V-NAND in their 850 EVO line of SSDs. We are even happier to report that the new 48-layer TLC parts enable the 850 EVO to respond even faster to low queue depth I...
