Today Samsung has released the latest addition to its 850 EVO SSD line, the 850 EVO SSD 2TB. The 850 EVO SSD line is designed more for everyday computing. Like its PRO counterpart, the EVO use Samsung’s 32-layer 3D V-NAND 2bit MLC/3bit MLC. Unlike the PRO, the EVO is aimed more at mainstream computer users and less at enthusiasts. Samsung states that its 3D V-NAND gives it up to two times the density and write speed performance of other drives. The drive has 2GB of LPDDR2DRAM cache memory, SATA 6Gb/s interface, and comes with a 5-year warranty.
Data is continuing to grow and users are looking for ways to expand their capacities without sacrificing performance. SSDs provide that best performance but all the consumer versions topped out at 1TB, until now. Samsung’s 850 EVO 2TB aims to retain all the great features the line has already shown (great performance, low power consumption, and full disk encryption) plus it now has double the capacity. The 850 EVO has been sitting near the top of our leaderboard for sometime, assuming it can maintain or exceed the performance of the smaller capacity drives.
Like the other drives in the line, the 850 EVO 2TB comes with a 5-year warranty and retail price of $799.99.
