Samsung Ssd 860 Evo
The new model also represents a nice improvement compared to the 860 Evo, with Samsung promising roughly 38 percent better random read speeds and a 30 percent improvement in sustained performance. The 870 Evo also features a five-year warranty, which is good to see. Speeds are consistent, even under heavy workloads and multi-tasking allowing for faster file transfer. The 860 EVO performs at sequential read speeds up to 550 MB/s with Intelligent TurboWrite technology, and sequential write speeds up to 520 MB/s.
I highly recommend it specially if you going to use it in a gaming rig. Margaret T Son would like to buy a bigger internal drive for his laptop. Brand name and sales price are the 2 main reasons I purchased this drive.
The synthetic tests are to determine the sequential and random read and write performance of the SSD. The Samsung 860 EVO line is a fast and reliable choice in the world of high-performance SSDs. These storage drives utilize SATA III, the latest generation of SATA technology, allowing for read speeds up to 550 MB/s. Additionally, TRIM and S.M.A.R.T. are both supported on Samsung 860 EVO drives. The 860 EVO series comes to market in the same 256GB to 4TB capacities as the 860 Pro we recently tested. The EVO series uses 3-bit per cell flash, but it reserves 2.3% of the NAND capacity for background activities and caching.
But, now with the 860 EVO, class-leading endurance is backed up with a factory warranty that covers the 860 EVO for up to 6x the endurance of the 850 EVO. This is one hell of an accomplishment over the bandwidth limited SATA interface. Like we stated in our 860 Pro review, we didn’t think we would see another SATA-based EVO coming from Samsung, but we are glad to be wrong in this case.
We haven’t tested a lot of SATA SSDs with SYSmark, but we are comfortable in saying that the 860 EVO likely delivers the best overall system performance of any SATA SSD with a TLC flash array. The 860 EVO sets another lab record for a TLC SATA SSD by scoring gigabyte gtx 1060 3gb 1600 with the responsiveness test. The reason we like PCMark Vantage is because the recorded traces are played back without system stops. This allows us to see a marked difference between scoring that other trace-based benchmarks do not exhibit.
Samsung SSDs are still the only SATA SSDs to crack 300 MB/s storage bandwidth. They are really in a class of their own when running moderate workloads. This time the 860 EVO gets the better of the 850 EVO when running moderate workloads, and this is despite a significant capacity disadvantage. With a partition on the drive and 75% full, we are not quite able to hit factory max random read specs.
Even looking at it from a different angle, I would bet that we still see over 95% of personal computers equipped with a hard drive, or a SATA 3 SSD today. That is an absolutely huge chunk of the industry and one that seems to get overlooked as we try and market systems with data throuGHput capable of over 3GB/s. Absolute fact… where you can see a massive upgrade when moving from a hard drive to SSD, the same can’t be said when switching from SSD to SSD…in typical consumer usage patterns. Flash technology has seen a whirlwind of advance from endurance, to capacity, price point, direction of use…and performance. You can look anywhere on this site and see that we love SSD speeds. We push and push to get our hands on the biggest and baddest, fastest SSD in the world.
This allows us to repeat the same workloads across a wide range of storage devices. This poor SQL performance carried on in our average latency test with the EVO has an average latency of 37,673ms compared to the PRO’s 40ms. When looking at SQL Server Output, the new Samsung 860 EVO had a very poor showing on our transactional benchmark with only 353.6 TPS, where as the pro version hit 3,136.1 TPS. Samsung has kept the overall design of previous models of the EVO with a black case and a light gray square on top of the drive under the Samsung branding. A large sticker that tells important information such as model and serial number as well as capacity takes up the flip side.
