Review on Sleek and Powerful: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD - Boost Your Device's Performance! by Adam Woods ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

I bought this drive to replace the "small" Samsung 850 EVO 250 TB, bought in 2022, which pleased with its speed and reliability, but became irrelevant in volume (installed it in a laptop). For 4 years, this disk has lost only 3% of "health", which influenced my decision to take the successor of the same company. I did not notice much difference, by eye, in terms of the speed of work with the previous one. There was a problem with the recognition of this disk by the Samsung Magician utility. The program and driver ate did not help. The reason was not obvious and, in principle, nowhere described. I still have a motherboard for the old Socket 1155, and so the SSD connected to an additional SATA port expansion chip, the utility refused to recognize it, although the OS recognized it and it worked quickly and stably. Having checked the ports, I decided to turn it on in the "native" one (one of SATA1, SATA2) and everything went smoothly . In general, the device is valid, I recommend it.

Pros
  • 1. Speed ​​of work (compared to competitors) 2. Reliability 3. Sufficient for the OS and most software volume 4. A free, non-buggy proprietary Samsung Magician utility that allows you to customize SSD performance to suit your needs.
Cons
  • The price is higher than competitors There were troubles with the recognition of Samsung Magician proprietary utility
