Endurance is also unchanged. Samsung offers a five year warranty on all capacities, which covers 75TBW for 120GB/250GB drives (~40GB/day) and 150TBW for higher capacities (~80GB/day). This is very generous and more than enough for client workloads...

Samsung 850 EVO M.2 SSD Review. Today we examine the 850 EVO M.2, we did look at the 840 a fair while back now, so it'll be interesting to see whats changed. M.2 is the successor of the now retiring mSATA interface. The real strength of the tech is the fo...
M.2 has caused much confusion since it launched, and going forward I don't expect that to change anytime soon. As I touched on in a past review, mSATA wasn't as exactly mainstream, it was their in the background for a long time but never really seen a...

This M.2 SATA SSD is small, fast and worth your money. I'll start off by clarifying something – while this IS an M.2 SSD, it still uses the SATA controller. That means the drive only runs at 6GB/s max, not the much loved 10GB/s that M.2 is known for. This...

"Let the good times roll" must be what Samsung's SSD division is thinking right about now. After delivering what is still the world's fastest SATA SSD last summer, Samsung tempted value-oriented enthusiasts in December with its 'V-NAND'-based 850 Evo series. Like the 2013's 840 Evo, the 850 Evo was equipped with TLC NAND, albeit with the twist of being 3D TLC NAND -- known as V-NAND in Samsung's solutions...

The only motherboard form factor that will fit into the H200i is mITX. Anyone who has bought or is planning to buy a mini-ITX board probably did so because they want a small computer, and the H200i isn't small, at least, not compared to its competitors. I...
