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.
"With the new 850 PRO V-NAND SSD, Samsung is introducing the next major evolution of SSD technology, taking the lead in delivering high-density SSDs with outstanding endurance, performance and energy efficiency," said Unsoo Kim, senior vice president of branded product marketing team at Samsung Electronics. "We are fully committed to establishing an innovative computing environment by providing customers with leading-edge V-NAND SSDs with unrivaled performance."
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.

Perf seem to be the same from 840 Pro :
sequential read performance reaches up to 540 megabytes per second (MB/s), 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 only diff is sequential read : 540 against 550 for 850 pro !!!

write endurance is better mainly
Samsung said that they have a 128GB 850 Pro in their internal testing with over eight petabytes (that is 8,000TB) of writes and the drive still keeps going, so I tip my hat to the person who is able to wear out an 850 Pro in a client environment during my lifetime.

Pretty sure someones done a whoopsie with their conversions to EURO pricing there.
Shave about 15% off the dollar amount and thats what they will go for in Euro's.

Yes, I believe its meant to be €262 not €362 for the 256 GB version. I think the pricing is reasonable, it's new tech, it's what happens. Prices come down as the R&D is paid off.

Outrageous pricing coming from Samsung. When you think this sector of the industries pricing structure has dropped yr on yr and Samsung go and drop silly pricing like this. Not for me.
