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

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.
Massive capacity, Very solid performance, Excellent endurance, 10-year warranty
Price, Solitary form factor
Samsung has used its proprietary 3D V-NAND technology to construct a new SSD that expands storage to a whopping 2TB. Interesting insofar as the technology uses an older, more mature process in a stacked formation, endurance, capacity and warranty are all...
Abstract: Samsung is updating its SATA SSD product line by adding new 2TB options to the 850 Pro and 850 Evo families. Are they any better than the existing models?A few days ago, we published a Tom's Hardware State of Solid State editorial that discussed what we w...

The Samsung 850 PRO arrived just too late for last year's round-up of the best SSDs, but even a year down the line it still has little serious competition in the stakes for the world's best SATA SSD. It may be left for dust by more modern PCIe drives such...
Samsung's 850 Pro SSDs are without a doubt the fastest SSDs of this moment. Given that this product does not seem to have any flaws, we heartily recommend it to those who are looking for the fastest possible SSD. The Vector 150 and AMD Radeon R7 SSDs ar...
Abstract: 3D V-NAND allows Samsung to stack the cells in NAND flash chips vertically as well as horizontally, thereby increasing the capacity of NAND flash chips in a SSD without having to rely on ever smaller manufacturing processes that are increasingly difficult...

Very fast write speeds, Great IOPs performance, 10 year warranty
Magician software (4.4 beta) not currently compatible with overclocked CPUs
The Samsung 850 Pro is a logical progression from the drive it replaces in the Samsung line-up, the 840 Pro. It has faster read speeds and while our sample was inferior to the 840 Pro in terms of write performance in some benchmarks, we can only assume th...
With even some low-end SSDs fast approaching the limits of the SATA 6Gb/s interface, performance really isn't as big an issue as it was this time a year ago. Samsung has turned its beady eye on another very important aspect of the SSD, namely endurance. ...
