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
Outstanding 566/537 MBps read/write speed with ATTO, Random 4K read/writes produced 94,985 IOPS – best tested!, 32layer 3D VNAND Flash delivers double the endurance, Native write acceleration – no compression used, Samsung 3core MEX controller supports TR
Expensive enthusiast product
Our first rating is performance, which compares how effective the Samsung SSD 850 PRO performs in benchmark operations against competing SATA-based solid state drive storage solutions. For reference, Samsung specifications suggest 550 MB/s maximum reads...

Samsung has stepped well in front of their competition by introducing the newest 850 Pro SSD with their newest 3D V-NAND architecture. Unbelivable endurance, greater performance, higher density and a 10 year warranty make this an easy SSD purchase decisi...

Now that the prices of SSDs are starting to fall again, the competition is starting to take off again. Especially the new models from Crucial and Samsung bring some life back to the business, which was badly needed in this market. Last year there were few...
Abstract: Form factor is the shape and connection type used to hook up the SSD to your computer. There are two main physical shapes on the market: the traditional 2.5in drive, which is direct drop-in replacement for a hard drive, and the M.2 format. This latter typ...

You can consider yourself lucky if you purchased an SSD last year. Since then not a lot has happened when it comes to the performance, while the prices have gone up. However, using a hard drive as boot disk is not necessary at all - there are more than en...
Abstract: Solid-state storage is standard-issue for storing data in tablets and smartphones, where it's relied upon for its tiny size and rugged nature. Those same virtues can be handy in desktop PCs and especially laptops too, but it's the speed of an SSD (solid-s...
According to our tests, the Samsung SM951 (NVMe) is the fastest SSD available. It is even faster than the 950 Pro, while it is a lot cheaper as well. Bear in mind that you miss out on official Samsung support in the form of warranty, Magician and firmware...
First of all the best middleclass SSD that you can use. Based on the performance and the good price the Sandisk Ultra II 480GB is the best choice. The Sandisk performs nearly as well as the fastest SATA600-drives in the test, but for a much lower price...
The number of SSDs with a capacity of 1 TB is still relatively small. There are much more 500 GB SSDs available. Nevertheless you can find some interesting models. On top of this list we find the Sandisk Ultra II 960GB, because of its very wallet-frien...
Huge, hard disk-style capacity, Excellent performance levels, Lengthy warranty and endurance
No quicker than 850 Evo 2TB, Pricier than 850 Evo 2TB, No extras included
The Samsung 850 Pro combines impressive performance levels with the market's best endurance rating and warranty. But if you don't require that level of protection, then the 2TB 850 Evo offers equivalent performance for less...
