There can be no conclusion other than the fact the new Samsung 860 EVO shows green lights everywhere, and checks all the right boxes. It is getting rather saturated in the SATA3 arena and the performance difference is becoming more marginal at best.

ASK SAMSUNG TO MAKE IT GO FASTER !!!
FAST; FAST; FAST

The Samsung 850 Evo has been a favourite SATA SSD for some time, smartly combining excellent performance with a great price. Now, Samsung is back with an updated version, the 860 Evo, which improves on the original and bumps up maximum storage to a whopping 4TB.
Huge choice of capacity; Well priced; Good all-round performance; Excellent endurance
Not that much faster than previous drive
At close to three times the speed of spinning rust the SATA SSD also uses less power, is lighter, silent, and connects using a port that all desktop systems come with as standard.
My desktop PC never booted and responded so fast. The M2 module was extremely easy to install and was immediately recognized by the system. Installing Windows 10 on it, as well as all other software was a breeze.
Lightweight; easy to install
Be careful when you buy this product. You need to also buy a M.2 USB adapter to transfer your old data. Also the Samsung migration software which you have to download. did not work for me despite multiple attempts. I ultimately had to buy Paragons HD Manager to clone my old data to the new drive.
My local Office Max store where out of stock on these drives, so I had to special order one. And It sure was worth the week I had to wait for it. I downloaded the Samsung Migration software and the Magician driver software before installing the new drive to the PC.
almost effortless cloning; easy to use migration and driversoftware; inexpensive; fast and quiet
should have come with mounting screws
Samsung produces high quality SSDs like the 860 EVO and I highly recommend this SSD for the price and the long lifespan. The installation is easy and requires only 3 minutes of work. Just to let you know in advance, you will also need a SATA III cable to connect this to your motherboard.
Best of all, the 860 Evo isn't some overpriced luxury: the cost per gigabyte is perfectly reasonable for a 2.5in SSD of this calibre, at 32.8p for 250GB, 30.4p for 500GB, 29.6p for 1TB, 30.8p for 2TB and 31.3p for 4TB.
Exceptionally fast; Long lifespan; Reasonable price
Modest sequential write speed increase
Please SAMSUNG, review your documentation as it's stated in your docs that 860 EVO is 3bit MLC.................................................. I think there is something wrong !
