Samsung is a force to be reckoned with in the SSD market. With such a large share, they are the biggest player there is. This allows them to push the boundaries of what products they can deliver and when. In today's case, Samsung has just released another update to their 850 EVO line, this time it is huge.

First launched in late 2014 (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=ecfee89801&e=1230c2ab07) , the Samsung 850 EVO has been one of the most successful storage products yet. With so many sold and consumers demanding more capacity, they initially expanded their capacity range to 2TB last year (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=94dd2526b2&e=1230c2ab07) , however, if you thought a 2TB SSD was enough, think again. Today we have in our hands a 4TB 850 EVO with their latest 48-layer V-NAND (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=be3d4fede7&e=1230c2ab07) . That's right, a 4TB consumer SSD! Because you wanted it, they delivered. With 4TB of capacity, the Samsung 850 EVO is the largest consumer SSD out. SSDs are now starting to nip at the heels of HDDs in terms of shear storage capacity and we don't expect it to be much longer until SSDs match
or exceed them, though the price may not be as great as we hope.

Because of its large capacity, it comes with an even larger price tag. $1499.99 to be exact (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=4b72595777&e=1230c2ab07) . While that is the cost of a whole gaming system and out of the reach of many, if you have the need for a drive of this size and the ability to buy one, there is nothing else currently comparable?except for something of the enterprise flavor, but if that were the case, you probably wouldn't mind a few of these on top as backup drives now would you? We sure wouldn't! Anyways, the thought of a 4TB in a laptop or desktop system used to be a dream to many, but now it can be a reality to some. Enough with the gibber gabber, let's get on with the review shall we?
