Samsung 500GB 860 EVO SATA III 2.5" Internal SSD

The 860 EVO 1 TB gave us the solid mainstream performance we've come to expect out of Samsung's EVO line. We distill the overall performance rating using an older SATA SSD as a baseline. To compare each drive, we then take the geometric mean of a basket of results from our test suite.

: The best TLC-based SATA SSD available, but it can’t justify its high price premium

• +

  Significant power savings, Five-year warranty, Very fast

• -

  High price

Faster and longer-lasting than the 850 Evo, yet still competitively priced, this is the new king of SATA SSDs

• +

  Exceptionally fast, Long lifespan, Reasonable price

• -

  Modest sequential write speed increase

There can be no conclusion other than the fact the new Samsung 860 EVO shows green lights everywhere, and checks all the right boxes. It is getting rather saturated in the SATA3 arena and the performance difference is becoming more marginal at best.

  none that I know of.

My 2011 Macbook Pro was starting to feel very slow and the thought of upgrading from El Capitan 10.11 to High Sierra 10.13 pushed me to replace my internal hard drive.The installation and set up were easy and the performance is superb.

ASK SAMSUNG TO MAKE IT GO FASTER !!!

working good and very fast to start the operative system and other programs.

Excellent equipment to improve performance compared to the old HD. Easy installation and configuration.I have used it on another PC and laptop for over 1 year, very good.

Simple to install with the Samsung data migration tool. It copied all of my old HDD incl the Windows software to the new SSD. Start up is really quick now and stable.
