hey guys welcome back to our unboxed I'm your host Matt and today we have on-hand Samsung is not so new SSD 850 Evo released at the start of the year the Samsung SSD 850 Evo has been around for months now and around 380 dollars for the one terabyte model it's a serious deal for those seeking big SSD storage the only tempting alternative in the affordable SSD market is the crucial MX 200 one terabyte for a slightly more wallet-friendly 360 dollars if you kind of use that this says hey I can do with a bit more storage in this drive and sit back and relax because Samsung has got you covered into the new mouthwatering 2 terabyte model now it's a serious amount of high-speed storage unfortunately at $800 it's cheaper to purchase a pair of the one terabyte models but if you limited to just a single two and a half inch band you'll require a serious amount of SSD storage then the Samsung SSD 850 Evo 2 terabyte makes sense the reason for the added cost over to one terabyte models comes down to the fact that the two terabyte model makes use of the new Samsung MH X controller and more importantly a 2 gigabyte lpddr3 DRAM buffer whereas the 1 terabyte model features a one gigabyte LP ddr2 buffer the increased memory buffer means that the read and write performance remains the same with a claimed sequential read speed of 540 megabytes per second and a variety of 520 megabytes per second first up here are the sequential read results using crystal diss mark now as you can see that 850 Evo 2 terabyte roughly matches the smaller 500 gigabyte Drive with 528 megabytes per second the sequential write formats was again much the same in comparing the 500 gigabyte model and the two terabyte versions of the 850 Evo both were slightly faster than the crucial MX 200 one terabyte SSD and slightly slower than the 850 Pro the 850 Evo 2 terabyte was surprisingly strong when looking at the random 512 K read performance and provided similar performance to the 850 Pro the random 512 K rack performance is much more competitive and although the two terabyte 850 Evo was still faster than a 500 gigabyte it wasn't a great deal in it the crucial BX 100 series is surprisingly fast measuring for K read performance matching the 850 Pro Series the 850 Evo is around 50% slower with a throughput of 27 megabytes per second the 850 Evo 2 terabyte is much closer in performance to the BX 100 when measuring 4k right though it's still much slower than the more expensive 850 Pro the read access time for the Samsung 850 Evo 2 terabytes was impressive at around twice the speed of the crucial B X 100 and MX 200 the right access times were similar when comparing the budget SSDs though the 850 Evo was still able to outpace the bx 100 NM x 200 SSDs the 850 Evo 2 terabyte performed well in the PC Mac 7 video editing benchmark moving 280 megabytes per second of data making it much faster than the crucial B X 100 and ms200 SSDs it also performed well in the PC Mac 7 gaming benchmark with the throughput of 141 megabytes per second finally we have the storage bandwidth result from PC mark 8 and surprisingly that 850 Evo 2 terabyte was faster than the SSD 850 Pro with 300 megabytes per second performance wise the two terabyte model was no faster than the 1 terabyte model that shouldn't come as a surprise is even the 120 gigabyte model saturates the stylistics key bits per second bus that said performance was great and even power users will enjoy the 850 Evo the two terabyte model faces no real competition because other than is bigger brother the 850 Pro there were no other two and a half inch 2 terabyte SSDs on the market backed by a five-year warranty in a very reasonable endurance rating of 150 terabytes we're gonna see how you could go wrong with Samsung's SSD 850 Evo a 2 terabyte model especially just 40 cents per gigabyte this has been Matt for harbouring box let me know what you think in the comments hit like hit subscribe and we'll see you next time you
