Late deliver

Product was easy to install worked fine for a little over a month and then just stopped working. No warning signs nothing and just would work wasn't able to boot up anymore.

Samsung's new 850 Pro line of SSDs are easily the fastest on the market at the time of publishing. They offer all the newest features in one single package. Samsung's 3D V-NANA, RAPID Mode, and the huge 150TBW make this drive stand out from the crown.

As an operating system drive, the Samsung 850 Pro 1000GB SSD is pretty hard to fault. Performance is outstanding and the SSD proved to be very stable during the testing period. The new 3D V-NAND is a huge step in the right direction in my opinion.

Nothing to mention

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?

We've seen many solid state drives over the past few years, some memorable and some forgettable. But it's rather rare to see new technologies emerge that push the boundaries of performance, features, and even pricing.

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.

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.
