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.

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.
Impressive

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.
Corrected and cleaned up a bit.

10 year warranty is really funny - might as well say 50 or lifetime. I sure hope I am not using a SATA 6Gb/s device 9 years from now. I am basically thinking 3-5 on anything like this. The TBW150 numbers are tricky - in Samsung's own warranty the "more details" on that info is broken and takes you to a page not found. The actual wording of the warranty says TBW is "total bytes written". I think they mean terabytes but still the warranty does say bytes. http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/samsungssd/warranty.html

We have enough SSDs with just about the same read and write speed. They need to find new technologies that can use pci-express at full speed for affordable prices. But don't worry, somebody will release a new sata3 ssd tomorrow with the same read and write speed... again.

What do "i" care if its made with a holographic time tunnel... Is it faster? Nope, still using sata. Another engineering "fail". They will suffer the same prob sony had a few years ago, doing to many different things with "thousands" of variations.. The prosumer/enterprise customer is most likely running pciX already, so its not making any sense to release this and expect huge sales...

The main feat of the PRO's over the EVO line is reliability, so if the pretty much all of these can hit at least half of that 8TB... that's pretty impressive. It's actually when this becomes mainstream enough for 1TB prices to drop really low that we'll be able to ditch mechanical drives all together... but that's still a few years in I guess. And tbh I don't think we're going to see SSD speeds increase much more for the time being (except PCI-E variants), SATA is bottlenecking them.

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, un... Samsung 850 Pro Series SSD with 3D V-NAND Technology
even the 256gb is less then i pay for the 830 i have.... I still waiting for this 35 cent to gb that was mention earlier

Yeah, $400 for 512GB is ridic. I paid $200 for my MX100, and I be the performance difference wouldn't even be noticed.

8000TB/128 = 625000 PE cycles they should advertise that endurance level. thats a rather impressive result. not a big fan of the price here either. i tip my tip to such an impressive endurance level. i dare not worry about it anymore

They won't because they'll use that endurance level as a sales point for their enterprise drives. The other features they add to enterprise are harder to sell.

Scamsung at its best! Still happy with my 840 EVO which beats these new ones in several tests. It is time to ditch SATA and move on.

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.

My 830 has done 7.51TB and still going strong. Never had a problem.

Maybe you are correct. They are probably pricing these drives because of this 3D-V-NAN Technology.
