With the introduction of its 845DC EVO, Samsung continues down the path of taking well-received enthusiast-oriented SSDs and customizing them for the enterprise. We run the new drive through a battery of tests in order to determine its strengths.

So basicly it's the more durable version of the 840 evo much like opertons and xeons are to the FX and core i7 series.

Yes, that's a fair analogy. Just like the Xeon E3-1275v3 is an i7-4770K, but with ECC support.

I've yet to see an SSD fail due to read/write endurance. I only see them fail when the controller gets bugged, which seems to happen all the time, especially on loss of power.

I'm guessing this SSD doesn't have to new firmware code that extends life and speed.

Another win for the EVO. This SSD modified for enterprise workloads makes it a good buy for webservers.

Hopefully the price will go down after launch, and then I see this being the best choice of webhosts.

Cheaper and adequate for that workload.

Commending their execution would be a bit harsh, don't you think?

4KB random write, and average response time.

Nuff said.

You'd have to be out your mind to put TLC in a a critical environment.

The 845dc isn't necessarily the "worst enterprise candidate"; for one thing it wasn't the bottom in every test.

For another, it's more about VALUE and that's the main point of the article. I assume the top SSD's in this category were MLC not TLC and also more expensive.
