<p>Amazon has a deal today on one of our longtime favorite solid-state drives: The 500GB Samsung 850 Evo is available for $150 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OBRE5UE/). While that’s definitely not the lowest price we’ve seen—during the 2016 holiday season, you could get one for about $135—it’s the best price we’ve seen in awhile. SSD prices are still inflated (http://www.pcworld.com/article/3171366/computers/pc-prices-will-continue-to-go-up-due-to-shortage-of-components.html) right now.</p><p>Samsung’s 850 Evo (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2856006/samsung-850-evo-review-3d-nand-and-insane-endurance-for-the-masses.html) has been around for close to three years, but we’re still big fans of this SSD. In our 2014 review, we gave it a high rating when 3D NAND technology at the consumer level was still a new idea. It also has great performance and longevity, as well as being backed by a solid five-year warranty (http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/support/faqs-05.html). The 850’s pricing was also competitive when it came out, and it’s slowly becoming better as Samsung introduces newer storage (like its 960 Evo M.2 drives (http://www.pcworld.com/article/3131625/storage/samsung-960-pro-nvme-ssd-review-ludicrously-fast-pc-storage.html)).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3217752/computers/a-500gb-samsung-850-evo-is-150-today.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
