More details emerged, of Samsung's next mainstream SSD, the 850 EVO. The drive will launch in five capacities, starting with 120 GB, and including 250 GB, 500 GB, 750 GB, and 1000 GB variants. Built in the 7 mm-thick, 2.5-inch, form-factor, with SATA 6 Gb/s interface, the drive will be based on Samsung's next-generation 3-bit 3D V-NAND chips, with an updated in-house made controller. The drive is now expected to launch some time in January, 2015. It will offer lower price-per-GB than the 850 Pro series, and slightly lower performance; targeting the mainstream market.

So basically it will perform like any other regular SSD on the market right now...

 

The Pro was not much faster than all the other SSDs in the first place...

My 840 EVO boots up my OS from pushing the button to desktop in 4 seconds. I'm not quiet sure how much "faster" these new drives are gonna be getting.

Yeah and with them hitting the Sata-data limit , I do wonder WHY the 850 series exists in the first place. There is only so much more performance you can squeeze out of sata cables atm.

Putting the marketing aside, the 850 model is newer technology that mitigates wear and tear risk; meaning the 850's will last longer than the 840's.  Speed increases is *not* why you would upgrade from an 840 to an 850.
