The editors didn't like
TLC NAND Durability (Not for Industrial/Enterprise Use)
New NAND tech may face some adoption headwinds
Mediocre random write performance
RAPID mode is Windows only
Nothing really to mention.
If pushed very hard
The writing performance does drop off a bit.
Its triple-level-cell (TLC) NAND isn't suitable for all workloads or scenarios
The drive carries a 5-year warranty instead of the 10 years the Pro model offers. The Samsung Magician software only works with Windows
TLC NAND longevity is rated lower than MLC chips' in other drives
Won't help the Jaguars win the Superbowl
Nothing to mention.
Only threeyear warranty
Honestly
Not much. RAPID caching occupies up to a gig of system memory (for a good reason)
And it's not as affordable as the Crucial M500 but you can't have it all.

They say wine gets better with age. I don't know much about that, but as Samsung tinkers with the underlying code over time, the 840 EVO gets better. The 840 EVO drives we've tested and used in our own systems have all performed very well under normal d...

Page 1 [Introduction] Last week Samsung held their 2013 SSD Global Summit and invited roughly 150 technology journalists along for the ride. We posted several videos from the conference in our news, but we couldn't publish everything. Although severa...
Excellent performance, 930GB of usable storage, 4K random write figure very impressive, Good price
RAPID mode did not offer a performance boost
Regardless of the EVO's software bundle offering though, the performance of the hardware on its own is enough for us to be rather excited about the new range. As well as the new drive capacities (debuting 750GB and 1TB drives) and the aggressive pricing ...
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...

Coming in at £126.99 it sits nicely between the budget 240GB and more performance orientated drives out there, a very competitive price point. Styling was a little off-putting at first glance, after sometime to play around,It grew on me. The Samsung EVO i...

Speedy performance, Good, value, Five, year warranty
Not a huge generational leap, Definitely consumer, class SSD
The Samsung 850 EVO is another quality, affordable SSD from a company cementing its place as one of the giants of the solid state industry. This 500GB version delivers in the performance stakes, but so do the other, lower-capacity drives too. The benefit...
