The biggest downside of the 860 Evo 500GB is its high pricetag which will definitely push some people away because there are cheaper alternatives out there that perform just as good as the 860 Evo. Its steep pricing makes it difficult to recom

Lower Than Expected Native TLC Performance, The SATA Performance Ceiling
The 860 EVO 250GB is the strongest in the 860 EVO family. There are other 256GB-class SSDs that cost less, but the difference is smaller in this capacity. The 860 EVO 250GB is faster than the competition and you don't have to pay a big premium to get...

Our performance rating compares how effective the 500GB Samsung SSD 860 EVO performed in benchmark operations against competing SATA-based solid state drive storage solutions. For reference, Samsung specifications suggest 550 MB/s maximum reads and 520 MB...
The 500GB Samsung 860 EVO SSD fails to deliver in performance and comes at a premium price. For light users though, the EVO will probably get the job done and may be an option when pricing is more aggressive...

Samsung's 860 EVO and PRO is a welcome addition to the SATA SSD marketplace, but the class-leading endurance specification and faster controller are tempered by some apparent performance niggles. Perhaps we have been spoiled by each incremental Samsung pr...
The new 860 EVO series could have been king of the budget, but at its current pricing that crown remains to be in Crucial's hands with their MX500 series at 26 cents per GB for a similar sized SSD. Samsung tweaked the controller a bit and applied new vert...
