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 NAND architecture. 3D VNAND is fabricated by stacking 32 cell layers vertically over one another rather than
decreasing the cells dimensions and trying to fit itself onto a fixed horizontal space resulting in
higher density and better performance utilizing a smaller footprint.

The 850 EVO is the advanced consumer SSD powered by 3D V-NAND technology that maximizes everyday computing experiences with optimized performance and enhanced reliability.

Powered by Samsung's cutting-edge 3D V-NAND technology, 850 EVO delivers top-class sequential
and random read and write performance to optimize everyday computing. With improved performance thanks to TurboWrite technology the 850 EVO provides not only more than a 10% better user experience than 840 EVO but up to 1.9x faster random write speeds for the 120/250 GB models as well. In fact, the 850 EVO delivers top class sequential read (540 MB/s) and write (520 MB/s) performance in all capacities. This comes with optimized random read and write performance on all QD and improved QD1 and QD2 random performance for Client PC usage.

In the early stages of the 840 EVO, Samsung adopted sequential write performance first. With
TurboWrite, write speeds are significantly accelerated during data transfers by creating a high-performance write buffer in the SSD. If a consecutive write operation (i.e. no idle time) exceeds the size of the buffer, the transfer will exit TurboWrite and be processed at ”After TurboWrite” speeds. Once the buffer is cleared, TurboWrite performance will resume. However, the buffer size for TurboWrite is more than sufficient for everyday PC use, and you should experience accelerated speeds for most workloads.

For the 850 EVO, enhanced TurboWrite technology applied to random write speeds up to 1.9x faster for the 120 GB model and 1.25x faster for the 250GB model over the 840 EVO.

The 850 EVO delivers guaranteed endurance and reliability by doubling the TBW compared to the
previous generation 840 EVO backed by an industry leading 5 year warranty. With twice the endurance of a typical NAND flash SSD, the 850 EVO will keep working as long as you do. The 850 EVO guarantees a 5 year limited warranty or 75TBW for 120GB and 250GB, 150TBW for 500GB and 1TB.

With enhanced reliability through improved sustained performance, the 850 EVO assures longterm
dependable performance up to 30% longer than the 840 EVO with minimized performance degradation. This means you can use it every day when taking care of work or entertaining yourself knowing it will keep performing even with heavy daily workloads over the years.

The 850 EVO provides the same data encryption feature as the 840 EVO does. Self-Encrypting Drive
(SED) security technology will help keep data safe at all times. It includes an AES 256-bit hardwarebased
encryption engine to ensure that your personal files remain secure. Being hardwarebased, the encryption engine secures your data without performance degradation that you may experience with a software-based encryption. Also, 850 EVO is compliant with advanced security management solutions (TCG Opal and IEEE 1667). Magician will guide ”How to use security features”. Furthermore, you can erase or initialize data with the crypto erase service with PSID.

Power consumption affects everyone. You actually save of up to 50% more on power than
with the 840 EVO during write operations thanks to 3D V-NAND consuming half the power of 2D
planar NAND.

Plus, whether it’s preserving battery life for longer cordless use or just saving on costs, power
management is important. Device sleep signals the SSD to enter a low power state which is vital for
ultra-books and other battery powered devices. With 850 EVO’s Device Sleep at a highly efficient
2mW you get longer battery life on your notebook thanks to a controller optimized for 3D V-NAND.
With the 850 EVO you can work and play longer without having to plug in.

Samsung 2TB SSD 850 PRO SATA 6Gbps 3D NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-7KE2T0BW) @ £699.95 inc VAT

HD-209-SA_400.jpg


The Samsung SSD 850 PRO delivers blazing-fast speeds with an exceptionally high endurance and provides the highest performance of SSDs with SATA III (6Gb / s) interface. The sequential read performance is achieved up to 550 megabytes per second (MB / s), the Write performance up to 520 MB / s The random read performance of up to 100,000 Input/Output- Operations per second (IOPS), the write speeds up to 90,000 IOPS.


Samsung's 3D V-NAND flash memory is fabricated using an innovative vertical design. Its vertical architecture stacks 32 cell layers on top of one another rather than trying to decrease the cells' length and width to fit today's ever-shrinking form factors. This architecture results in higher density and higher performance using a smaller footprint. Samsung's 3D V-NAND technology is a breakthrough in overcoming the density limits currently faced with conventional planar NAND architecture.

Powered by Samsung's own cutting-edge 3D V-NAND technology, the 850 PRO delivers up to two times the density and write speed when compared with traditional 20 nm planar NAND flash for the ultimate in read and write performance. By changing to a 32-layer cylindrical cell structure, more cells can be stacked vertically, resulting in a smaller footprint and higher density. As a result, you gain superior maximum read and write performance in both sequential and random aspects, especially the 128GB model that outperforms other similar models in the market by more than 100Mb/s in write speed.

Plus, you can kick up the read/write performance on every capacity when you need it with the RAPID mode. Just like shifting gears in a car, Magician software gives you the option to enhance performance by processing data on a system level using free PC memory (DRAM) as a cache. The 128 GB model, for example, is able to double its performance by using the V-NAND technology.

With twice the endurance and reliability of a typical NAND flash SSD, the 850 PRO will keep working as long as you do. Samsung's V-NAND technology is built to handle an 80 GB daily workload, which equates to 150 Terabytes Written (TBW), enabling you to use the SSD for long periods of time. Plus, it comes with the industry's top-level ten-year limited warranty.

The efficient, power management components in the 850 PRO enable you work longer and more productively. The 850 PRO boasts the lowest power consumption of any SSD when in full use so that power consumption is minimized while market-leading performance is maintained., And, in the device sleep mode, it consumes only 2 m watts of power, as determined in test results on an Ultrabook™ device. Plus, its LPDDR2 cache memory provides higher performance while consuming 30 percent less power when active and 93 percent less power when idle than typical DDR2 or DDR3 memory.

When you take your laptop on the road, you not only need to protect your PCs hardware, but your personal data, too. But don't worry. The 850 PRO's Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology will help keep it safe, even if you lose your laptop. The drive includes an AES-256-bit hardware-based, full disk encryption engine that secures your data without performance degradation, which is often experienced with software-based encryption.

The 850 PRO's advanced security complies with the Trusted Computing Group™ (TCG) Opal v2.0 standards, protecting Postscript Image Data (PSID), and is compatible with the Microsoft? eDrive Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1667 protocol. Plus, you can erase or initialize data with the crypto erase service.

To ensure it won't let you down, the 850 PRO includes Dynamic Thermal Guard protection, which keeps your PC performance safe from heat. After all, when you're totally immersed in your work or in a competitive video game, the last thing you want to have happen is for your computer to overheat. Dynamic Thermal Guard protection monitors and maintains the drive's optimal operating temperature with a throttle feature that automatically drops the SSD's temperature when necessary to protect your data and ensure the responsiveness you expect. So, your PC will stay cool, even if you overwork it - and you'll keep your cool, too.

Samsung has made upgrading to the 850 PRO simple using its One-stop Install Navigator software. You can migrate all the data from your SSD or HDD to the 850 PRO quickly and easily. The Auto Install guide, included in the toolkit, guides you through the simple three-step installation process.

What's more, you can conveniently monitor, manage and maintain your new 850 PRO with the Samsung Magician software that's also available through the One-stop Install Navigator toolkit. The Magician features tools to help you maximize performance, including benchmarking, advanced OS optimization, disk health status tracking and over-provisioning (OP) settings.

Samsung is one of the few manufacturers that actually design all the SSD components in-house. And among those who do, Samsung has the most experience in the SSD market. Because Samsung has intimate knowledge of every component and its parts, it can fine-tune them at each stage of development to ensure they work perfectly together. The result – enhanced performance with a 32-layer 3D V-NAND flash memory, lower power consumption with an up to 1 GB LPDDR2 DRAM cache memory and improved energy-efficiency with the 3-core MEX controller.

Must you show me these things? I'm trying not to spend money on stuff I don't really need and you make it so hard !!
I ought to take a break from these forums, they are just too much of a temptation I mean I already bought Grizzly thermal paste today (mind you its only small stuff I get free shipping on) and two 980ti's the other week. Sigh....
 
Wow £599 is nice price. :)

Bit too high for me as I already bought 2x 1TB Samsung 850 EVO a while ago from OCUK cheaper so maybe I will grab these 2TB SSD when it hit £300 next year. :D
 
Not a bad price on reflection to cost of smaller drives, I wont be buying something like that until it's like £200 though :p
 
How long at this price Gibbo? I want the 2TB Pro but end of next week..

*EDIT* Just seen not in stock yet, is money take straight away for pre order?

Unknown because we are way below market price, check some competitors you will see upto £50 more expensive. The first batch expected in a couple of weeks is small units, once sold out price will be unknown if up or down.

Ah ok, so unless all pre orders sell out, this pre-order price will be the same til end of next week?

Yes but I only take 20 of each, very expensive SSD's do not sell in huge volumes as its a lot of money to pay for a drive that gives identical performance to say the smaller 500GB which only cost £150.

But if you got the cash, then why not because I'd rather have all my games on an SSD due to much quicker loading times. :)

Nice one, looking to order next week. Will check back hopefully some still on for pre order. Cheers :)
 
What's the advantages of having a 2tb instead of 1tbx2 and £100-£150 extra in your pocket?

very little and given that these 2tb drives have similar expected wear levels to the smaller days despite having twice the capacity....

Still two drives equals twice the possibility of failure.....
only other benefits are size and amount of connectors required

but then you could RAID two smaller drives with similar individual write performance for nearly twice the maximum throughput.

Give it a year or two and they will fall in price...

Remember £280 for a slow ( 56MB/s read, 32MB/s write speeds) 32gb SSD from April of 2007 anyone??
