Didnt try a clean install? But seriously how could you not of realised yours was a isolated case which was being caused by something in your setup. You are probably the only person in the entire globe to utter a sentence like "Lets just put it this way, I reverted back to a standard hard drive and never looked back, nuff said."
The 850 EVO was the standard by which basically all other consumer SSDs were compared against for roughly 3 years... I really doubt a significant number of 850s make for poor OS drives in the way you are experiencing. Either there's something else behind it or you have been very, very unlucky with the units you've bought.
I bught it on 20/11/2015 for £90.99. Over two years after and it's hot for £116.99
I dont want even to mention about situation with graphics cards because i want to cry.
It's actually going down, now for £116.99
All down to these crappy drives. They ok for storage, but OS is a no no

Lets just put it this way, I reverted back to a standard hard drive and never looked back, nuff said.
For starters, diagnostics showed that within 2 months, the random read/writes were 50x less than what they should be, no amount of optimisation helped.
Crushed the SSDs, slung in an old school HDD and hasn't missed a beat, although it is louder and the Power usage is more, but at least the PC is tip top.
Paid £145 for it. Still runs fast and no slow downs.
Sounds like something else wrong with your pc.
So back to the same price as the past week that l have been monitoring it then lol
That sounds a lot like you didn't enable AHCI.
There's 100s of thousands of user benchmarks of those drives, and I'd bet a large number of those are the primary (if not the only) drive in the machine: ssd.userbenchmark.com/Sam…477

So you're the person who wrote that bad review about Samsung SSD's then? We've all been wondering who it was
Either you've been terribly unlucky or not set them up right.... these must be the most successful SSD's in use by millions....
And that's one of the many reasons I'm still using Win 7
But support ends in 2 years for that so you maybe better to move sooner rather than latter
Which bad review? Kindly post the link, so I can add my very own bad review of these pap drives
Mind you, all these problems did start when I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10.....

Hmmm so possible dud Samsung SSD or possible dud Windows 7 to 10 migration..............I know which I think is more likely to cause most or all of your woes
As others have said, there was either something wrong with your setup, or the SSD itself. There is practically no way a standard hard drive should outperform an quality SSD like an 850 Evo. Even budget SSDs should significantly outperform a standard HDD.
I am running an 850 evo at the moment and it is crazy fast
Interesting.
I bought mine may 2016 for £105...
wow, perspective...
It is a pity!
The last memory I bought was £90 for 6GB of ddr3 ram.
Samsung are now producing 1TB chips, they can fit 35TB in a 2.5" drive. 9 controllers now in 1 chip.
If they could produce them in large quantities, drives will come down and kill off the mechs.
That is why they sold their hdd business.
We've seen it happen to tvs. crt to lcd.
I admire Samsung for their technology but I hate their crazy price fixing.
Wouldn't be surprised if Seagate, WD etc are paying chip makers to keep their prices high so they can churn out more mechs. It's near enough obsolete after the 1TB chips.
Lol, whatever you're smoking, i want the same
... Or RAM.
You're chatting 5h1t there lad!
And you need to go to specsavers lad... read again and look out for the words "I have".
youre an idiot
That about the top end of your vocabulary range Ritchie lad?
Maybe lay off the creatine and add a few more words to your repertoire...
Everyone else thinks you're an idiot too.
Sorry to hear about your experience man. I know a couple of people who experienced the same. It was a BIOS setting and they ended up killing 5 SSDs between them before they had that "a-ha!" moment.
