Samsung has launched a 4TB version of its 850 EVO solid state drive, the first 4TB SSD for client PCs
The 850 EVO optimizes performance for your daily computing tasks, boasting sequential write speeds up to 520 MB/s with TurboWrite technology and sequential read speeds up to 540 MB/s. Plus, RAPID mode to further boost performance for up to 2x faster** data processing speeds by utilizing unused PC memory as cache storage.
The 850 EVO has a 5 star rating across 11,516 customer reviews on Amazon. The 4TB version is available for purchase now but won't ship until the end of the month. It costs $1,499.99.
Mark my words - magnetic hard drives will go the way of the dinosaur. This price will eventually come down - my first SSD 128GB purchased 4 years ago cost $350 AND IS STILL WORKING. I've never had an SSD crap out on me.
Its obviously targeting commercial use, most likely running servers. SSDs are superior components not only they save electricity bills, but also saves a ton of spaces compare to ordinary HDDs.
