The editors didn't like
Comparatively slow 128GB version
Strong mid-range competitors
Expensive price
Especially for 512GB
Insanely expensive
Outpaced by M.2 drives
Limited appeal outside of laptops
The drive is expensive compared with competing solid-state drives. The Samsung Magician software only works with Windows

Samsung has made some nice improvements over the 840 PRO drives, helped along with modified firmware and their proprietary high density 32-layer 3D V-NAND. Performance is pretty even across all capacities with the 128GB drive just a little slower than the...

The Samsung 850 Pro is the highest performing SATA 6Gb/s SSD we have reviewed to date. Packed with new innovative 3D V-NAND, full encryption support, and backed by an industry leading 10 year warranty, it is definitely worth a look!...
Back when the Samsung 840 PRO was released in 2012, I really didn't really think Samsung would release another SATA based drive as its successor. At the time, the Samsung 840 PRO was already clearly hitting the limits of the SATA interface, and there wasn...

The all-encompassing brilliance of Samsung's 850 Pro is muted somewhat by the fact that SATA 6Gb/s is restrictive. The 850 Pro works within the interface's constraints, though. It's well-rounded and fast, no doubt. But most of the SSDs we've reviewed late...

Strong Performance, High Endurance, Long Warranty
Somewhat Pricey, No Power Loss Protection
The Samsung SSD 850 PRO Series -- Find Them At Amazon.ComLooking back through the benchmarks, it's clear that Samsung's new SSD 850 PRO series is a winner in terms of performance. The drives led the pack almost across the board, which is quite impressive ...

Samsung says the 850 Pro is the fastest, most reliable SATA SSD available and we'll buy that line until we test the SanDisk Extreme Pro or experience a failure.
It certainly isn't the best value considering its premium over the Extreme Pro and availability of drives like the Crucial MX100. RAPID isn't as useful as you may think.
Before we weigh in with our final verdict, we'll bust out a few of our famous value scatter plots. The best solutions will gravitate toward the upper left corner of the plot, which signifies high performance and low prices. Click the buttons below the pl...
Outstanding performance, Excellent fragmentation resiliency, 10 Year Warranty (yeah, I said it)
Hard to come up with one, but I'd really like to see this V-NAND doing the TLC/SLC trick that the EVO series does. Samsung tells me this is absolutely doable, which likely makes this con into a pro, Intro price of smaller capacity units is a bit on the hi
