The Samsung 850 EVO is a great drive. It delivers excellent performance across various workloads. It does really well in a typical desktop workloads thanks to the TurboWrite and RAPID.

If it were our money, we'd go with the Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2 for two simple reasons: It's the full package, and Samsung has shown in the previous gen that even if anything untoward crops up longer-term, it will make an effort to stand by its product.

  • +

    Excellent all-around performance, Field-leading SSD utility software, Competitive pricing for M.2 form factor

    SATA-bus only, Maximum capacity in SSD 850 EVO M.2 line is only 500GB

Performance Summary : When we closed out our review of the 2.5" Samsung SSD 850 EVO, we said, “...the 500GB drive we tested performed extremely well throughout our battery of tests. The drive performed well with large sequential transfers and also offered very low access times.

TRIM Performance: While SSDs offer many benefits, there are some downsides to using flash memory. One of the biggest issues people run into is performance degradation. Over time, an SSD will run out of fresh blocks and will have to write over data the file system has marked as deleted.

    Small M.2 form factor, Equipped with 3-bit 3D V-NAND, Available in 120GB, 250GB and 500GB capacities, Features RAPID mode and TurboWrite technology, Excellent sequential read and write speeds under most conditions, Good random read and write performance, Performs equally well with compressible and...

    Write speed drops when TurboWrite buffer is full, RAPID mode is Windows only

Honestly I was not expecting mSATA to perform as well as it did. Very impressive. That goes for both form factors, albeit the 120GB version of the M.2 form factor based SSD was disappointing in write performance.

To help maintain Samsung's market share, the M.2 of the 850 EVO is being introduced into the growing M.2 marketplace. Boasting almost no difference in performance across all form factors the Samsung 850 EVO M.2 will show you what this form factor can really accomplish.

Just as with the SSD 840 EVO, Samsung has successfully transitioned its mainstream SSD offering to smaller form factors with little to no impact on performance and features. Having so much storage available in so little space still impresses, and the mSATA drives are bound to appeal to fans of mini...

The appeal for mobile device or small PC format owners is obvious, both formats offer high capacity, desktop like performance, encryption and low power consumption. The whole package is backed by a 5 years limited warranty. Who say one can not have the cake and eat it too?

Samsung has morphed their successful 850 EVO drives into M.2 and mSATA form factors to meet the demands of shrinking devices while keeping all of the great aspects of the 2.5″ drive in a tiny package thanks to their 3D V-NAND.

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 the SATA protocols.

Prices have really dropped, but now these should be popping up in all brand new laptops and we should be doing away with mechanical hard drives. This would force the prices of these down even more making them more affordable. Grrrr. Come one HP, Dell, Lenovo!

    You will want to head to SSD review and check out how to optimize SSDs for your OS. Once you have it properly setup you can expect it to perform amazingly well and last a long time. I have Windows 10, Office 2010 and a bunch of other software installed and am only taking up 27.6GB.

I bought the Samsung 500GB 850 Evo M.2 SSD. I installed in the Dell Optiplex 5040 Desktop which has the M.2 SSD slot. I used Samsung software to clone my Windows 10 with ease. The samsung 00GB 850 Evo M.2 SSD is very fast. So far it's working fine for me about two weeks now.

Upgraded a Lenovo W520 to 1 TB. Boot is super fast now, better than purchasing a new machine. The Samsung documentation is virtually non existent and software provided by Samsung is very poor, won't work when you need to re-size partitions and requires the use of their USB connector which is not...

Install hardware per motherboard instructions. Was immediately seen by bios on boot up. I'm running Win10 and the clone software on site did not support it. Needed Version 3 of the software and it took a while to find. Once installed, I ran the software and clone the boot drive.
