Vast
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.

Abstract: In the world of SSDs, the Samsung 850 Pro is a major achievement. Up until now, all of the advances in SSD technology have come from either shrinking the size of the memory cells through using smaller process nodes, or through packing more data into each...

Samsung took the market by storm when they released the consumer oriented 830 SSD series a few years back since that line could easily match and in many cases even surpass the performance of competing SSD models without extra cost (the fact that it was a ...

The Samsung 850 PRO is one of, if not the, best consumer-oriented SSDs currently available. Designed and built entirely in-house, this ultra-slim, high-capacity drive combines Samsung's triple-core MEX controller with their second generation, 32-layer 3D ...
Class-leading 10-year warranty, thanks to 3D memory, Fastest SATA SSD we've tested yet overall, Available in capacities up to 1TB
Expensive compared to mainstream SSDs that are nearly as speedy
If you feel the need for both maximum speed and maximum durability from a consumer-focused SSD, Samsung's SSD 850 Pro is the best choice on both fronts. But if you can live with a shorter warranty and a little less speed, good drives are available for a ...

The 850 PRO is an impressive piece of technology. By going vertically the 3D V-NAND opens the path to much higher SSD capacity in the near future, we are talking 8TB by 2017. For now, it offers pretty much everything the consumer would want to see from a...

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. To be hones...
