Samsung SSD 850 EVO (500GB)

The Samsung SSD 850 EVO offers the same sort of class-leading performance of Samsung's SSD 850 Pro drive, along with impressive management software and a lengthy five-year warranty.

Very fast performance on a SATA-connected solid-state drive (SSD). Generous five-year warranty. Available in capacities up to 1TB.

A little pricey.

Samsung SSD 850 EVO (120GB, 250GB, 500GB & 1TB) Review

Samsung hasn't stopped impressing me in the SSD space. The early Samsung SSDs weren't very good, but ever since the introduction of the SSD 830 Samsung has been doing a brilliant job and has been setting the bar for performance, cost and reliability....

There is still hope that the MSRPs are just conservative and street prices could end up lower. If they don't, while the 850 EVO is clearly the best performing "value" drive, it likely won't see the same sort of success as its predecessor. Samsung also...

Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SATA III M.2 SSD Review

Samsung's 850 EVO is one of the fastest SATA SSD's ever made. Does the newly launched M.2 850 EVO pack the same punch? Let's take a close look.

Samsung 850 EVO 500GB review

3D stacked memory comes to the mainstream

Speedy performance ; Good-value ; Five-year warranty

Not a huge generational leap ; Definitely consumer-class SSD

The fastest mainstream SSD around, just not necessarily one to shake the solid state world.

SSD 850 EVO 2.5" SATA III 500GB

Originally installed Windows 7 and it was great at loading up. Upgraded to Windows 10 and it is awesome. This drive is way faster than a regular HD at booting up. Totally recommend this drive to anyone looking to upgrade to a SSD.

Fast ; Inexpensive
