Samsung Ssd Lifespan Test
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 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.
Samsung’s MJX controller offers many improvements over previous models including expanded system compatibility, a refined ECC algorithm and improved queued TRIM for Linux systems. The ’s endurance, though much lower than that of the 860 Pro, is still very high compared with other SSDs like the Toshiba OCZ TR200. You can write plenty of data to the Evo before it becomes unreliable.
Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product. For peak 4k write performance the EVO showed a much different performance profile than the 860 PRO. The drive started above 1ms (1.3ms) went to 10,876 IOPS at 4.3ms latency and then the drive shot up to 20.4ms in latency and dropped to 6,252 IOPS. The PRO on the other hand, had sub-millisecond performance throughput peaking at 47,241 IOPS and a latency of 161μs. These are the only memory modules on this SSD which means Samsung could have easily made this a 4TB SSD by adding two more modules on the reverse.
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 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 gtx 1080 8gb 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.
Compared with any conventional hard drive the 860 Evo just barrels along, and even compared with other SATA SSDs it isn’t a slouch. Bettered only by the Integral P Series 4 on reads, the 860 Evo is very close to the maximum practical speed for any drive connected using SATA III 6G/s technology. Write speed is also the best we’ve seen on SATA, gtx 1090 and is only trumped by those drives that use PCIe connections. Samsung tell us that mounted in there is a 64-cell layer V-NAND and the all new MJX controller, designed to enhance speed, reliability, compatibility and available capacities. With the SSD 970 EVO Plus, Samsung set out to address the disparity between sequential reads and writes.
