Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E120BW 120 GB

Faster, higher, stronger

The Samsung 850 EVO is the fastest 2.5" TLC SSD on the market. And they are not much more expensive than solid-state drives with low speed. The 850 EVO series includes 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, 2TB and 4TB models. That is, if you have a great desire and sufficient finances, you can assemble a PC with a capacious disk subsystem without a buzzing HDD at all.

home production

Under the hood, the 850 EVO has all the components of Samsung's own production: multi-layer 40nm 3D TLC flash memory, MGX smart controller and DDR3 RAM cache. By analogy with other TLC drives, the speed of the 850 EVO also drops when writing large files: from 500 to 300 Mbps (competitors have up to 70 Mbps). The read speed is stable 550 MB / s (the SATA III interface simply does not miss more).

Five hassle-free years

Of course, the high write speed, even taking into account drawdowns, and the selection of all components from the same brand do not cancel the main drawback of TLC memory — relatively fast wear and tear (theoretically, only 1000 rewrite cycles against 3000 for more expensive MLC memory). However, all this is not important, because the Samsung 850 EVO is covered by an extended five-year warranty (other 2.5-inch TLC drives have only 3 years). So, the manufacturer is one hundred percent confident in the durability of their SSDs.
