The editors didn't like

  • Slower write speeds
  •  
  • Mixed workload performance lagged behind the 850 Series
  • TRIM-related performance issues (significantly behind 850 Series)
  • Lower Than Expected Native TLC Performance
  • The SATA Performance Ceiling
  • Less long-lived than the MLC (2-bit) SSDs
  • SATA Is Old Hat
  • NVMe M.2 Drives Not Much More Expensive
  • Small 512MB DRAM cache buffer (on 250/500GB models)
  • 3-Bit MLC NAND offers less impressive sequential performance
  • Limitations with SATA
  • Performance
  • The Samsung 860 EVO 1TB performs really well when it comes to read writes speeds
  • Which it can average between 550MB/s to 560MB/s and a write performance of 520MB/s—which
  • Needless to say
  • Is a lot faster than the hybri
  • Expensive
  • 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

  • Small, but noticeable speed increases, Quadrupled endurance
  • SATA 3 protocol limits maximum potential
  • The Samsung 860 Evo is an undeniably better series of solid-state drives than their predecessors. They achieve noticeably faster speeds and offer quadruple the endurance. While we struggled to see the 860 Pro as a noteworthy upgrade, Samsung has brought i...

  • The big question is if we will go another four long years recommending a new EVO over other SATA SSDs. To answer that question, we'll have to see what happens as the 860 series matures. The 860 EVO's performance is very strong, but it has a few weak point...

  • Stylish and simple design, 4TB capacity available, Great performance (even faster than claimed), 5 Year warranty, Good endurance, Neutral, - Still pricey when compared to similar drives
  • After putting the 860 Evo through our test suite, the results are great. We saw it struggle in the random read test in AIDA64, but other than that, everything was way up there, even sometimes beating its more expensive brother, the 860 Pro; let it be note...

  • With the 860 Evo, Samsung has managed to squeeze every last drop of performance out of the ageing SATA 6Gbits/sec interface. If you have a computer with a more modern NVMe interface, you'll achieve better performance by buying a drive to match, such as th...

  • If you've got an NVMe PCI M.2 port on your system you'll probably want Samsung's 960 Evo in that form factor, but for everyone else the SATA model the new Evo is an excellent option.It's not substantially quicker than the model it replaces, but the extend...

  • New MJX controller, Uses LPDDR4, Power efficient
  • Too pricey in the budget segment
  • The Samsung 860 Evo is no doubt a good SSD to go for. You get good performance and a 5-year warranty period. Moreover, the improved MJX controller and the use of LPDDR4 ensures that your power consumption values are much lower. So you can always use the 8...

  • Good performance, Very high endurance ratings, Reasonable street prices, Choice of form factors
  • Retail listings for SSDs usually have much lower prices than what manufacturers quote. While the official MRP for the 250GB model (regardless of form factor) is Rs. 8,760, the MOP for the 2.5-inch variant is closer to Rs. 6,150 while the M.2 version goes...

  • Good overall performance, Well-designed Samsung Magician software, Comes with 1GB DRAM cache, 5-years warranty from Samsung,
  • Price is on the higher side,
  • Looking at the performance the Samsung 860 EVO 1TB is capable of, I would say that it's easily one of the best performing SATA III SSD I've used despite being more expensive than most of the SSDs available in the market. The Samsung Magician software for...
