Samsung SSD 850 Pro (128GB, 256GB & 1TB) Review: Enter the 3D Era
by Kristian Vättö on July 1, 2014 10:00 AM ESTPower Consumption
Samsung has always been pushing hard with power consumption and the 850 Pro is another proof of their efforts. Slumber power is down by a bit compared to the 840 Pro and generally speaking the 850 Pro is one of the most efficient drives. Even load power consumption stays at below 2.5W, which is superb given the performance of the 850 Pro.

When will we see Vnand in smart phones? This 16gb Nexus 5 is brutal! Always out of space.ajlueke - Wednesday, July 2, 2014 - link
Page 1, "Scaling below 20nm was seemed", I believe you intended "Scaling below 20nm was seen".Automaticman - Wednesday, July 2, 2014 - link
Can current EVO 840 users upgrade to Magician 4.4 and get the benefits of RAPID 2.0 (assuming they have >16GB DRAM)?bsd228 - Wednesday, July 2, 2014 - link
just as RAPID support was extended to the 840 PRO, I would expect this to support the 840 pro/evo soon, if not right off the bat.Automaticman - Sunday, July 6, 2014 - link
Well, I was certainly able to upgrade to Magician 4.4, and it did take a couple reboots while it was re-activating RAPID. I am going to guess and say yes it seems to be the new version of RAPID, but I don't see anywhere that it actually says RAPID 2.0 or any indication of how much memory it has available.sirvival - Wednesday, July 2, 2014 - link
Ah ok.When I select the 470 in Bench there is no slumber so I got confused.
Since power cosumption is a big thing in Mobile could you do the following:
Bench the impact on the Battery of a Laptop due to a fast drive.
E.g. drive A is fast but has the downside that it draws more under load as drive B which is slower. But since its done faster it returns to idle faster.
I mean impact on real world scenarios.
Or how much power was used for bench x etc. and have a average per hour or something like that.

Thank you so much. You explained everything so well.Stokkolm - Thursday, July 3, 2014 - link
Newegg still has them for preorder at the more expensive price, hopefully they drop those before the release date.skarthikeyan - Monday, July 7, 2014 - link
Hi, How come random read is 106.8MB/sec and random write is 292.4MB/sec for the SSD 850 Pro 256 GB? Aren't writes supposed to be slower than reads?
