On the NAND side, the TLC evolution of V-NAND picks up from the PRO series which has been using V-NAND for half a year.

The architecture of the 850 EVO actually blends technology from both the EVO and Pro lines. This will allow the 850 EVO to offer a better user experience than 840 EVO as well as up to 1.9x faster random write speeds for the 120GB and 250 GB models, says Samsung. Under the hood lays 3D V‐NAND technology with TurboWrite for improved performance and Samsung’s in-house controllers. If the 840 EVO is any indication of how well its successor will perform, Samsung’s new SSD has a ton of potential to be relevant for a very long time. Samsung has really been hitting it out of the park with their storage devices these past few years, so we are always excited to see what their new SSDs are capable of with each iteration. The 850 EVO, announced today, is a mainstream client SSD that is designed for superior performance and reliability during everyday computing.
