Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1tb M 2 Ssd
He also covers storage including SSDs, NAS drives and portable hard drives. He started writing in 1986 and had contributed to MicroMart, PC Format, 3D World among others. On the previous SATA 850 Evo the drives came in sizes from 120GB to 1TB, and they used a mix of the Samsung MGX controller and the older MEX chip . The minimum cache was 256MB , the 250GB and 500GB drives got double that, and 1GB of LPDDR2 was on the 1TB drive. At this time none of the major SSD brands makes a 4TB SSD that’s SATA connected, so unless you have a system that can accept and RAID dual 2TB drives then options are limited. Those that want raw unadulterated performance need NVMe PCIE connected SSDs, but as a drop-in replacement for a hard drive or older SSD, the Samsung 860 Evo has plenty of enhancements to justify buying one.
VDI Monday Login once again saw a big spike in latency before the EVO peaked at 1,000 IOPS and a latency of 2.1ms. The PRO version on the other had made it to nearly 12K IOPS before going over 1ms and peaked at 13,267 IOPS and a latency of 2.4ms. VDI Initial Login showed a start for the EVO above 1ms and a large latency spike before dropping down to 1,993 IOPS with a latency of 30ms. The 860 PRO had sub-millisecond performance until about 11K IOPS and peaked at 13,376 IOPS with a latency of 4.2ms.
The Samsung Magician software for the SSD is optional but it’s surprisingly well designed and packed with functions that you’d normally find on better SSDs and its proprietary software. Though I would like to point out that the 3bit MLC 3D V-NAND naming for its TLC NAND flash that is somewhat misleading, as some might think that it’s actually using MLC NAND flash because of the naming. Developed by a Japanese coder that goes by the nickname Hiyohiyo, CrystalDiskMark is one of the most frequently used SSD Benchmark utility to measure SSD’s read and write performance. Samsung’s 860 SSD has been one of the standards for PC parts since it was released in 2018. Now, the company is announcing its successor, the 870 Evo, its latest SATA SSD designed for consumer use that brings faster speeds and lower prices.
Photoshop used to take approx 2 mins to open, now approx 20 secs. Illustrator used to take approx 2.5 mins, now opens in approx 25 secs. I had to pull very hard and it did unseat the locking clamp that holds the ribbon cable to the board, but it was easy to push down the clamp and plug in the SSD. You will need to order a data transfer cable ($4 e-Bay) to be able to run Samsung’s data transfer app. I went from a 500gb HDD that was at 95% capacity to a 1tb SSD. it won’t let me post details but please see the attached photo.
As The Vergereports, the company is debuting a new launch, the 870 Evo. It has the newest SATA SSD which is optimized for user navigation that brings Samsung’s fastest speed so far at a lower price. Seeking Tech covers the latest and greatest in technology, which includes TVs, monitors, gaming hardware, printers, projectors, routers, speakers and more.
The drives capacity, V-NAND and SATA interface are advertised here. The 860 EVO is equipped with an AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption engine ensuring absolute security for your data at all times. Samsung’s SED technology is hardware-based, gigabyte gtx 1060 3gb ensuring full protection without suffering performance degradation that is common with software-based encryption. Additionally, the 860 EVO is fully compliant with TCG Opal and Encrypted Drive-IEEE1667 advanced security management solutions.
Samsung has updated its EVO line of mainstream SATA SSDs with the 860. The new SSD sees a very slight bump in performance and better endurance. The drive has a new controller and leverages intelligent TurboWrite technology to squeeze out quoted speeds of 550MB/s read and 520MB/s write. The 860 EVO comes in capacities ranging gtx 1090 from 250GB to 4TB with the upper end model coming out at $100 USD less MSRP than the 850 EVO did a year ago. For this test, we’re using a collection of test data that consists of large and small files ranged from 4GB to 100GB to see how well the SSD can handle these files when it’s filled up to 96% of its maximum capacity.
