Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

I chose between the Samsung evo 860 and this disk (SKC600) for a volume of 512GB. I took this and did not regret it. PS If you are thinking about buying 256 GB First of all, there will not be enough space and at the same time the controller costs worse than in the 512 GB version (Slower write speed when writing a large file*) (Actual free space 476GB by 512GB*)

Pros
  • Windows and games load quickly. (10-13.4sec)
Cons
  • The code to activate the old disk copy application did not work. I had to reinstall Windows.

The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

I took it on 10/31/2022 for 5970, I urgently needed to replace the failed (after 8 years of active work in a working PC) Samsung 840 PRO 256GB. I restored the system from the image, everything immediately took off at the maximum speed for SATA. I am satisfied.

Pros
  • The maximum possible characteristics for SATA SSD, previously used drives from this manufacturer UV300 120GB
Cons
  • Not detected.

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

everything suits, I took it to increase the disk space with the computer, it began to load even faster than the old SSD disk.

Pros
  • completely satisfied, it works smartly, the speed does not drop. I've been using it for 3 months and everything is fine.
Cons
  • did not reveal

I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

If you look for information about sata ssd 860 evo from samsa, then there is even less fast cache, 25 versus ~ 40 for kingston. *If we discard the established marketing tricks and calculate the real volume, then 476 GB is available. In any case, of all the sata SSD drives (in the middle price category) that I had this most stable in speed, it’s not a pity to even write a review to help with the choice.

Pros
  • This disk, unlike many, has a stable speed of + - 510 MB / s for writing and reading. "Real" testing was carried out by moving a large array of data (folder with AC Odyssey 112GB, it took ~ 5 minutes) and whole files (42GB movie) from SSD M2 NVME EVO 970 back and forth. After overcoming the volume of recorded information in ~ 40GB (approximately the same buffer size), the drive reduces the "read speed" from + -505 MB / s to a decent 300 and continues copying steadily at this speed, the "write speed" decreases from 470 to 390-400 MB \With.
Cons
  • At the moment, it's hard to find any disadvantages other than the price, but this disc is close in quality and price to the well-known disc from Korea, so the cost is probably justified.
