Samsung 850 Evo 250GB

Samsung's mid-range 850 Evo blends cutting-edge tech with modest design

Consistent, fast read and write speeds ; Cheaper than 850 Pro ; Decent warranty

850 Pro drive is faster still ; Lesser endurance rating ; No extras included

The 850 Evo mixes cheaper memory with 3D V-NAND technology to strike a keen balance between price and performance, and it makes for an SSD that’s one of the best mid-range drives we’ve ever seen. The faster 850 Pro isn’t much more expensive, though,...

Samsung SSD 850 Evo: Big shoes to fill

Samsung's popular SSD 840 Evo now has a new successor in the form of the SSD 850 Evo. This new drive uses Samsung's newest 32-layer 3D TLC V-NAND and also the brand new MGX controller. Is it still the mainstream drive to beat? We find out.

Improved performance; TurboWrite cache technology; RAPID mode greatly boosts performance; Samsung Magician utility; Longer 5-year warranty

No accessories; Higher price; Write performance suffers with increasing queue depth

Dead in 6 months

It was easy to install it but died in 6 months and Mac Pro was in kernal panic due to the hard drive. Definitely not worth taking risk with your livelihood using this product.

Lightning fast SSD

This is my first SSD so I can't compare it to others, but it's the fastest drive I've ever used. Even compared to my dual Western Digital black 1Tb drives this one wins hands down.

Not a big deal because I have a ton laying around, but mine didn't come with any mounting screws. You just get the drive, a utility cd and a install steps poster with it.
