The Samsung 850 PRO is a 2.5-inch SATA III solid-state drive with 512GB of 3D V-NAND flash. It is one of the last high-end SATA drives Samsung built, with sequential reads up to 550 MB/s and a 10-year limited warranty that most SATA SSDs no longer match. It suits older laptops and desktops that need a fast, reliable boot drive and cannot take an NVMe stick. Against current budget SATA drives it is built for endurance rather than speed, and against NVMe drives it is far slower, so it makes sense mainly where SATA is the only option.

Owners treat the 850 PRO as a dependable, long-lived SATA drive. Reviewers praised its endurance and consistency, while noting that SATA itself is now the bottleneck.
