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...
The EVO version of the 850 with its TLC version of Samsung's V-NAND technology may not have the amazing 10-year guarantee of the 850 PRO but its mix of five-year warranty, good performance and impressive endurance make it more than a worthy successor to t...

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...

Earlier this morning, we tested and discussed Samsung's new 850 EVO 1TB SSD that uses 3-bit 3D V-NAND technology. The 1TB model is the only new EVO product to carry over Samsung's MEX controller from the 840 EVO and 850 Pro products. The 120GB, 250GB, and...
In the chart above, we see a reduced scale latency test result from PCMark 8. In the test, the 850 EVO comes very close to the total latency of the industry leading SanDisk Extreme PRO 240GB without RAPID Mode enabled. With RAPID enabled, the 850 EVO dro...

I recently bought a Samsung 840 EVO on Amazon – a great deal at £90 for a 250GB solid state drive, or so I thought. A few days later, I was offered the chance to review the 850 EVO, and of course I couldn't pass that up – especially as I now had the perfe...
