I have a Crucial CT 500 MX200 in my laptop which is only slightly slower (1065 Vs 1189)than the mSata 850 and a wee bit cheaper. I do like the Samsung support software though.

I still don't understand why these can't have a 1mm thick cover/case. Bare PCB is ugly as hell.

Would this ssd fit well with the m.2 slot on http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20990FX%20Killer/ ?

Great review!...
I'll be making the SSD plunge soon, and for the first time, and it will be my boot drive. I'm going to go with a 250GB+ size initially now that pricing is approaching a threshold that I can live with, but I had a couple of quick questions that some kind soul might condescend to help me with...:)
*How are these drives formatted, and what about cluster sizes? I'm guessing that as with platter drives, that < 4k, NTFS cluster sizes, while more efficiently using disk space would also add disproportionately to the overhead of the drive and tend to lower performance, but I'm not clear on that, actually.
*What about paging files? I can't see how maintaining a page file on the SSD could be anything except beneficial, but I just thought I'd ask...;)
*What is it about the Samsung EVO SSDs that makes them so popular? I've noticed that the 840 is listed as Amazon's best-selling SSD. Just curious.
*Would you recommend an 850 over an 840?
Thanks!

I'm getting same performance from my 850 Evo as in this review. Destroys my HyperX 3k which is kinda crappy drive.

fortunate one
I found a Samsung Evo Pro 1tb ssd Model # MZ-75E1T0B/AM in the garbage dumpster a few months back. It was un-boxed and at the very bottom of the dumpster. At first I thought it was a cheapo calculator or e-address book as they are so incredibly light, hells not much more than a credit card...well ok a bit more, after I got home I discovered it was a SSD. Knowing the price of these gems I figured it was probably a display model or broken defective. so I plugged it into my laptop and to my astonishment and joy it fired right up! I downloaded Samsung's magician software and updated the evo's firmware. The beauty runs just like I had paid the full $650.00 + that the very same store who tossed it out is asking for a boxed and wrapped NIB SSD.
I have made returns to this dumpster and have gotten some other great finds. Although nothing as fantastic as the Evo I wouldnt have been able to experience the benefits of a SSD had it not been a blessing and gift from the Gods.. Yes indeed ladies and gentlemen Samsung Evo's ROCK! :banana:

Wow! Nice review HH
Looks like one of those is a 'must have' for my up-coming Skylake build.
