Specifications, Pricing and Availability
The 850 Pro also ships with all of the
latest check boxes filled in. On the security side, the drives use AES
256-bit full disk encryption and support both TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE1667
(Microsoft eDrive).
Samsung stepped away from the black and
orange color scheme slightly with the 850 Pro. The black remains, but
the orange is now closer to red than orange. The drive looks really good
in a case with an ASUS ROG board.
This is the first time we received a
full retail drive with the final production retail package. Not a lot
has changed other than the warranty shows 10 year limited. On my last
trip to Fry’s in Silicon Valley, we found the 850 Pro drives on the
shelf. We spent some time looking at the retail packages on all the SSDs
at the brick and mortar store. A few of the drives listed performance
numbers like the 850 Pro. Comparing the information on the packages, we
think Samsung does a really good job showing the performance and
features on the retail package.
The retail package includes the SSD,
two paper manuals, a pair of stickers, and a software disk with the
software. You can also download the software via Samsung’s website for
the latest version.
The drive is a 2.5″ form factor with a 7mm z-height.
The label on the back shows the model and serial number. The case is made from machined aluminum.
Inside the case we found a very small
PCB that could be used in a 1.8″ form factor should Samsung decide to
build a smaller drive. Between the case and the PCB was a piece of
thermal transfer material that was almost as large as the circuit board.
Samsung makes all of the components used on the 850 Pro, from the controller to the flash and the DRAM.
The 850 Pro uses the same MEX controller that Samsung used on the 840 EVO.
Buffering the page table data is low power DDR2 DRAM. The 512GB model uses 512GB of DRAM.
The 512GB 850 Pro uses eight V-NAND flash packages, four on each side of the PCB.
