The sequential read and write tests, denoted by “Seq” above, show the true performance of this drive.

This includes benchmark testing using both CrystalDiskMark and AS SSD Benchmark, both of which run a series of synthetic stress tests on the drive to help evaluate performance. The review video below by TechteamGB (scroll down to view) goes through a few real-life tests to indicate the drive’s performance for the 120GB capacity. To give you an idea of the endurance of this drive, if you were to write 50GB to the drive every day, the specifications indicate that it would take you more than 8 years to wear out the drive. The 3-dimensional V-NAND architecture offers a deluge of benefits: a higher NAND cell density means bigger storage capacity offerings (hence the 2TB 850 series SSD release), faster performance, up to 45 percent reduction in power consumption, and higher endurance. The result is more memory density within a small footprint. Think of it like building skyscrapers in a city, rather than 1-story flats. Put simply, V-NAND is the name Samsung have given their method of assembling physical NAND memory in the drive in vertical layers rather than trying to decrease the size of NAND cells to fit horizontally on the finite 2-dimensional area that a SSD footprint offers. The 850 Evo is definitely an upgrade to the previous 840 Evo series – it boasts an entirely new technology: Samsung’s V-NAND or 3D vertical NAND topology. No 7mm to 9mm thickness adapter plate included.
Samsung Magician Software only supported on Windows-based PC’s.Up to 540MB/s read, 520MB/s write speed.The 120GB drive size covered in this review is the smallest size available, with other 850 EVO size offerings of 250GB, 500GB, 1TB and even up to 2TB available. This review covers the standard 2.5″ 7mm thick form factor, but mSATA or M.2 versions of this SSD are also available. Sporting Samsung’s V-NAND technology, the EVO series represents a mid-range priced product with mid-to-high level performance and is quite affordable in the lower capacity offering such as 120GB. The Samsung 850 EVO is an extremely popular choice for a SSD and is quickly becoming a mainstream SSD favorite. Manufacturer: Samsung Overview: Samsung 850 EVO 120GB In this Samsung 850 EVO 120GB Review, we’ll take a closer look at this drive and see how it stacks up in terms of performance and price. A recent laptop upgrade had us dealing with solid state drives (SSDs) and one of the potential candidates for this SSD upgrade was the 120GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD which we are reviewing today.
