I am not very impressed with the 870 series at all. I have two 870's and one of them developed issues after only several months of service. Also, just reading some of the bad reports on the internet about the 870's has turned me off. So, I continue to hunt for reasonably priced 2.5 inch 860's. When it comes to capacities of 1TB and larger, the 860's are priced much higher per GB then the 870's are at this time.

When it comes to SATA3 SSD’s, there were only 2 brands for me which I looked at – Samsung and Crucial.
This time I opted for this Samsung SSD 860 Evo 1 TB SATA3 to replace a standard HDD as a secondary drive in my laptop – there was already a Nvme SSD as a primary drive for system, etc, but I was fed up with speeds of traditional HDDs.
Installation was super easy – I simply replaced a HDD with SSD. Nothing complicated at all – just swap and connect.
After powering on, my computer detected SSD without any issues and the only thing required was to format it to to desired format. All done within 30 minutes.
Did the swap change anything?
Abuslutely yes. My games load several times faster, searching my photo collection is superfast as well as access to my music library. Video editing, encoding and audio editing are absolutely hassle-free.
SSD does not also generate any noise and generates less heat, especially with normal usage.
I tested my Samsung 860 Evo with AS SSD and CrystalDiskMark – results are great, as expected (disk is half full/half empty) - please see the photos attached.
A few details about Samsung 860 Evo 1TB SATA3 (different models may have different specs):
- NAND: Samsung V-NAND TLC (aka. 3Bit MLC)
- Controller: Samsung MJX Controller
- Cache: 1GB LPDDR4
- 5 years warranty or 600TBW
- SATA3
Would I buy it again?
Absolutely yes.
I cannot imagine going back to HDDs, especially not for tasks I use it for. I used Samsung SSD 840 Pro previously, so I knew what to expect from Samsung SSDs (although I could not justify spending extra for Pro series this time).
I understand that the price of this disk has not changed for years nearly at all, but the reason for is that it is probably the best SATA3 SSD, which can be purchased.
It is also a great disk for PS4/PS4 Pro, although neither Xbox One nor Playstation 4 make a full use of SSD technology. Loading times are still better though, sometimes cut by half. Tested with PS4 Pro out of curiosity.
10/10 score and full recommendation.
Warning: Please do not make a mistake and do not buy Samsung QVO SSDs unless you are absolutely sure you want QVO series for some, unknown to me reason. They can be slightly cheaper (but sometimes can even be slightly more expensive), but their performance and reliability due to use of QLC NAND in comparison to Evo and Evo Plus (TLC NAND) is a lot worse. They are still good SSDs in comparison to other brands QLC SSDs but in my opinion there is no reason to buy them as Evo SSDs are a lot better and for similar price.

First some background.
I had a 13-year-old VAIO laptop that was running Windows 7 (from a clean install). The laptop gradually got slower and slower (you know the 3-5 mins to boot up, 2-3 mins to shut down kind of thing) so I decided to go the SSD route.
Initially upgraded the laptop with a 500Gb Crucial MX500 SSD but then saw a good offer for the 860 EVO. The Crucial SSD had Windows 10 on (clean install using the Windows 7 key) and all of my usual programs (M$ Office, Gadwin Print Screen, VLC Media Player) and my WiFi printers configured so all I needed to do was clone this drive to the new Samsung Drive.
Plugging the 860 EVO into an external USB interface allowed me to clone the MX500 to the 860 EVO. I have used Acronis True Image for years but encountered a problem last year where it wouldn't detect a second internal m.2 SSD in another laptop and I was directed to use Macrium Reflect 7 (which is free). No problem sorting out the m.2 cloning. Anyway, back to the 860 EVO.
Macrium Refelect allows you to easily (using drag and drop) to move the partitions from one drive to another. This is important if upgrading from a smaller to larger hard drive - and this is why. If you make sure that the C: drive (or whatever drive/partition is to be used for data) is the LAST partition (i.e. the right-most one) with empty unallocated space to the right, you can extend the partition (either during the cloning procedure or later on in Disk Management) which enables you to use the whole of the new drive (i.e. you are able to use the extra space that you've paid for).
IMPORTANT: Before undertaking the cloning procedure, use Macrium Reflect to make a Rescue Disk *FIRST*
This will enable you to sort out a boot problem if after cloning you find that your new SSD won't boot. (go to Backup Tab.
Click on the 'Other Tasks' tab, click Create Rescue media --> select your device (CD/DVD or USB) --> 'Advanced' --> Click on 'Choose Base WIM' tab, click on 'Windows 10 PE (WADK)', click 'OK' click 'Build'. This puts a 'lite' version of Windows on the rescue media (Windows PE for those interested) and the various drivers for your pc.
One final note, it takes quite a while to make the Rescue Media so be patient!
Cloning:
To clone the MX500 to the 860 EVO took around 45 mins in total.
Swap the drives over (the internal MX500 --> external USB and the 860 EVO --> internal) and re-boot.
It *should* boot into Windows fine. If not, shut down the pc, insert your rescue media (see above) and boot from the rescue media into Macrium Reflect (note this may take several minutes of looking at a black screen!) Once booted, select the 'Restore' tab then 'Fix Windows Boot Problems'.
I bought two of these 1Tb 860 EVO SSDs - one cloned without a problem and happily booted into Windows at the first attempt whilst the second (in a different machine) needed the 'Fix Windows Boot Problems' noted above.
Now to the drives themselves.
They are fast(*) and have a large capacity. You can download (from Samsung) the SSD Magician software which allows you to monitor the state of the SSD and optimise it for your use. *DON'T use this software to clone your existing drive* Make sure that you click on 'Over Provisioning' in the Magician software and set the OP to 10% (this will increase the life of the SSD dramatically).
*Benchmarking this drive (using Crystal Disk Mark) showed that the main 'bottleneck' was the interface in these older laptops - so you won't get the advertised 550/520 MB/s speeds - except in recent pcs that use the SATA III interface. Both the Crucial MX500 and 860 EVO topped out at 284/266 MB/s which is about right for SATA II.
Whilst this is a review of the 1Tb Samsung 860 EVO, I have given detailed instructions as to how to clone your existing installation to help others.
There's not much to say about the drive itself other than it is large and fast and I can thoroughly recommend it.
I was looking to purchase a 1 TB Samsung EVO 850 when I noticed that the 860 EVO was now available and was also £40 cheaper so decided to read up a little on the drive before biting the bullet.
On paper the 860 EVO has been improved in nearly all areas however the most significant improvement is to the endurance TBW (TeraBytes Written) of the drive's flash memory which has essentially been doubled. In the unlikely event that you would come close to the TBW rating of the 850 EVO in normal daily use then it will take you twice as long with the 860 EVO. The drive also has a newer Samsung MJX controller and additional cache memory which improves the performance of the drive. The 860 also consumes less power than the 850 which should benefit laptop users, if only a slight improvement to battery life.
Performance-wise there is very little difference between the 850 and 860, however in my experience so far the 860 is marginally faster, if only by a few MB/s in various benchmarks. The problem is that these drives are already pushing the SATA interface to the limit and no single SATA SSD is really going to perform much better. If you really need much higher performance you need to look at NVMe drives instead as they eliminate the SATA bottleneck, however, older PCs and laptops will not support these types of drive.
One thing I noticed with the 860 was that it arrived in a smaller box that the 850 and as a result it doesn't ship with the CD that the 850 comes with. The CD came with the Samsung Magician and Samsung Data Migration software which is really useful if you are planning to clone your drive onto the new SSD and check the health of your Samsung SSDs etc. I would however always recommend downloading the latest version of these programs from Samsung's website if you plan to use them as the ones on the CD are normally a few versions behind. Not to mention that a lot of systems these days don't even have a CD/DVD drive!
Is it worth upgrading an 850 EVO with a new 860 EVO of the same capacity? Probably not. But if you are buying an additional drive, replacing a hard disk or upgrading from a smaller capacity SSD then I would definitely recommend buying the 860 over the 850.
I'm really impressed with the 1TB 860 EVO from Samsung. They appear to have improved again on what was already a brilliant product in the 850 EVO - I just hope the reliability and durability of the drive lives up to the claims
