3D V-NAND Technology and
THE SAMSUNG SSD 850 PRO
Samsung's 3D V-NAND flash memory is
fabricated using an innovative vertical design. Its
vertical architecture stacks cell-layers on top of
one another rather than trying to decrease the
cells' length and width to fit today's ever-
shrinking form factors. This architecture results
in higher density and higher performance using
a smaller footprint. Samsung's 3D V-NAND
technology is a breakthrough in overcoming the
density limits currently faced with the
conventional planar NAND architecture.
The Samsung SSD 850 PRO is a brand new
successor of the 840 PRO, Samsung’s premium
SSD product. The 850 PRO is powered by
Samsung's 3D V-NAND technology. In 2013,
Samsung mass-produced 3D V-NAND products
for datacenters which have already been proved
in the market. And Samsung is now releasing
the world’s 1
st
3D V-NAND SSD for client PCs.
Ultimate Read/Write
Performance
Powered by Samsung's own cutting-edge 3D V-
NAND technology, the 850 PRO delivers up to
twice the write speed than that of the traditional
2D planar NAND flash for ultimate read and write
performance. By changing to the layer
