It is very interesting how the 850 Pro scored substantially higher than the 840 Pro in the file copy test. I was pretty shocked at how much better it performed.
 
Well I was looking into an SSD, and as I format my PC whenever the mood takes me or a nice fresh install is on the cards, endurance was a factor. The Samsung Evo Pro 840 (256GB), Kingston HyperX 3k (240GB) and the Corsair Neutron GTX (256GB), had all made it passed a Petabyte of data writes.
Hopefully the Samsung 850 would have no problem in doing the same.
If I am going to buy an SSD I would either splash enough for a fast durable OS drive, or I want oodles of room.
And .50/gig, £/$1000 will get you 2TBs worth. Insane as a storage solution.
 
No more OCZ for me, I've been burn by them twice with failed SSDs. Samsung and Intel for me, they may cost more, but they are a lot better.
 
I purchased two 120GB OCZ Vertex+ SSDs over 2 years ago. They're used daily and never had an once of bother out of either of them.
 
Soon to come tho is tlc from toshiba , so maybe this just a warm up project b4 they start shipping affordable 0.5Tb disks no?
