I paid £160 for my first SSD which was a 128GB Crucial M4 in October 2011 and since then I've used lots of other SSDs in personal and client builds from SanDisk, OCZ and Samsung mainly. I bought the M4 because at the time it was one of the fastest drives available and crucially it had one of the most stable SATA controllers, which was important at the time because a lot of drives had fairly unstable controllers and often caused a lot of problems such as blue screens of death and system crashes. A few years later and after having used SanDisk and OCZ SSDs, the Samsung SSDs had become extremely popular especially when the 840 was launched in 2013 or 2014. I bought my first Samsung SSD in July 2014 to replace the SSHD that I bought for my ThinkPad which was an 840 EVO 250GB and since then I have only bought and recommended Samsung SSDs. After that I bought an 850 Pro 256GB for a build I did in November 2014, then an 850 EVO 250GB in March 2015 to replace the 128GB OCZ Vertex 4 in my desktop and recently this 850 EVO 500GB to replace that 840 I had in there previously. I used to be very active on an online forum and I've recommended these 850 drives to hundreds of people and I've never had anybody come back and say the drive failed or that they were disappointed with it. The 850 is a truly stellar drive - well-priced, fast and easy to setup. The chances are that you'll buy one Samsung SSD and then only buy them without looking at the other brands.The speed is great. This is probably the fastest SATA SSD on the market, when used on a SATA 6GBps connection you're pretty much guaranteed to get at least 500 MB/s read and write speeds with this drive. These drives were and still are exceptionally popular with members on the forum I used to post on and most people on there were able to get between 500 and 550 MB/s read and writes with these. For comparison's sake, the Crucial M4 I bought in 2011 achieved around 400 MB/s read and write and the OCZ Vertex 4 I purchased in February 2013 when it was the fastest drive available could achieve around 450 MB/s read and write, so for those upgrading from an older SSD this is a little bit faster. Most desktop boards manufactured since 2012 will have SATA 6GBps and most laptops made since 2012 or 13 will also have SATA 6GBps, but even on the older SATA 3GBps connection you're likely to achieve around 250-300 MB/s read and writes which is reasonable.Those upgrading from hard drives will notice a huge difference. A 5400 RPM disk usually found in laptops typically reads and writes between 90 and 110 MB/s and a good 7200 RPM disk typically reads and writes between 120 and 150 MB/s. An SSD like this is the best single upgrade you can do to increase general performance of your system and it's fantastic that these days it can be done quite cheaply - certainly a lot cheaper than it was in 2011 when I first bought an SSD.If you plan to stripe two of these in a RAID-0 configuration you're likely to get around 1GB/s read and write with these drives. Several users on the forum had these in RAID-0 and got these kind of speeds. I've presently got the 250GB 840 EVO and 250GB 850 EVO in a RAID-0 stripe set in my desktop and I get something like 1GB/s read and 990 MB/s write. The 840 and 850 are so similar that you can quite happily stripe them and the two drives typically get 500 MB/s read and write speeds in single drive configurations so you won't be losing performance by doing so. The speed is of course phenomenal but for day-to-day use I can't really see the difference between one and two of these drives, but for things like writing Adobe Media Cache and copying files there is a benefit to using RAID-0 on these drives.Of course, the benefits of this SSD are the same as using any other SSD. Compared to a hard drive everything is instantaneous, everything loads faster and the speed of your OS in general just improves dramatically. You'll never go back! You actually won't be able to, the speed of an HDD will drive you mad if you go back to having an OS installed on your HDD. In a laptop it can improve the battery life too, but I didn't really notice this when I replaced the SSHD in my ThinkPad with the 840. Speaking of SSHDs, if you're thinking about an SSHD instead of a large SSD like this because it's cheaper then think again. I had a 1TB SSHD, of which only 8GB was solid state storage for operating system cache, which meant that the OS would cache files to the 8GB solid state storage so it would boot and shut down quickly. but programs were ran from what was essentially a 5400 RPM HDD and the OS ran as if it were on a 5400 RPM HDD, so the benefits of the SSHD were minimal and it died on me after only a few months, luckily by which point I had replaced it with an SSD. When I bought my 128GB Crucial M4 a 500GB drive like this was way out of most people's reach - it would probably have cost close to £1,000. Even a 256GB SSD was out of most people's price brackets, but now with a 500GB drive costing around £140 and a 250GB drive costing about half that, there's no reason to buy an SSHD really especially if you own a desktop computer and can have a large hard drive to store data on. Even if this is your only drive, 500GB is probably big enough for you. Who really has more than 500GB of data?So, you'll never go back to having a hard drive as your boot drive and you'll also only buy Samsung SSDs after you've bought one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💾 Unleashing Blazing-Fast Performance: The Samsung 850 EVO SSD Review *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 April 2024* 🔥 The Samsung 850 EVO: A Game-Changing Solid-State DriveAs a tech enthusiast who's constantly on the lookout for the latest and greatest storage solutions, the Samsung 850 EVO SSD has caught my attention.

Highly recommended. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 20 July 2016* Bought this to replace an aged and very slow Seagate 500Gb HDD in my 7 year-old desktop running Windows XP Pro. The PC is reasonably high spec with 2.7Ghz processor, high performance graphics processor, medium spec Gigabyte motherboard and maximum RAM for XP. I chose the Samsung because I understand all the manufacturing is in house, resulting in more consistent quality control and higher reliability.After installing in a spare SATA position, I ran the data migration software, and after a couple of attempts it worked perfectly. The SSD fully supported XP and all my programs, and injected an astonishing breath of new life into my PC. A 5 minute boot-up was reduced to less than 15 seconds! And all my programs burst into a instant life, whereas before I often gave up waiting!Let me explain why it took a couple of attempts. Firstly - IGNORE the supplied CD. Instead go to the Samsung website and download the latest Data Migration and Magician software - if you use the CD it will force you to update anyway, which takes much longer. Secondly - you must disable your antivirus. The Migration will almost certainly not work with it running. I realised after the second attempt - the third attempt went like a dream.After the migration was complete and I was satisfied everything worked, I then did a clean install of Windows 10. I was tempted not to - because my XP PC was now so fast!! However, I went ahead, and again everything worked perfectly. I then modified my BIOS to enable AHCI mode (you can't do this in XP, only after you've upgraded to 8.1 or 10). After this I installed Windows 10 again to maximise the speed and power saving of the SSD. Again, it installed with no problems,Finally I used the Samsung Magician software to optimise the SSD. And WOW, my sequential and random read/write rates are now over a 100 times faster than my old HDD.This is an amazing upgrade. Effectively, I have a new super-fast PC for £125, plus Windows 10 for another £90. A bargain! Why waste money on a new machine which probably still wouldn't match the performance of my new re-vitalised PC? I strongly recommend this Samsung SSD, I will certainly upgrade my 2 laptop HDD's with Samsung SSD in the near future. ## Frequently Bought Together - Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E500B/EU) - Samsung 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E1T0B/AM - StarTech.com SATA to USB Cable - USB 3.0 to 2.5” SATA III Hard Drive Adapter - External Converter for SSD/HDD Data Transfer (USB3S2SAT3CB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/745187967-samsung-850-evo-500-gb-2-5-inch-solid-state](https://www.desertcart.at/products/745187967-samsung-850-evo-500-gb-2-5-inch-solid-state) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
