V-NAND Technology and THE
SAMSUNG SSD 850 EVO
Series
Samsung’s unique and innovative V-NAND
flash memory architecture is a
breakthrough in overcoming the density
limitations, performance and endurance of
today’s conventional planar NAND
architecture. V-NAND is fabricated by
stacking cell layers vertically over one
another rather than decreasing the cells
dimensions and trying to fit itself onto a
fixed horizontal space resulting in higher
density and better performance utilizing a
smaller footprint.
The 850 EVO Series is the advanced
consumer SSD powered by V-NAND
technology that maximizes everyday
computing experiences with optimized
performance and enhanced reliability.
Optimized performance for
everyday computing
experiences
Powered by Samsung's cutting-edge V-NAND
technology, the 850 EVO M.2 delivers topclass sequential and random read and write
performance to optimize everyday computing
experiences.
The 850 EVO M.2 is seamlessly integrated
with V-NAND, MGX controller, DRAM and
software for high optimization. Like the 2.5”
form factor model, the 850 EVO M.2 maximizes
user experience with trace-based benchmark,
which means
form factor flexibility for SATA 6Gb/s interface
by providing various yet standardized option.
Therefore, you can enjoy Samsung’s latest
that the 850 EVO M.2 gives

technology no matter which form factor your
device supports.
Reinforcement of TurboWrite
Technology
Samsung was the first one to introduce
TurboWrite technology to sequential write
performance in the early stages of the 840
EVO Series. With TurboWrite Technology, write
speeds have been significantly accelerated
during data transfer by creating a highperformance write buffer in an SSD. If a
consecutive write operation (i.e. no idle time)
exceeds the size of a buffer, the transfer will
exit TurboWrite and be processed at ”After
TurboWrite” speeds. Once the buffer is cleared,
the TurboWrite performance will resume.
However, since the buffer size for TurboWrite
is more than sufficient for everyday computer
use, users can experience accelerated speeds
for most workloads.
Guaranteed endurance and
reliability for maximum use
Guaranteed endurance
The 850 EVO Series delivers guaranteed
endurance and reliability by doubling the
TeraBytes Written(TBW) compared to the
previous generation 840 EVO Series backed by
an industry leading 5 year warranty.
With twice the endurance of a typical NAND
flash SSD, the 850 EVO Series will keep
working as long as you do. All form factors of
the 850 EVO Series are guaranteed with a 5
year limited warranty or 75TBW for 120GB and
250GB, 150TBW for 500GB and 1TB.
Enhanced reliability with improved
sustained performance
Through enhanced reliability with improved
sustained performance, the 850 EVO Series
boasts long-term dependable performance of
up to 40% longer than the 840 EVO Series
with minimized performance degradation. You
can use it every day when doing work or
entertaining yourself knowing that it will keep
performing even with heavy daily workloads
over the years.
Advanced data encryption
Regardless of which form factor it is, the
850 EVO Series provides the same data
encryption feature as the 840 EVO Series does.
The Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) security
technology will help keep your data safe at all
times. The device is equipped with an AES 256bit hardware-based encryption engine to
ensure that your personal files remain secure.
A hardware-based encryption engine secures
your data without performance degradation
that you may experience with a softwarebased encryption. Furthermore, the 850 EVO
M.2 is compliant with advanced security
management solutions (TCG Opal and IEEE
1667). Magician will guide you on ”How to use
security features”. Moreover, you can erase or
initialize the data with the crypto erase service
with PSID.
Efficient power management
for all PC applications
Power consumption affects everyone. With
850 EVO Series, you actually save of up to 50%
more on power than with the 840 EVO Series
during write operations thanks to V-NAND
consuming half the power of 2D planar NAND.
Plus, whether you would like to preserve
battery life for longer cordless use or just save
costs, power management is important. Device
sleep signals the SSD to enter a low power
state which is vital for ultra-books and other
battery powered devices. With 850 EVO M.2’s
Device Sleep feature at a highly efficient 2mW,
you get longer battery life on your notebook
thanks to a controller optimized for V-NAND.
With the 850 EVO M.2, you can work and play
longer without having to plug in.

M.2 is a form factor specification for ultra-thin PCs. Commercially, M.2 is 22mm in width with lengths of 30, 42, 60 , 80 or
110mm. Samsung provides the most popular form factor with 22mm X 80mm model (i.e., 2280).
※ Since M.2 is a form factor specification, SSD manufacturers can produce various types of M.2 SSD with different interface
(SATA-based M.2, PCIe-based M.2 and NVMe-based M.2, for example). The Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2 is SATA-based.
