Samsung 850 EVO 120GB SSD (MZ-75E120B)
What is 3D V-NAND and how does it differ from existing technology?
Samsung’s unique and innovative 3D V-NAND flash memory architecture is a breakthrough in overcoming the density limitations, performance and endurance of today’s conventional planar NAND architecture. 3D V-NAND is fabricated by stacking 32 cell layers vertically over one another rather than decreasing the cells dimensions and trying to fit itself onto a fixed horizontal space resulting in higher density and better performance utilising a smaller footprint.
Optimise daily computing with TurboWrite technology for unrivalled read/write speeds
Achieve the ultimate read/write performance to maximise your everyday computing experience with Samsung’s TurboWrite technology. You not only obtain more than a 10% better user experience than 840 EVO* but up to 1.9x faster random write speeds for 120/250 GB models** as well. The 850 EVO delivers the top of its class performance in sequential read (540 MB/s) and write (520 MB/s) speeds. Plus, you also gain optimised random performance in all QD for client PC usage scenario.
*PCmark7 (250 GB ) : 6,700 (840 EVO) > 7,600 (850 EVO)
**Random Write (QD32, 120 GB) : 36,000 IOPS (840 EVO) > 88,000 IOPS (850 EVO)
Get into the fast lane with the improved RAPID mode
Samsung’s Magician software which provides Rapid Mode for 2x faster processing data speeds* on a system level by utilising unused PC memory (DRAM) as cache storage. The newest Magician increased the maximum memory usage in Rapid mode from 1 GB, in the previous 840 EVO version, to up to 4 GB with the 850 EVO when implementing 16 GB of DRAM. You also get a 2x performance* boost in all random Queue depth.
*PCMARK7 RAW (250 GB) : 7,500 > 15,000 (Rapid mode)
Guaranteed endurance and reliability bolstered by 3D V-NAND technology
The 850 EVO delivers guaranteed endurance and reliability by doubling the TBW* compared to the previous generation 840 EVO** backed by an industry leading 5 year warranty. The 850 EVO through minimised performance degradation allows sustained performance improvements of up to 30% over the 840 EVO proving to be one of the most dependable storage devices***.
*TBW : Total Bytes Written
**TBW : 43 (840 EVO) > 75 (850 EVO 120/250 GB), 150 (850 EVO 500/1 TB)
***Sustained Performance (250 GB) : 3,300 IOPS (840 EVO) > 6,500 IOPS (850 EVO), Performance measured after 12 hours “Random Write” test
