 What is 3D V-NAND and how does it differ from existing technology?
Samsung¿s unique and innovative 3D V-NAND flash memory architecture is a breakthrough in overcoming the density limitations, performance and endurance of today¿s conventional planar NAND architecture. 3D V-NAND is fabricated by stacking 32 cell layers vertically over one another rather than decreasing the cells dimensions and trying to fit itself onto a fixed horizontal space resulting in higher density and better performance utilizing a smaller footprint.

Optimize daily computing with TurboWrite technology for unrivalled read/write speeds
Achieve the ultimate read/write performance to maximize your everyday computing experience with Samsung¿s TurboWrite technology. You not only obtain more than a 10% better user experience than 840 EVO* but up to 1.9x faster random write speeds for 120/250 GB models** as well. The 850EVO delivers the top of its class performance in sequential read (540MB/s) and write (520MB/s) speeds. Plus, you also gain optimized random performance in all QD for client PC usage scenario.

* PCmark7(250GB ) : 6700(840 EVO) < 7600(850 EVO)
** Random Write(QD32,120GB) : 36,000 IOPS(840 EVO) < 88,000 IOPS(850 EVO)

Get into the fast lane with the improved RAPID mode
Samsung¿s Magician software which provides Rapid Mode for 2x faster processing data speeds* on a system level by utilizing unused PC memory (DRAM) as cache storage. The newest Magician increased the maximum memory usage in Rapid mode from 1 GB, in the previous 840 EVO version, to up to 4 GB with the 850 EVO when implementing 16 GB of DRAM. You also get a 2x performance* boost in all random Queue depth.

* PCMARK7 RAW(250GB) : 7500 < 15000(Rapid mode)

Secure valuable data through advanced AES 256 encryption
The 850 EVO comes fortified with the latest hardware-based full disk encryption engine. The AES 256 encryption-bit security technology secures data without any performance degradation and complies with TCG Opal 2.0. It is also compatible with Microsoft e-drive IEEE1667 so your data is protected at all times for your peace of mind.

Protect against overheating with a highly responsive Dynamic Thermal Guard
The 850 EVO¿s Dynamic Thermal Guard constantly monitors and maintains ideal temperatures for the drive to operate in optimal conditions for the integrity of your data. When temperatures rise above an optimal threshold, the Thermal Guard automatically throttles temperatures down protecting your data while maintaining responsiveness to ensure your computer is always safe from overheating.
