    Exactly after 2 and something years it became useless just like that.. I thought I would get a Samsung because they are considered top-notch, but never again now... And since I had it for sure, I didn't take a backup and I got burned...

    I got this specific drive to replace the old HDD. I added it as the main drive by installing the operating system on it. It is fast and reliable; I have had it for just over 2 years and it has not caused me the slightest malfunction.

    This review is about the capacity: 500 GB

    I have a Samsung 860 EVO 500 GB for almost a year.

    It is extremely good.

    The attached image shows its performance in full performance mode.

    The benchmark program used is CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 64-bit and Samsung Magician.

    The SSD's performance is very good.

    I have a 500GB and a 1000GB in different laptops, for over a year and I have been completely satisfied.
    The laptops had mechanical hard drives before them and the speed difference is indescribable.
    I can also confirm that they are much faster than several low-cost SSDs that I have used without any performance issues over time.

    UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I installed it on a computer purchased in 2010 that had a 3.5" spinning disk... it's like I have a new computer...

    Very good disk BUT it achieves the promised iops (90,000) only with rapid mode, the activation of which voids the warranty and increases the temperature by about 10+ degrees. Otherwise, it reaches around 52,000 iops

    Replaced in a 6-year-old HP laptop
    I really didn't expect such a result
    The laptop, which used to open after a quarter of an hour or more, now opens in half a minute, measured
    The same applies to opening applications. Now I can open more than two without significant delay.

    Overall, I have no complaints! The only problem that occurred after its installation is that my laptop crashes when I open WebEx, Zoom, or other similar applications! I don't know what went wrong, with the previous hard drive that I had, which was much inferior, I didn't have such a problem! I even formatted it and still the same! Other than that, it gave speed to our very slow laptop!

    It is very good, I didn't buy it now, we have it for about a year, a friend of mine had it and I put it in the Compaq Presario CQ71 laptop with 4GB RAM & 2.2GHz processor.

    It is EXCELLENT! From opening the laptop in 4 minutes, now it opens in 18 seconds!
    I didn't clone the Windows 10, I simply reinstalled them, and now it flies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've had it for about a year. The computer boots up in a flash. Ideal for putting the OS on, but don't expect to have much space left for anything else. It's better to get separate HDDs for files and not overload it. So far, it has the same performance it had when it was brand new.

    I installed it in a laptop (Dell Inspiron 3593) as a 2nd SSD for data and games on SATA3Gen 6Gbps.
    I would have expected maybe even more MB/s in write since it is on a SATA3Gen 6Gbps port, just like the 850evo I have in the PC as the main one, which achieves more in both READ and WRITE than what SAMSUNG claims!
    But maybe it would achieve more MB/s in write on a PC than on a laptop. Who knows... Anyway, as a basic SSD in the laptop I have NVME so there is no issue. I have had the 850EVO for about 4 years with 95% health and it is a black dog, hopefully I don't jinx it. Let's see what the 860EVO will bring...!!!
    So far, I am satisfied!

    My computer is mainly for office work, etc... and maybe a bit of Adobe Illustrator that doesn't require much. Before, I had a 1TB HDD (nothing special in terms of construction), and my computer took 5 minutes to start up. As soon as I installed the new drive, the startup time decreased to 1 minute. 5* because it's turbo! And because it gave me 4 minutes of sleep before online classes!!!!

    I have the HP 250 G7 6EC71EA laptop, for DJ use, which I discovered has a slot for a second hard drive (I didn't know - it's not mentioned anywhere). I opened it up and installed the specific hard drive, with the help of a Hard Disk Connector. I freed up the main hard drive from music and now I have it as storage. The latency has dropped significantly, as well as the load of Traktor. In crystal disk, the read-write speed is over 500 mb/sec. The laptop generally works more smoothly. As storage, I could have gotten any SSD hard drive, maybe much cheaper, but I preferred the reliability of Samsung. I have three others in other machines, smaller ones, that I use flawlessly as primaries.

    The best SSD on the market.
    If the Samsung Magician software is installed, the disk is skyrocketed.
    In the photo I have attached, I have done 2 benchmarks.
    One without the rapid mode provided by the software and one with the rapid mode enabled.
    As we can see, as soon as the rapid mode is activated, the read speeds increase dramatically (even up to 7.5 times higher).
    Purchase with closed eyes!

    Like the 850 before it, the 860 Evo is worth buying. For anyone with an older socket and a motherboard that does not support m.2, I believe that the 860 Evo is the best SATA SSD in terms of performance and price ratio.

    UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I installed it on a computer purchased in 2010 that had a 3.5" spinning disk... it's like I have a new computer...

    I have it somewhere for 8-9 months with a clean operating system installation. Coming from a hard drive, the speeds are incomparable, I enter Windows in seconds!! No problems so far!

    It was installed 1 year ago as a replacement for an old HDD. Honestly, it is the best there is. I am absolutely satisfied. The speeds are really what it claims and it gave new life to the 7-year-old laptop.

    Fastest. I have never seen such speed before. The construction looks durable. Definitely worth its money

    This is the 3rd one I'm getting. In a laptop that took 4 minutes to boot with the hard drive, it dropped to under 1

    I have the 500GB one here for about two years, of course I am satisfied and I will get another 500GB 870 at some point.

    Very good disk BUT it achieves the promised iops (90,000) only with rapid mode, the activation of which voids the warranty and increases the temperature by about 10+ degrees. Otherwise, it reaches around 52,000 iops

    Replaced in a 6-year-old HP laptop
    I really didn't expect such a result
    The laptop, which used to open after a quarter of an hour or more, now opens in half a minute, measured
    The same applies to opening applications. Now I can open more than two without significant delay.

    Overall, I have no complaints! The only problem that occurred after its installation is that my laptop crashes when I open WebEx, Zoom, or other similar applications! I don't know what went wrong, with the previous hard drive that I had, which was much inferior, I didn't have such a problem! I even formatted it and still the same! Other than that, it gave speed to our very slow laptop!

    It is very good, I didn't buy it now, we have it for about a year, a friend of mine had it and I put it in the Compaq Presario CQ71 laptop with 4GB RAM & 2.2GHz processor.

    It is EXCELLENT! From opening the laptop in 4 minutes, now it opens in 18 seconds!
    I didn't clone the Windows 10, I simply reinstalled them, and now it flies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've had it for about a year. The computer boots up in a flash. Ideal for putting the OS on, but don't expect to have much space left for anything else. It's better to get separate HDDs for files and not overload it. So far, it has the same performance it had when it was brand new.

    I installed it in a laptop (Dell Inspiron 3593) as a 2nd SSD for data and games on SATA3Gen 6Gbps.
    I would have expected maybe even more MB/s in write since it is on a SATA3Gen 6Gbps port, just like the 850evo I have in the PC as the main one, which achieves more in both READ and WRITE than what SAMSUNG claims!
    But maybe it would achieve more MB/s in write on a PC than on a laptop. Who knows... Anyway, as a basic SSD in the laptop I have NVME so there is no issue. I have had the 850EVO for about 4 years with 95% health and it is a black dog, hopefully I don't jinx it. Let's see what the 860EVO will bring...!!!
    So far, I am satisfied!

    My computer is mainly for office work, etc... and maybe a bit of Adobe Illustrator that doesn't require much. Before, I had a 1TB HDD (nothing special in terms of construction), and my computer took 5 minutes to start up. As soon as I installed the new drive, the startup time decreased to 1 minute. 5* because it's turbo! And because it gave me 4 minutes of sleep before online classes!!!!

    I have the HP 250 G7 6EC71EA laptop, for DJ use, which I discovered has a slot for a second hard drive (I didn't know - it's not mentioned anywhere). I opened it up and installed the specific hard drive, with the help of a Hard Disk Connector. I freed up the main hard drive from music and now I have it as storage. The latency has dropped significantly, as well as the load of Traktor. In crystal disk, the read-write speed is over 500 mb/sec. The laptop generally works more smoothly. As storage, I could have gotten any SSD hard drive, maybe much cheaper, but I preferred the reliability of Samsung. I have three others in other machines, smaller ones, that I use flawlessly as primaries.

    The best SSD on the market.
    If the Samsung Magician software is installed, the disk is skyrocketed.
    In the photo I have attached, I have done 2 benchmarks.
    One without the rapid mode provided by the software and one with the rapid mode enabled.
    As we can see, as soon as the rapid mode is activated, the read speeds increase dramatically (even up to 7.5 times higher).
    Purchase with closed eyes!

    Like the 850 before it, the 860 Evo is worth buying. For anyone with an older socket and a motherboard that does not support m.2, I believe that the 860 Evo is the best SATA SSD in terms of performance and price ratio.

    It is by far the most reliable. I have purchased several SSDs and the Samsung evo 860 is the best choice in terms of speed, size, and price.

  • Exactly after 2 and something years it became useless just like that.. I thought I would get a Samsung because they are considered top-notch, but never again now... And since I had it for sure, I didn't take a backup and I got burned...

  • I got this specific drive to replace the old HDD. I added it as the main drive by installing the operating system on it. It is fast and reliable; I have had it for just over 2 years and it has not caused me the slightest malfunction.

  • I have a Samsung 860 EVO 500 GB for almost a year.

    It is extremely good.

    The attached image shows its performance in full performance mode.

    The benchmark program used is CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 64-bit and Samsung Magician.

    The SSD's performance is very good.
