Top quality SSD. Perfect for a PC build to run your OS. Fantastic boot time with Windows 10

Replacing a hard drive, use an SSD. Increases your system performance by at least 3 times. The PRO model has a 10 year warranty, nothing else like that. If they are offering that type of warranty, you know they used the good stuff to build it.

I installed this drive in my new HP 15Z Laptop about 3 hours ago and have been using it ,testing it ,and this drive vs the 1tb spin drive installed in it from the factory is like daylight and dark difference both performance wise and battery usage wise. I highly recommend it to all.

fast; low power usage

Let's first step back a few years, to when SSDs first started to appear. They were very expensive, low capacity affairs. Sequential speeds were faster than HDDs, but not by much.

Nothing to mention

Today Samsung is unveiling their latest SSD and successor to the mighty 840 Pro. Named the 850 Pro it is not only faster than the 840 Pro and possibly the fastest SATA SSD money can buy, but more importantly it is also one of the most reliable thanks to its use of V-NAND flash memory.

Samsung recently introduced their 850 Pro SSDs, which are the first consumer-oriented SSDs based on 3D V-NAND. Do they allow Samsung to reclaim the performance crown?

It would be fair to say that the Samsung 840 Pro was one of the best SSDs we have tested. It offered class leading performance, good build quality, a decent software suite and a good warranty.

Samsung does not cease to amaze me with their SSDs as the 850 Pro just kills it in every aspect. The performance is there. The endurance is the best of the class. Heck, even Samsung's feature and software suites beat the competition by a mile.
