SATA is ubiquitous.
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.

Samsung has made some nice improvements over the 840 PRO drives, helped along with modified firmware and their proprietary high density 32-layer 3D V-NAND. Performance is pretty even across all capacities with the 128GB drive just a little slower than the...

The Samsung 850 Pro is the highest performing SATA 6Gb/s SSD we have reviewed to date. Packed with new innovative 3D V-NAND, full encryption support, and backed by an industry leading 10 year warranty, it is definitely worth a look!...
Back when the Samsung 840 PRO was released in 2012, I really didn't really think Samsung would release another SATA based drive as its successor. At the time, the Samsung 840 PRO was already clearly hitting the limits of the SATA interface, and there wasn...

The all-encompassing brilliance of Samsung's 850 Pro is muted somewhat by the fact that SATA 6Gb/s is restrictive. The 850 Pro works within the interface's constraints, though. It's well-rounded and fast, no doubt. But most of the SSDs we've reviewed late...

Before we weigh in with our final verdict, we'll bust out a few of our famous value scatter plots. The best solutions will gravitate toward the upper left corner of the plot, which signifies high performance and low prices. Click the buttons below the pl...

Our first rating is performance, which compares how effective the Samsung SSD 850 PRO performs in benchmark operations against competing SATA-based solid state drive storage solutions. For reference, Samsung specifications suggest 550 MB/s maximum reads...
