When it works it's good. Next time a different brand.

Fast; lots of storage

Stops responding every once in a while requiring a reboot Very bad firmware support search samsung 850 pro firmware if you want to see for yourself..

I have purchased quite a few hard ssds and always come back to Samsung. magician and transfer software works first time and no bugs left behind after the swap. Cant see how you could improve on this one. Off the scale performance on a i7 processor

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

We didn't spend a lot of time talking about the 3D V-NAND in this article or RAPID Mode. We just published a very detailed V-NAND whitepaper and RAPID Mode was discussed in detail in our initial reviews . The 850 Pro is a complicated product made easy by its performance.

It may have taken just a tad longer for SATA solid state drives (SSDs) to finally hit the performance wall specified by the SATA III standard but the fact that we are here means that PCIex solutions will soon cease to be the only ones capable for read/write speeds exceeding 1000MB/s and although for...
