Samsung 850 Pro Series SSD with 3D V-NAND Technology
Samsung launched the 850 PRO, a new solid state drive (SSD) line-up featuring Samsung's cutting-edge three-dimensional (3D) vertical NAND (V-NAND) flash memory technology. The new Samsung 850 PRO, unveiled at the 2014 Samsung SSD Global Summit in Seoul, offers a new breed of performance for solid state drives and will be available globally across 53 markets from this month.
Based on Samsung's proprietary V-NAND technology, the new 850 PRO is ideal for use in high-end PCs and workstations. Samsung's V-NAND features a proprietary vertical cell structure and represents a breakthrough in overcoming the density limit currently facing planar NAND architecture used in conventional flash memory, yielding significant speed, endurance and energy efficiency improvements.
The Samsung 850 PRO delivers blazing-fast speeds and exceptional endurance, offering the highest level of performance among SSDs using the SATA III (6Gb/s) interface. Its sequential read performance reaches up to 550 megabytes per second (MB/s), with write performance of up to 520MB/s. Random read performance is up to 100,000 input/output operations-per-second (IOPS), with write speeds of up to 90,000 IOPS.
The drive also offers a Dynamic Thermal Guard feature, which maintains ambient temperature while operating and prevents potential data loss from overheating. The Samsung 850 PRO will be available in 128 gigabyte (GB), 256GB, 512GB and 1 terabyte (TB) storage capacities. With the accelerating consumer adoption of SSDs, Samsung anticipates that its new V-NAND SSDs will add to the growth of the branded SSD market with its outstanding performance.
The 850 Pro Series will be in stores the 21st of July - 129 dollar for 128GB, 199 dollar for 256GB, 399 dollar for 512GB and 699 dollar for de 1TB-version.
That's 120, 180, 360 and 630 EURO depending on local taxes, Samsung offers a 10-year warranty on the SSDs.

I have no idea what Samsung is smoking charging 400 bucks for a 512GB SSD heck even 200 for 256gb is outrageous considering the MX100 256gb is $115 bucks on Newegg.

It's not even being sold yet. The MSRP for the 512GB 840 Pro is $570 but you can buy one for $380 on amazon.
Also I'm pretty confident that Samsung knows how to price things competitively. If they are priced as high as they are obviously someone values the write duration enough for make the price justified.
