The Samsung 750 EVO (120GB & 250GB) SSD Review: A Return To Planar NAND
by Billy Tallis on April 22, 2016 8:00 AM ESTAnandTech Storage Bench - Heavy
Our Heavy storage benchmark is proportionally more write-heavy than The Destroyer, but much shorter overall. The total writes in the Heavy test aren't enough to fill the drive, so performance never drops down to steady state. This test is far more representative of a power user's day to day usage, and is heavily influenced by the drive's peak performance. The Heavy workload test details can be found here.
The Heavy test doesn't write enough data to fill a 120GB drive, and when there's still spare area the 750 EVO performs better than any other planar TLC drive. When the test is run on a full drive the 750 EVO suffers more than most and falls to the bottom of the rankings.
The penalty that the 750 EVO pays when filled is even more apparent when looking at average service times, pushing it into last place.
Even when starting on an empty drive, the 750 EVO's latency outlier situation isn't great, beating the ADATA SP550 but little else.
The energy usage of the 750 EVO only stands out for the full drive case. When starting with an empty drive, the 750 EVO uses less energy overall than the other planar TLC drives.

Can't you come up with a more insightful comment, rather than a personal jibe?Eden-K121D - Sunday, April 24, 2016 - link

Wouldn't embracing the internet mean using offsite storage or streaming content rather than storing it locally?cm2187 - Friday, April 22, 2016 - link

Crap. Does this mean that production of the 850 EVO will stop? God I hope not, the 850 EVO is still a clear winner in my mind.Kristian Vättö - Friday, April 22, 2016 - link
Absolutely not. The 850 EVO and PRO will continue to be available - the 750 EVO is just a new entry-level addition to the lineup.Coup27 - Friday, April 22, 2016 - link
What part of the article gave you that impression?trparky - Saturday, April 23, 2016 - link
I was thinking along the lines of the 750 EVO replacing the 850 EVO in the product lineup. That's something I hope doesn't happen.StrangerGuy - Friday, April 22, 2016 - link
Enjoyed the bottom to the barrel, cost cutting to the max 768p crappy laptop TN LCDs? Now coming to every future consumer SSDs near you.ingwe - Friday, April 22, 2016 - link
I'll take a cheap SSD over a shitty 768p panel any day!
