Massive capacity from a quality SSD. The dropping prices of solid-state drives is a good thing for the consumer. Driven down by the economic benefits of mass-produced NAND, it's now possible to purchase 250GB drives for £60 and a 500GB model for not much more than £100. Still rocking that mechanical drive? It's time to switch to an SSD.

But wait, some might say, citing overall capacity as one good reason not to invest in an SSD as the main drive in your PC or laptop. Samsung is looking to change that thinking with newer models of the extant 850 Evo and 850 Pro SSDs, now available in capacities of up to 2TB.

So how has Samsung increased the capacity to 2TB without sacrificing endurance as a direct result of manufacturing on ever-smaller processes, whose downside is interference caused by cramming more and more cells into a given area? There's no way around the fact that greater capacities need more cells so another method is needed.
