Samsung is banking heavily on 3D nand, with layer count increasing drastically. This stuff features 64 layers, while the OG 850 series used 32 layers. Effectively were getting 2x the storage per dollar. This will keep going. Industry is also looking toward QLC nand, which would allow them 4 bits per cell vs 3 in the TLC used here. 

At what point will we sacrifice durability for price so heavily that max TBW numbers actually matter? :P

I have 256GB 850 Pro and it's great, was thinking to get 960 Pro eventually though there's no such capacity. I'm looking forward what they will reveal next soon though. I'm in no rush. :)

Samsung making a budget SSD seems like an odd move.  The 850 and other lines from them are very popular for a variety of reasons but price has never been one of them.  Even the mainstream 850 EVOs tend to be significantly more than other perfectly acceptable options, so it will be interesting to see if they can actually gain any ground in the budget space.

To me one main selling point apart from the proven and trusted performance (in peak and sustained loads), the 5 year warranty is a big factor for the recommendation.

850 EVO/Pro product line is actually on the way out for 860 series within the next few months for the rest of us.

This would be great for my laptop. (I can't stand 5400 RPM) But it needs to be priced reasonably if they even want to release it in the US.

the sandisk and pny 120gb SSDs are fairly priced and perform pretty well. i switched my laptop to one from a 5400 rpm hard drive a little while ago and the difference was awesome.
