Samsung SSDs

The article I read is: Samsung Brings 3D NAND to Mainstream with 850 Evo SSD Line.

This is something that's pretty exciting for computer and/or storage enthusiasts, as solid-state drives have been sort of a mixed bag for a number of years, at least from my point of view. From what I remember seeing, SSDs with higher reliability or storage space has always been quite pricey, the cheaper ones are usually pretty decent in terms of reliability but not with space, and the cheapest ones are the ones that you would feel uneasy about buying.

I only own a couple of SSDs, and have only been using them to store video files; I've never really had the want or need to use SSDs in place of traditional HDDs mainly because of the price. Back then, I didn't really quite understand the reliability of SSDs, so I wanted to use them in such a way to keep the writes as low as possible, which is storage. However, things are different now that this article breaks down the reliability into something a lot easier to understand than "1,000,000 hours" for the mean time between failures.

The price points of the 850 Evo line seem about the same as other SSDs of the same capacity in terms of retail price, which will let the SSD line have a nice start once released.

I will still be doing what I have been doing with SSDs until the prices are low enough to where I can viably switch to SSD without being gouged in the wallet.
