  • Through introduction of the Samsung 860 EVO, Samsung has done two things that make the EVO a great introduction; they have made it current with their latest 64-Bit 3D TLC V-NAND and they have given more power to their MJX controller, thus creating faster...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • There is no doubt that the Samsung 860 EVO is an outstanding drive as it has set new high water marks for an SATA drive in most of our performance tests. The only minor reservation I have, is the relatively small size of the Write Cache in the 250GB model...

  • Outstanding endurance rating, Good overall performance
  • Mixed workload performance lagged behind the 850 Series, TRIM-related performance issues (significantly behind 850 Series)
  • 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...
