Samsung 860 Evo Review
If you have a rush order, or need an item delivered on Saturday please call to request faster shipping. It’s been around since 2011 and is operated by Fulltext Media AB. Our aim is to provide reliable information and tips for everyone who builds their own gaming PC. The gtx 1080 8gb includes support for standard AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption. These figures are mostly lower than average compared to other SATA SSDs, but still higher in some areas than certain competing drives such as the Toshiba OCZ TR200.

Samsung’s fourth generation V-NAND, MJX controller and refined ECC algorithms give the 860 EVO, something that the 850 EVO was lacking – class-leading endurance. That’s not to say that the 850 EVO didn’t already have class-leading real-world endurance, because it did, just not on paper.
Look for Jon to bring consumer SSD reviews into the spotlight. The 860 EVO ties with the 860 Pro for the best-read transfer rate for any SATA SSD we’ve tested to date. The drives on our chart that are powered by Micron and SanDisk 3D flash deliver better write transfer rates than the 860 EVO. Disk response times are measured at an industry accepted standard of 4K QD1 for both write and read. Each test runs twice for 30 seconds consecutively, with a 5-second ramp-up before each test. We partition the drive/array as a secondary device for this testing.
The TurboWrite buffer size is upgraded from 12 GB to 78 GB. As you guys know, we’ve been testing NAND Flash based storage ever since the very beginning, and it is surprising to see where we have gotten. You get between 450 MB/s to 500 MB/sec on SATA3 which is the norm for a single controller based SSD. Next to that, over the past year, NAND flash memory has become much cheaper as well. With parties like Samsung, Toshiba and Micron the prices have now dropped towards and below the 30 cents per GB marker.
In a higher-end Core i5 or Core i7 system, the improvement RAPID mode brought about was so small that it could only be detected by benchmark software, if at all. Might be because Samsung itself has a hilarious way to try to mislead and lists it as “Samsung V-NAND 3bit MLC”. They can argue all they want but MLC defines 2 bit per cell and this is false advertising. Samsung’s decision to keep the PRO tier around and based on MLC NAND signals that they will almost certainly do the same for their PCIe SSDs.
For smaller components, this can help reduce overall shipping costs. The most frequently used benchmarking utility by many manufacturers for performance specifications. As ATTO Disk Benchmark uses compressible data rather than incompressible data, it results in higher benchmark scores.
That plus the lower cost and the extra form factors mean I’d pick it over the 860 Pro in a heartbeat. Samsung is upping the endurance rating on the SSD 860 EVO series gtx 1090 to up to 2,400 TBW on the max-capacity 4TB drive and up to 1,200TB on the 2TB drive we have here. The company is also offering a full 5 year warranty on the drives.
The test is similar to what we run on storage arrays and enterprise drives, just scaled back to be a better approximation for behaviors employed by the end user. The Samsung 860 EVO comes with a 5-year limited warranty and has MSRP of $94.99, $169.99, $329.99, $649.99, and $1,399.99 for the 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB respectively. Along with the Samsung 860 PRO that was announced at CES 2018 for high-end users, the company has also released a new 860 EVO. The EVO line is aimed for more mainstream uses for notebooks and desktops. There comes a time when we all just need to stop, sit back and think; take a look around and reassess our direction perhaps.
IOPS numbers are reaching the familiar 90,000 to 100,000 marker. Overall, the 860 series performance is maxed out at whatever your SATA3 interface can handle. Sequential reads performance wise are 550 MB/s and write performance is set gtx 1080 8gb at 520 MB/s . Samsung guarantees the 500 GB 860 EVO for 5 years or the TBW value, we’ll list that on the following pages though. Have a peek at the more budget-friendly 860 EVO, after which we’ll dive into a rather in-depth review.
Samsung remains fully committed to pushing the boundaries of the SATA interface. The 860 Series represents Samsung’s commitment to advancing and delivering the very best in the legacy space. When testing write transfer rates we have a rule of thumb. If any SSD cannot achieve 200MB/s with our write transfer test, that SSD will not receive a TweakTown recommendation.
