The SSD 850 Pro is the world's fastest 2.5" SATA SSD, while the SSD 850 Evo is arguably the best value going.īoth are based on Samsung's proprietary 3D Vertical NAND (V-NAND) technology which overcomes cell-to-cell interference by stacking cell layers in 3D like manner. Samsung has enjoyed a lot of success with its SSDs over the past few years and its current drives are as good as ever. That being said, let's move on to discover all of said significant upgrades.
The key upgrade as far as we can tell is the change from USB 3.0 to USB 3.1, providing the T3 series with the easier to use and more convenient USB Type-C connection. The company tells us that the T3 features several significant upgrades based on the T1's consumer feedback.
The new Samsung Portable SSD T3 drives will be available in four capacities ranging from 250GB all the way up to 2TB. Having lowered its T1 series to a new price bracket, Samsung has made room for a newcomer - no, not the T2 series, but rather T3. Now 13 months later the T1 pricing has been adjusted somewhat and the huge 1TB model can be had for just $360, 40% less than its debut price. Upon release the T1 series was $180 for the smallest 250GB model, $300 for the 500GB unit that we tested and $600 for the 1TB flagship. Having been based on an mSATA version of the company's SSD 850 Evo, the T1 shared similar performance to that TLC SSD, and although USB 3.0 doesn't offer quite as much bandwidth as SATA 6Gb/s, Samsung touted sequential read and write speeds of 450MB/s, which at the time was more than twice that of the fastest thumb drive we'd handled. Samsung's ultra-compact T1 SSD made a strong impression around this time last year when it topped our performance charts as the quickest USB 3.0 storage device we'd ever tested.
