TRIM Performance: While SSDs offer many benefits, there are some downsides to using flash memory. One of the biggest issues people run into is performance degradation. Over time, an SSD will run out of fresh blocks and will have to write over data the file system has marked as deleted.
Equipped with 3-bit 3D V-NAND; Available in 120GB; 250GB; 500GB and 1TB capacities; Features RAPID mode and TurboWrite technology; Excellent sequential read and write speeds under most conditions; Good random read performance; Performs equally well with compressible and incompressible data; Good...
Mediocre random write performance; RAPID mode is Windows only
The first SSD I used day to day in my main PC was the Intel X25-M and despite being an eye-watering $4.87 per gigabyte, the 80GB model was a bargain at $390 considering the SLC X25-E was selling for almost twice that in a miniscule 64GB capacity.
Highest capacity consumer SSD available; performance is consistent with and often a tad faster than the 500GB 850 Evo; pricing is fair
Fair doesn't mean inexpensive and if you're on a budget; two of Samsung's 1TB SSDs are a tad cheaper than one of the 2TB models
I was having issues and asked for the drive to be replaced. WD & Seagate have an advanced replacement where I give them a credit card, they ship me the replacement & I ship the old drive back. Samsung does not do this, this is their policy: We do Repair First procedure now.
I spent days (DAYS!) trying to get their software to create an image of my existing Win7 disk that were bootable. I failed and installed a clean OS. Still no boot. Finally moved it to the SATA2 ports on the MoBo. Booted! Moved it back to the SATA3 ports, no boot.
Samsung is a market leaders when it comes to SSD performance, and its flagship 850 Pro ratcheted the bar even higher. It offered stonking speed, and provided ample evidence that controlling the research, development and production of a drive provides the best results.
Consistent; fast read and write speeds; Cheaper than 850 Pro; Decent warranty
850 Pro drive is faster still; Lesser endurance rating; No extras included
The Samsung 850 EVO is the latest in its affordable line of performance SSDs and shows Samsung's desire to push the solid state game along, even at the lower end of the price/performance stack.
... is for those people who, like me, want to clone an HDD but are not sure how to go about it. It is not for the technologically minded amongst you who want to know the results of this or that benchmark test: I have no idea whether this drive is as fast as it is advertised or anything like that.
Just what the doctor ordered for my gaming laptop Lenovo Y50-70. The Crystal Disk Mark 5 and AS SSD scores are off the roof after enabling the RAPID and Over-provisioning function using Samsung Magacian (see attached pics). The SSD has catapulted the performance of my laptop.
It's been only a few short months since Samsung's 850 Pro delivered the company's long-lasting 32-bit 3D NAND to the high-end/corporate market.
3D NAND promise drive longevity; Good performance for the price
RAPID software creates a risk of data loss
