The new Samsung 750 EVO is only a slightly different beast than its predecessor, the 850 EVO, but the differences are all to the good.-The most salient is the speed at which it reads and writes large files. The 750 has a bit more cache, so you won’t work outside of its bounds as often—and when you do, sustained operations are a bit faster.
The icing on the cake? The 750 EVO is also less expensive than its 850 kin. The 500GB drive we tested is only $149 MSRP (and $139 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-750-EVO-2-5-Inch-MZ-750120BW/dp/B01AAKZRPW%3Fpsc%3D1%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAIRZJHS P2SKQIWVZA%26tag%3Dpcworld02-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165 953%26creativeASIN%3DB01AAKZRPW)), though much of the drop has to do with the general lowering of NAND prices. The 750 EVO isn’t the cheapest SSD out there, but it was within about $15 of that distinction when this was written. And given that Samsung is very good at this SSD stuff, perhaps a slight premium is in order.
