Thanks to the new MJX controller the latest generation of V-NAND memory architecture optimised algorithms & Intelligent Turbo Write the revised EVO series is now even faster & more reliable The SSD 860 EVO is particularly impressive thanks to the consistency & lack of fluctuation in performance especially under rapidly changing load conditions & its high performance for longer-lasting read & write access operations in addition the Samsung 860 EVO series offers greater compatibility versatility & up to eight times more robust than its predecessors THE SAMSUNG 860 EVO AT A GLANCEAdvanced TLC V-NAND technology with 64 layers Powerful performance with up to 550 520 MBs Read Write Intelligent Turbo Write buffer for maximum write performance 1 TB storage capacity 98000 90000 IOPS Random Read Write Compact 25 format FAST RELIABLE & PROVEN TECHNOLOGIES
- THE SAMSUNG SSD 860 EVOThe drives from Samsung's 850 series have for a long time been the standard recommendation when choosing a new SSD Great prices the highest possible system stability reliability & compatibility & the maximum Write- Read- & access time performance
- these are the things that make Samsung's Solid State Drives sought after everywhere Each of these milestones have been achieved due to the fact that the Korean manufacturer controls all aspects & components of the flash memory & has developed them all in house from the memory cells to the controller & the firmware up to the SDRAM Cache With the 860 EVO Samsung has developed their own flash technology further while offering a very attractive entry level SSD as well Taken together these attributes make the SSD for everyone&8220; tagline even more pertinent As such the 860 EVO standing for evolution represents a product that builds upon its predecessors such as the 850-EVO- & 850 PRO series & continues to be situated just below the more expensive 860 PRO in performance terms However it does close the gap with its big sister & is almost on a par with with its professional counterpart in terms of speed HIGHER PERFORMANCE REQUIRING LESS POWERThe 860 EVO writes at up to 520 MBs & reads at up to 550 MBs which is sat the theoretical limit of the SATA 6G port The new MJX controller with its refined error correction capabilities has allowed the power requirements of the drive to be reduced even further The majority of these improvements are all thanks to the innovative use of 3D V-NAND memory cells Instead of attempting to constantly reduce the size of the flash memory chips (known as NAND) to achieve higher cell density Samsung has opted to stack the transistors vertically in 64 layers & in doing so has managed to achieve a marked increase in storage density Increasing the number of MLC flash cells functioning in parallel has also resulted in higher speeds & greater efficiency The resulting doubling of the drive's durability ie operating life is passed straight on to the customer in the form of a generous 5 year guarantee Samsung also reserves part of the 860 EVO as a Turbo Write buffer in addition to the previously available 1 GB LPDDR4 cache Of course Samsung also equips the 860 EVO with an extremely fast SATA 6G connection & thanks to its diminutive proportions the drive is also capable of fitting in every possible configuration in addition Samsung bundles Magician Software in with the SSD an excellent monitoring & data migration tool Note The use of the TRIM funciton requires the use of a compatible operating system Only Windows 7 & higher Mac OS X 10 & higher as well as Linux from Kernel 38 & up offer optimal support SPECIFICATIONDimensions 6985 x 68 x 100 mm (W x H x D) Weight approx 51 g Capacity 1 TBController Samsung MJXCache 1 GB LPDDR4NAND 3-Bit TLC V-NAND (64 layers Multi-Level Cell) Connection SATA 6 G Performance Read max 550 MBs Write max 520 MBs IOPS (4KB Random Read) 98000IOPS (4KB Random Write) 90000 Compatibility (Features) NVMe 11 TRIM SMARTAverage Operating Life 15 M hours Operating Temperature 0 to 70 &176;CShock Resistant up to 1500 GManufacturer's guarantee 5 Years Compatibility (Operating System) Windows 10 8 7 (3264bit) Mac OS X 10 Linux Kernel 38 & up
