Features

What is 3D V-NAND and how does it differ from existing technology?

Samsung’s unique and innovative 3D V-NAND flash memory architecture is a breakthrough in overcoming the density limitations, performance and endurance of today’s conventional planar V-NAND architecture. 3D V-NAND stacks 32 cell layers vertically over one another rather than decreasing cell dimensions and trying to fit itself onto a fixed horizontal space. As a result, the technology provides higher density and better performance utilising a smaller footprint.

Optimise computing with TurboWrite technology for unrivalled read / write speeds

Achieve ultimate read / write performance to maximise your everyday computing experience with Samsung’s TurboWrite technology. Compared to the 840 EVO, the 850 EVO shows an increased overall user experience of approximately 13%*, partly thanks to the now 2x faster random write speeds** The 850 EVO delivers top-notch performance in its class, with sequential read and write speeds of 540 MB/s and 520 MB/s, respectively. Enjoy optimised random performance in all Queue Depths (QD) for client PC usage scenarios.

* PCmark7 (250 GB) : 6700 (840 EVO) < 7600 (850 EVO) ** Random Write (QD32, 120 GB) : 36000 IOPS (840 EVO) < 88000 IOPS (850 EVO)

Increase memory storage with RAPID mode

The Samsung 850 EVO mSATA is a speed machine. With the latest Samsung Magician software, you can activate the RAPID mode to tap unused PC memory (DRAM) and use it as cache storage up to 25% of the total DRAM capacity. With the dramatic increase in storage, data processing speeds and random QD can be up to 2x faster* under the RAPID mode.

* PCMARK7 RAW (250 GB): 7500 < 15000 (RAPID mode)

Endurance and reliability bolstered by 3D V-NAND technology

The 850 EVO delivers guaranteed endurance and reliability by doubling the Total Bytes Written (TBW) compared to the previous generation of 840 EVO* along with an industry-leading 5 year warranty. Through improving performance by up to 30%, the 850 EVO allows sustained performance** making it one of the most dependable storage solutions.

* TBW: 43 (840 EVO) < 75 (850 EVO 120 / 250 GB), 150 (850 EVO 500 / 1 TB) ** Sustained Performance (250 GB) : 3300 IOPS (840 EVO) < 6500 IOPS (850 EVO), Performance measured after 12 hours “Random Write” test

Energy efficiency backed by 3D V-NAND

The 850 Evo introduced the 2 mW device sleep mode feature in the 840 EVO, and now the 850 EVO is introducing cutting-edge 3D V-NAND Technology (which consumes 50% less energy than Planar 2D V-NAND), giving you 25% more power efficiency during write operations*.

* Power (250 GB): 3.2 Watt (840 EVO) > 2.4 Watt (850 EVO)

Flexible form factor for use in different types of devices

The versatile 850 EVO has you covered no matter which connector type or physical slot size your device supports. The 850 EVO M.2 SATA shares a similar slim and narrow footprint like M.2 PCIe type SSDs, but supports the SATA interface. It’s perfect for faster computing experiences on today’s desktops, laptops, and especially ultra-thin space-constrained tablet PCs.

Secured data through advanced encryption methods

The 850 EVO comes fortified with the latest hardware-based full disk encryption engine. The AES 256-bit encryption and TCG Opal 2.0 encryption secure data without any performance degradation. It is also compatible with IEEE-1667 for Microsoft’s eDrive so that your data is protected at all times for your peace of mind.

Protection against overheating with Dynamic Thermal Guard

The 850 EVO Dynamic Thermal Guard feature constantly and automatically monitors and maintains the ideal temperature for the drive to operate optimally.

Simple and quick migration management

With the One-Stop Install Navigator, Samsung Data Migration and Magician software are installed simultaneously for your convenience to ensure that your SSD’s settings are optimised for efficient data transfer.

Enjoy an integrated in-house solution including top-quality components

As the industry SSD leader, Samsung is uniquely positioned to design, develop and manufacturer exclusively in house, resulting in a seamlessly integrated and fully optimised solution for enhanced performance and eliminating the risk of component compatibility errors.

This has to be single best investment I have ever made into my PC. Finally got a new motherboard to replace an older unit and was lucky to have had the M.2 socket on the board. Had spent a lot of time re-installing my OS on my old SATA drive...but then I bought this SSD and in less than 30 min I was up and running with the new Evo drive...this drive is amazing. Can't wait to get another one...maybe I'll get a 1TB SSD, but for sure it will be a Samsung!

Upgrading to the Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2 500GB is the best thing that ever happened for my laptop. Apps load blazingly fast. The increase in performance is immediately noticeable. The only hassle is that it does not come with a M.2 mounting screw. And to my luck, my laptop also does not have a M.2 screw in the mounting screw hole of its M.2 slot. So I had to procure a separate M.2 screw which was a bit of a hassle. Data migration was a bit tricky since the Samsung Data Migration Tool was not able to clone the recovery partition of my old hard disk. Kinda disappointed about that, but it's not much of a big deal since I was able to make a workaround by creating a recovery USB using Windows 10's "Create USB Recovery" app. Overall though, I am very satisfied with the product. I'm never settling for those old, rattling, heavy hard disks again. Ever.

I wanted to go with a slightly faster m.2 SSD for my new build but the budget got in the way. That said, this one has been brilliant. My system loads so fast I don't have time to do anything else. access to my files is instant and long load times on games is a distant memory. For a balance of value, performance, and reliability, this is one fantastic choice.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to go for a standard SSD or a SATA m.2 unit. My MSI motherboard has a SATA M.2 slot and I decided to go for it. It works great . Installation of Windows 8.1 took under 6 minutes with restarts. Windows 8.1 starts (after post) in less than 3 seconds. Great speed and great space 500 Gb is much more than I expected of a SATA m.2.

Based on current market of SSD, this is the best M.2 AHCI ssd money can buy. With latest intel skull canyon I get full speed specified by Samsung. Happy that Samsung has 1TB version available if I need more space. If your motherboard or BIOS support NVMe then you should get 950 pro. I highly recommend this SSD.

Awesome ssd. However... not as easy to install. You have to down load data migration and magician from the Internet. Should come with instructions. Also... it did not shut down regular had drove. It kept crashing. Had to disconnect had drive. Then boot up.

This drive is small and fast. It's about the size of a stick of PC RAM and super fast. It took me about 15 minuets to install but that was only because I had to remove my graphics card to get to the M.2 slot on my motherboard.

Great product! super speed, Installed with no problem with a clean Windows 10 OS in my HP EliteBook 1040 G1. I drop one star because of the Samsung magician Software does not support W10 to activate RAPID MODE.

I am a professional aerospace engineer for hardware and software. as such, my work challenges my development hardware often up to and beyond the published specs. these evo ssd's of which i currently have 10 in constant use have provided me with the ability to compile, store, manipulate data in truly an outstanding and highly reliable fashion for a large, complex, and interrelated cross-platform project that involves all the latest windows, mac, and linux servers and their companion workstations. from machine language to c/c++ to c# to java, to sql, to html5 and some proprietary systems i have enjoyed a development lab that is virtually quiet and certainly cooler than when my equipment used rotational storage devices. i have taken the time to compare the speed between my older development and the current setups. i have re-compiled and compared the overall completion times and find that in every (my specific) case my overall time to completion is simply faster even on some of my older, much slower processors. i heartily recommend these units to even the most casual user. i have a batch of the (even faster) EVO 512's coming for an extension of the current development and am expecting to be even more pleased with these Samsung products. (not sure this is appropriate but i have tested other manufacturer's products and have chosen Samsung for the final production deliveries).

I had still been using traditional hard drives before now and had no idea what I was missing. A few months ago I built a new system based around an Intel 4790k CPU(with liquid cooling), 16GB 1866MHz memory, 2x GTX970 in SLI, and a plain old hard drive, a Western Digital 2TB Caviar Black that I had already owned a few years. I was well aware the HDD was the main bottleneck in my system but really underestimated how much it was holding it back from it's true potential. When I installed the 850 EVO 500GB M.2, I figured I was do for a clean install of Windows anyways and wanted to try out Windows 10 so that's what I did. It's a hair longer now, but when it was a completely clean installation with nothing installed other than drivers, it booted to my desktop in 7 seconds. Compared to probably two minutes or more(never really timed it) on my previous Windows 7 installation. I was sold on SSD's right there. Even when running programs installed on my other hard drives, everything feels smoother and more responsive. Games load amazingly fast and there's no more occasional slowdowns as part of a map is loaded or the like. I plan to in the near future get another SSD and have everything other than movies, music, pictures, and the like on something solid state. So basically, if you have a moderately decent system but still use a traditional HDD, get yourself an SSD. It'll feel like a new computer and like myself, you'll probably end up wondering why you didn't do so long ago.
