3D V‎-NAND TechnologySamsung’s innovative 3D V‎-NAND flash memory architecture breaksthrough density‎,‎ performance‎,‎ and endurance limitations of today’s conventional planar NAND architecture‎.‎ Samsung 3D V‎-NAND stacks 32 cell layers vertically resulting in higher density and better performance utilizing a smaller footprint‎.‎

TurboWrite TechnologyAchieve incredible read/write performance to maximize your everyday computing experience with Samsung’s TurboWrite technology‎.‎ You can obtain up to 2x faster random read write speeds than the award‎-winning Samsung 840 EVO‎.‎ The 850 EVO delivers class‎-leading performance* in sequential read ‎(‎540MB/s‎)‎ and write ‎(‎520MB/s‎)‎ speeds‎.‎ Plus‎,‎ gain optimized random performance in all QD for better real‎-world performance‎.‎

* Performance compared to 3‎-Bit MLC‎-class SSD drives

RAPID ModeSamsung’s Magician software enables RAPID Mode for up to 2x faster performance* by utilizing unused PC memory ‎(‎DRAM‎)‎ as a high‎-speed cache‎.‎ The newest version of Samsung Magician supports up to a 4 GB cache on a system with 16 GB of DRAM‎.‎

* Compared to same drive w/out RAPID enabled

Enhanced Endurance and ReliabilityThe 850 EVO doubles the endurance* and reliability** compared to the previous generation 840 EVO** and features a class‎-leading*** 5 year warranty‎.‎ With enhanced long‎-term reliability‎,‎ the 850 EVO assures longterm dependable performance of up to 30% longer than the previous generation 840 EVO‎.‎

* Measured by Terrabytes Written ‎(‎TBW‎)‎** Measured with Sustained Performance 12hr Random Write Test*** Highest among 3‎-Bit MLC‎-class SSD drives

Improved Energy EfficiencyThe 850 EVO delivers significantly longer battery life on your notebook* with a controller designed and optimized for 3D V‎-NAND that supports‎.‎ Device Sleep for Windows at a highly efficient 2mW‎.‎ The 850 EVO supports 25% better power efficiency than the 840 EVO during write operations thanks to ultra‎-efficient 3D V‎-NAND only consuming 50% less energy than that of traditional Planar 2D NAND‎.‎

* Compared to standard hard drive & previous generation SSDs

Ultimate FlexibilityThe versatile 850 EVO mSATA has you covered no matter which connector type or physical slot size your device has‎,‎ making it perfect for desktops‎,‎ laptops and even ultra‎-thin tablet PCs‎.‎

Advanced EncryptionThe 850 EVO comes fortified with the latest hardware‎-based full disk encryption engine‎.‎ The AES 256‎-bit hardware encryption secures data without any performance degradation and complies with TCG Opal 2.0‎.‎ Easily integrate into Windows with Microsoft e‎-drive IEEE‎-1667 to keep your data protected at all times‎.‎

Dynamic Thermal Guard ProtectionThe 850 EVO’s Dynamic Thermal Guard constantly monitors and maintains ideal temperatures for the drive to operate in optimal conditions to ensure the integrity of your data‎.‎ The Thermal Guard automatically throttles temperatures down when temperatures rise above optimal critical threshold‎.‎ This protects your data while maintaining responsiveness to help ensure your computer is always safe from overheating‎.‎
