The Samsung SSD 850 Pro has fast performance
High endurance -- you can write a lot of data to it before it becomes unreliable -- and its 2TB capacity is the highest on the market. The drive comes with a lot of useful features
Including encryption
And a
Silky smooth operation as a system drive
Outstanding sequential reading and writing performance
Even at very low queue depths
Outstanding 4K random writing performance
At low queue depths
Outstanding 4k random reading performance at very low
And
Super fast

Tons of capacity
Good performance
Great endurance and warranty
SATA is ubiquitous.

SATA is ubiquitous
Samsung says the 850 Pro is the fastest
Most reliable SATA SSD available and we'll buy that line until we test the SanDisk Extreme Pro or experience a failure.
The editors didn't like
Price premium
Somewhat Pricey
No Power Loss Protection
Hard to come up with one
But I'd really like to see this V-NAND doing the TLC/SLC trick that the EVO series does. Samsung tells me this is absolutely doable
Which likely makes this con into a pro
Intro price of smaller capacity units is a bit on the hi
RAPID mode is Windows only
Pricey
Price (For Some)
Much more expensive than a 2TB HDD
Expensive compared to mainstream SSDs that are nearly as speedy
The drive is expensive compared with competing solid-state drives. The Samsung Magician software only works with Windows
Nothing to mention.
Quite expensive for what you're getting
Warranty is overkill
Expensive enthusiast product
Very expensive
Not as fast as PCIe solutions
SATA is limiting
Empty
It certainly isn't the best value considering its premium over the Extreme Pro and availability of drives like the Crucial MX100. RAPID isn't as useful as you may think.
Vast: Tons of capacity; good performance; great endurance and warranty; SATA is ubiquitous
Empty: Very expensive; not as fast as PCIe solutions; SATA is limiting
Samsungs 2TB 850 Pro offers the most capacity youll currently find in a 2.5-inch SATA drive, but its upstaged by the bang-for-the-buck of its 850 Evo sibling...
Tons of capacity, good performance, great endurance and warranty, SATA is ubiquitous.

Abstract: During the early days of SSDs, we saw rather quick development in capacities. The very first SSDs were undoubtedly small, generally 32GB or 64GB, but there was a need for higher capacities to make SSDs more usable in client environments. MLC NAND caused a...

Abstract: Since the release of the first 1TB SSD, enthusiasts have looked to the next capacity point. It's always easy to demand a bigger, faster or better product. But when push comes to shove, those jumps only happen when there's financial impetus. I can ask for...
Abstract: Good, fast, cheap; pick a maximum of two. While typically considered in the context of services for hire, this Unholy Trinity of aspects that allows consumers to, on a rigid and mutually-exclusive basis, have or eat their cake also makes up the foundation...
Highest capacity SSD currently available, Set a new bar in performance in many of our benchmarks, Samsung pedigree with a 10-year warranty
Much more expensive than a 2TB HDD
The Samsung 850 PRO 2TB drive is a bar-setting SSD in both capacity and performance, offering power users arguably the best consumer drive on the market...
Abstract: For the past decade we've been hearing people say that it was only a matter of time before Solid-State Drives (SSD's) will nearly completely kill off magnetic drives. Traditional hard drives will still exist in niche markets they said, but SSDs will event...
Abstract: Where are all the 2TB SSDs? It's a question we've been hearing since they started to go mainstream seven years ago. While we have seen a few come along on the enterprise side as far back as 2011 , those were prohibitively large, expensive, and out of reac...

We don't think that anyone would expect a performance difference between the Samsung EVO/Pro 1TB SSD and the 2TB SSD, but that's the effect of most of us seeing flash technology increase at such a fast pace.I could be wrong but I believe that, up until th...
Abstract: In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. This is the unfortunate but temporary state of consumer SSDs that aren't the Intel 750 or Samsung SM951. Both of those drives offer cutting-edge performance, value (relative to peers), and the potential...
