The EVO range consists of four capacities: 120GB, 250GB, 500GB and the flagship 1TB that I'm reviewing, so the same as the 840 EVO with one noticeable exception – the 850 EVO Samsung has dropped the 750GB model. Also missing this time around are any mSATA...

Samsung's newest drive – the 850 Evo – is cheaper than the 850 Pro , but still uses 3D V-NAND flash chips. The 850 Evo is produced with TLC rather than MLC memory, so cells store three bits of data rather than two – a move that increases storage density a...

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...

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...

Today we have the latest model from the Samsung SSD 850 Evo on hand, the mouth-watering 2TB model. Previously the 850 Evo range extended to a 1TB model but for those that find that simply wasn't enough, Samsung has doubled the capacity and in the process...
Although 8 months has now passed since we reviewed the Samsung SSD 850 Evo series, not a lot has changed in the SSD industry. With SATA SSDs running out of bandwidth long before the 850 series, there has been little to no room for improvement with the big...

The first SSD I used day to day in my main PC was the Intel X25-M and despite being an eye-watering $4.87 per gigabyte, the 80GB model was a bargain at $390 considering the SLC X25-E was selling for almost twice that in a miniscule 64GB capacity. Back th...
Highest capacity...
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.

Samsung's TLC V-NAND continues to impress. Despite the extra stored bit bogging it down versus MLC flash, it keeps pace with and often surpasses the performance of other manufacturers' MLC drives. This particular drive's 2TB configuration is a good showc...
