Features of the Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB:
1. 3D V-NAND technology:
Samsung's 3D V-NAND technology is a significant breakthrough compared to traditional planar NAND technology. With 3D V-NAND, cells are stacked vertically in multiple layers, enabling higher densities. This results in better performance, higher power efficiency and longer lifespan compared to traditional NAND SSDs.
2. TurboWrite Technology:
With TurboWrite technology, the 850 EVO simulates a faster SLC (Single-Level Cell) buffer that significantly improves write speeds, especially during intensive tasks such as copying large files. The buffer ensures that the SSD achieves a constant write speed of up to 520 MB/s.
3. RAPID mode (Real-time Accelerated Processing of I/O Data):
RAPID mode, which can be activated via Samsung Magician software, uses the system's memory as a cache to increase read and write speeds. This enables even better performance for repeated file access and particularly data-intensive tasks.
4. Energy efficiency:
The 850 EVO consumes less power compared to conventional HDDs and many other SSDs. Especially when idle, the energy consumption is only 0.04 W, which makes it ideal for use in notebooks as the battery life is extended.
5. Advanced Encryption:
The SSD offers 256-bit AES hardware encryption that is compatible with TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE 1667. This ensures secure data storage and makes it particularly interesting for users who need to store sensitive information, such as business or government data.
6. Dynamic Thermal Guard:
The 850 EVO is equipped with a Dynamic Thermal Guard that monitors and protects the temperature of the SSD. If the temperature of the SSD gets too high, it throttles the performance to prevent overheating and protect the hardware from damage.
7. 5 year warranty:
With a warranty period of 5 years or a TBW (Total Bytes Written) guarantee of 75 TB, Samsung shows confidence in the reliability and durability of the 850 EVO series. This means that even with intensive daily use, the lifespan of the SSD is guaranteed for a long time.
Applications of the Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB:
- Notebooks and Ultrabooks:
