Review on Samsung 860 PRO 256 GB SATA MZ-76P256BW solid state drive by Stanisaw Pirkowski ᠌

Make your own inferences from the evidence. If I were to buy it right now, I'd go with the Samsung 850 PRO or another model that was less expensive but had the same level of quality as this one, the Samsung 860 EVO. As can be seen from the review on 3dnews, the contemporary Samsung 860 PRO is pricey, and I would not pay more than I needed to get it. These are some advantages: I like the way this SSD works, therefore I use it. Very content with everything. Prior to that, about a year ago, I was given a Seagate Firecuda 1 TB 2.5 HDD as a gift. It is a hard disk drive that is quite good to some degree and is worth the money. Yet, it was obvious that Windows 10 sometimes loaded it at its maximum capacity; hence, it has been installed next to this SSD in place of the DVD Rom drive. Con: I'd like to give a quote from 3dnews.ru, which runs SSD tests and shares the results with its readers. In our tests, the Samsung 850 EVO, which is the direct ancestor of the Samsung 860 PRO, demonstrated the highest level of dependability. Now, a more recent iteration of the 860 PRO has been added to the lineup of products offered by the company. It is based on an updated MJX controller and features enhanced internal algorithms in addition to a vertically compacted 64-layer MLC 3D V-NAND. When it came to dependability, this particular product was the clear winner; nonetheless, real-world testing demonstrated that "newer" is not always superior to "older." When compared to its predecessor, the updated version of the MLC drive turned out to have a practical resource that was more than three times worse than the one it replaced. Because of this, a South Korean company is now building MLC 3D NAND according to some other principles, which means that its durability is not at all higher than that of the currently available 64-layer TLC 3D NAND. The Samsung 860 PRO 256 GB sample only able to write 2,706 GB of data during the endurance tests, which is roughly equivalent to the endurance of the Samsung 860 EVO and 850 EVO drives.
