The SSD to trust
The newest edition to the world's best-selling SATA SSD series, the Samsung 860 EVO. Specially designed for mainstream PCs and laptops, with the latest V-NAND and a robust algorithm-based controller, this fast and reliable SSD comes in a wide range of compatible form factors and capacities.
Enhanced performance
Speeds are more consistent, even with heavy workloads and multi-tasks. The 860 EVO performs at sequential writes up to 520 MB/s with Intelligent TurboWrite technology, and sequential reads up to 550 MB/s. The TurboWrite buffer size is upgraded from 12 GB to 78 GB for faster file transfer.
Boosted endurance
Safely store and render large sized 4K videos and 3D data used by the latest applications, up to 8x higher TBW (Terabytes Written) than the previous 850 EVO. The latest V-NAND technology gives you up to 2,400 TBW, or is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
Smart compatibility
Benefit from faster, more fluid communication with your host system. The refined ECC algorithm and a new MJX controller generate higher speeds, and the improved queued trim enhances Linux compatibility. Our advanced engineering makes the 860 EVO more compatible with your computing system.
Multi form factors
Whatever size your computer needs, there is an 860 EVO for you. Choose among the 2.5-inch size for desktop PCs and laptops, and the SATA-based M.2 (2280) or the mSATA for ultra-slim computing devices.

Buy a new laptop, they said. It's not worth upgrading it, they said. They were all wrong. This SSD has turned my little old laptop on the verge of retirement into a hyperactive three old on three bags of sugar. Awesome product. Buy a new laptop, they said.

I bought this SSD a couple of weeks ago to replace an aging laptop HDD and couldn’t be happier. The performance of the Samsung 860 EVO are phenomenal! My laptop is now booting up and ready for action literally within seconds rather than minutes. If you are looking for a tangible increase in speed of your computer, this SSD is the one you need (note that I am reviewing the 250GB here but any capacity should give you the same speed).

I've installed this SSD in an old iMac to boost the performance. What a difference! The iMac flies now!
The drive is well constructed and solid. Nicely packaged without being over the top.

I have been using these drives for a little over 2 years. Never experienced a failure, always just as fast as when brought.
Very good price for the performance this drive offers, despite the limitation of SATA3 speeds - most people won't notice a difference between this and NVMe.
Can't think of any cons.

This is my 4th Samsung SSD from PB tech, after having other brands fail and loose years of valuable data nothing but Samsung although all of the old Toshiba's that i replaced in my Mac mini still work.
I will be buying more of these Samsungs to save the Toshiba data from any malfunction in the near future

Awesome SSD. Have used this one in many builds and have no problems. Good, Fast, Easy to install. Great SSD for First Timers Awesome SSD. Have used this one in many builds and have no problems. Good, Fast, Easy to install. Great SSD for First Timers
Was using a 120GB 840 model for the OS in my main pc for many years with out issue. Decided to upgrade to a 250GB 850 model and put the older 840 into my HTPC as it's still performing flawlessly. Samsung SSD's are a good name at a fair price. Was using a 120GB 840 model for the OS in my main pc for many years with out issue.
