Samsung EVO 850 SSD drive specs vs Intel 545S Series
First on the Samsung side..... someone said the EVO 850 is MLC. For some reason Samsung doesn't really say if they are TLC or MLC. Even if you hit their web site it doesn't say. I find that really odd. Does anyone know for sure?
Second... from what I can tell the EVO 850 is 32-layer and the Intel is 64. So... in layman's terms is the 64-layer something really impressive?

I am going to have to agree with you @dbrunton. I got in to a chat with Intel Support:
Me: The 545S series SSDs are 64-layer. What does 64-layer bring to the party?
Alek: Answering your question, this is most likely to be the way the memory is arranged bring more reliability.
Me: "Most likely to be"? You aren't sure?
Alek: I am sorry. I did not express myself properly.
Alek: What I meant is that it is related to the memory and the way it is arranged to provide more reliability.
Me: A drastic improvement?
Alek: Yes. As it mentioned here: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/ssd-545s-brief.pdf
Alek: Where it says Industry Leading Innovation
I really doubt it is a drastic improvement. What can you say about Intel?
