Expensive enthusiast product
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.
Abstract: When the enthusiast PC market began moving from performance mechanical hard drives to solid state storage it wasn't the traditional players who saw the greatest success. The likes of Western Digital, Hitachi etc all saw memory manufacturers step in and co...
– 5 year warranty, Mediocre:, The technology is “top end” but limited by the SATA3 (6GB/s) interface
Bit too expensive to “compete” with other brands, – Not much of a jump “if any” from the original 840 EVO
Specifically today, I will be taking a look at the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB drive which is the sweet spot in my opinion for an operating system with enough room for programmes/applications as well as a couple of games. The 850 EVO features Samsung's 32 laye...

One of the strongest performing consumer SSDs out there. Looks the part, and performs comparably to current prosumer SSDs, albeit in a consumer price bracket. We highly recommend this for anyone looking for the best price to perfomance ratio!

Abstract: If you have a good thing, it's natural to want to keep it going. And that's exactly what Samsung has done with the 4TB version of its SSD 850 EVO ($1,499). Samsung introduced the SSD 850 EVO family in 2014, and its solid-state drives (SSDs) have been favo...
Simple look, Serious performance, 5 year warranty vouch for the reliability of the TLC V-NAND technology
Still commands a premium pricing
The Samsung 850 EVO family may not be offer the best value per GB out there, but looking at the performance figures, this is definitely the drive to get if you want snappy performance without moving up the ranks to a PCIe NVMe SSD. The cheapest Samsung 85...

No accessories, Higher price, Write performance suffers with increasing queue depth
Samsung is a true giant in the SSD market and is currently the only brand that designs and manufactures all aspects of a drive - controller, NAND and firmware. Only Toshiba, with the acquisition of OCZ, comes close, but they have yet to fully take advanta...

Diseño atractivo, Calidad de construcción, Precio (para los tamaños de 120, 250 y 500GB), Rendimiento muy bueno en toda la gama, Durabilidad superior a otras unidades TLC, Excelente consumo y temperaturas, Software muy completo
Precio de los modelos de 1 TB y superiores
Está claro que la fama que el fabricante coreano ha adquirido en el mercado del almacenamiento SSD es más que merecida, como así lo demuestran los numerosos test mostrados, con resultados que encabezan todas las gráficas y que superan a veces incluso a un...
