I was thinking of buying one, but this has got me worried
It is the 840 evo not the 850 evo
There was a problem early on with the 850 evo, just like the 840 evo, but this was resolved in a firmware update a little bit after the drive launched.
yeah. it's with the 840 EVO drives. the 850s don't have this issue. as far as i'm aware the 840 EVOs have had these issues fixed after a firmware update.
The sluggish issue starts because the drive is falsely identifying corrupted read points. This problem invariably causes the SSD to repeat the read process multiple times and thus slows the drive’s performance.

Do it. The 850 is great. I'm very happy with the ones I have.
