Samsung EVO 850 500GB m.2 SSD Review
Conclusion
Can Samsung’s EVO 850 Series live up to expectation in our real world tests with their new EVO 850 series SSD? Hardware ReviewsConclusion
Samsung have delivered yet another blistering fast product to the consumer market. It’s a shame I didn’t have a second one to test raid performance however I can imagine it would be off the charts providing a solid striped array, Use an old hdd for redundancy and you are good to go.
Going by the tests in the previous section, this m.2 SSD performs great, giving blistering fast across the board in all applications. Once again Samsung have lived up to my expectations and some. Most solid state drives I have benchmarked and tested before rarely reach anywhere near their rated sequential read / write speed however, the Samsung EVO 850 series managed to get all the way up to 490Mb/s (Read) and 472Mb/s (Write) which is pretty impressive despite partly being down to the interface.
Due to the inferior performance, sleek branding and packaging I am giving this beauty a well deserved 5/5 and the Performance PSU Gold Award!
Samsung EVO 850 500GB m.2 SSD
I have owned and used many SSDs in the past but this one is great. Not only is it noticeably faster than the others I own but its compact as well keeping the case nice and tidy. Highly recommended for SFF builds or people with a clean cable fetish.
