Samsung has established itself as among the top choices for SSDs in the desktop and laptop sectors, where its 2.5in Evo and Pro ranges offer among the best performance for any given price.
Provides very high access speeds ; Very good longevity and warranty ; Competitively priced
No PCIe support so won't work in many motherboards

New versions of Samsung's popular drive take different physical designs, while offering almost exactly the same performance and features as their larger sibling.

Today's biggest-capacity consumer SSD, the 4TB version of the venerable 850 EVO packs the same speed and delivers the same strengths as Samsung's earlier models, but the price is quite dear.

The SSD 850 EVO delivers most of the benefits of Samsung's SSD 850 Pro drive, including class-leading endurance and very good overall performance, at a much lower price. But if you can find a 256GB-or-bigger Crucial MX100 or older SSD 840 Pro for...

The latest entry level SSD from Samsung has no suffix and bears neither the PRO or EVO appellation. It is a new entry-level SATA SSD featuring Samsung's latest 64-layer 3D TLC NAND, making it a very close relative to the 850 EVO line.
If Samsung wanted to brand the 850 120GB as a full member of the 850 EVO family, it would be worthy. We can't really expect any better performance from a drive this size, and Samsung can probably afford to extend the warranty to match the 5 years...

The move isn't really surprising because Samsung released an mSATA version of the SSD 840 EVO a bit over a year ago and when the 850 EVO was originally launched we were told that mSATA and M.2 models would follow later. The addition of M.2 is new to...
From a technological perspective, the new 850 EVO drives do not bring anything new to the table since it's essentially the 2.5" 850 EVO in a smaller form factor, but what it does bring to the market is more selection in mSATA and M.2 form factors using...
