Samsung to release budget 750 EVO SATA3 SSD

First off, I am wrapping up our 950 PRO review at the moment. We had a bit of a problem securing a sample. That review will be up next week. Now that said, Samsung is planning to release a more 'budget' EVO SSD, the 750 EVO model.

So the EVO model, (which will be named 750 EVO as the rumor goes right now), should be based on cheaper TLC based NAND. The transfer rates should be 540 MB/sec read and 520 MB/sec writes. As to why Samsung would name it 750 EVO ... I do have a clue .. Intel's fastest series is also dubbed 750 so there's nothing like creating a little market confision eh ?

The drive will get three years warranty with a low 35 TB written guaranteed. But with TLC ... well it's not my favorite NAND. Anyway this is a rumor just for now though backed with the screenshots, this enws was spotted on TPU (who mentioned this as M.2. unit, while it is a SATA3 SSD) who found it at Hermitage Akihabara.

See attached below the spec sheet.

850 EVO has been getting very delicious price drops of late, even the 500GB model. I'm not sure of the larger ones. I'm happy I haven't been in a hurry to buy one earlier. The industry is getting really interesting if this 750 EVO can be still significantly cheaper (not that I'd be personally interested in it). The competition will be sweating blood.

35 of TBW is really really low... I guess that this SSD is good for granddad and grandma, not really a good option for people that actually use the computer in a "normal" way (not even talking about power-users).

35 TBW for 120 GB model?

850 EVO TBW is 75 (120/250 GB models) and 150 (500 GB/1 TB models).

This is a step backwards.

Unless it's A LOT cheaper than the 850 (or the Bx100) then I don't really see the point of it other than undermine the Samsung brand.
