[SSD] Anyone Using Samsung 850 Pro?

[escksu]

How is the performance?

Cause right now I am using Plextor M6 Pro. Benchmarks shows that it is not as fast as Samsung 850 Pro so feel like changing. But wonder if it will make much of a difference in terms of real world performance.

Even a cheap Crucial MX100 will feel no slower than your M6 Pro.

lol wtf

Not likely. You'll see a difference in benchmarks and certain high-i/o functions not often encountered on a personal desktop.

One of the factor I bought it for was warranty.

10 years

Planning to get secondary ssd, aiming 840evo. Waiting for lazada to have sale.

There is little difference in today SSD for real world performance. You only see in benchmark.

I think you're mistaken, Samsung only offers 3 year warranty, it's Sandisk that offers 10.

 

[Assault]

It's Sandisk who copied Samsung's 10-year warranty on the 850 Pro series.. Samsung offered it first

If u dun do benchmark u won't feel the diff

 

[MoneyFace =p]

lol wtf

Going by this chart, your M6 Pro most likely won't even beat MX100 256GB.

I can buy an SSD 1/2 price of the most expensive SSD and I will not even see any difference.

Only 850 pro then have 10 yrs warranty.

Why u need a 10 yr warranty? Your hardware will be eol after 3 years, and most ppl will replaced them with newer and higher capacity models after 3-5 years

Imagine still having a 80GB IDE 3.5' with warranty today, sell for $2 also people don't want.

if it dies in 5 years time can claim warranty and replaced with newer model.

 

[muddle]

So who will be the first to offer 20 year warranty?

Next will be Lifetime. The Lifetime = until product EOL like d-link.

Like that nobody needs new hardware...

I hate to spoil the party but in 10 years, SATA as an interface may have become obsolete. I.E., the disk may still work, but there may not be hardware to plug it to.

Remember IDE, PCI, VGA, COM, LPT and many other EOL interfaces? The thing with computing tech is, we can't see very far ahead, certainly not a decade.

At any rate, in ten years, SSDs measured in the MB/s and GB capacity will appear stone-age next to TB disks with GB/s speeds.

I'll view the warranty as a vote of confidence for the drive's reliability under punishing workloads, and not much more.

Honestly I'll go for Intel's warranty over Sandisk's. 91TB and 128TB endurance rating vs Sandisk's 80TB. That's a bigger vote of confidence over some numbers in years, where everyone's usage will be different.

(Note: the 850 Pro has a 150TB rating )
