Samsung 850 120GB Listed Online
The hardware world is full of rumors. For example, there was one floating around speculating that Samsung would drop the Pro / EVO naming scheme for their new SSDs. Well, the Samsung 850's product page recently went live on the company's Chinese site, and the Pro / EVO suffix is no where to be seen. So, it looks like the rumor was true after all.
The Samsung 850 120 GB, which carries the model number MZ-7LN120, is the only model listed at the moment. According to the specifications table, the drive sports Samsung's MGX Controller, V-NAND 3 bit MLC flash memory, and 256 MB of LPDDR3 DRAM. In terms of performance, the Samsung 850 is capable of delivering sequential read and write transfer speeds of 540 MB/s and 520 MB/s, with random read and write IOPS that top out at 88,000 IOPS and 70,000 IOPS respectively.
Samsung backs the 120 GB model with a three-year warranty and coverage for up to 100 terabytes written.

samsung XXX SSD: regular craps...

samsungXXS SSD Pro: high end or enthusiast craps...
That is how it should be used, but nowadays brands name and rename products like... a monkey eating bananas...
Thanks again marketing for destroying as much as possible all the brading now days with the best seller words "Pro, gaming, or RGB" tag almost everything...
What do they make? :D:D
:slap:
However I might buy an evo someday for my desktop to store some more games.
99% of users do not need a 5 year warranty.
This is either an incomplete product lineup or Samsung took a step backwards.
I always built my PC on the best warranty I could find for a good price. My psu has a 10yr along with an 850 Pro.
Don't sell yourself short because other people might, 3 years is something I expect from a HDD not an SSD from the top manufacturer.
3 years is a good number and better than a lot of others, you do pay for the extra warranty so yeah it means some thing to me but the extra cost for a 5 year warranty , no thanks.
Maybe they have a plan to release some thing later but we will have to see. but most users don't need it.
