It provides a long-lasting experience for gamers, computer scientists and content creators.
Enhanced Performance with TurboWrite
With Samsung's TurboWrite technology, you get optimal read and write performance and therefore maximise your daily computing usage. In addition to a superior user experience compared to the previous generation, you also get much faster random write speeds.
The 860 PRO offers the best read and write performance, even when multitasking. The Samsung 860 PRO can offer write speeds of up to 530MB/s, thanks to V-NAND technology and its state-of-the-art controller, and read speeds of up to 560MB/s.

Outstanding Compatibility
Enjoy faster and smoother communication with your host system. The ECC algorithm and the new MJX controller generate higher speeds and improve Linux compatibility.
Software to keep you up to date and manage your data
Samsung Magician software is designed to help you manage your SSD through a simple and intuitive user interface. Receive notifications when new firmware is released and easily install updates to improve the performance, stability and compatibility of your SSD. Check your SSD's read and write speeds and maintain the highest performance. Select your security options to protect your data. The 860 PRO supports 256-bit AES hardware encryption and is compatible with GTC Opal and IEEE 1667.
Hassle-free replacement of a system HDD with this SSD
After a long wait (probably due to the consequences of the Covid crisis), I finally received my SSD.
I used the Samsung SSD data migration software to transfer W10 from the HDD to the new SSD. All the more easily as my laptop has two hard drive slots. Fine tuning with the Samsung Magician software completed the job.
The laptop is transformed. Thank you for your help.

Top!
New purchase to replace the previous one which left with some disreputable people who came back to my house without authorization...
I cloned the last backup of the previous disk and zou all is restarted as in 2021!
I don't notice any difference in speed which means that the previous one had not weakened during its 3 years of operation 17/24 7/7! ! !

We rely on quality.
The choice of an MLC SSD came to me after reading a bit about it. 256GB shared between the root partition and the home partition, and I'm in for many years, if the tests I've read are to be believed.
I've got one star less because the first disk I received was defective, but I replaced it without any problem by LDLC, whom I thank for their professionalism and their reactivity.

Excellent SSD for me the best (but it comes at a price)
I give the product 10/10 because although very expensive, has the Samsung 10 year warranty.
I have burnt one in the past, the Samsung warranty worked perfectly (subject to registration of the product on their site).
UPS came to pick up the SSD at home! and brought back a new one. Unbelievable.
As a C++ developer on a huge project, when you compile the whole project, hundreds of thousands of read/write cycles are performed. The NAND cells don't like it, hence the risk of premature destruction.

Excellent product
The only thing that needs to be improved is the non-existent estimated delivery date information. Amazon should be your example as it allows you to know when you will get the product and this is sometimes more important than the price

The top of the top SSDs
I opted for Samsung for this time, and the version with the longest life of this SSD, therefore the PRO.
I use it for Windows 10 and all my software.
I'm sure that a classic SSD with a rate above 500Mb/s would do almost as well if you don't have the budget for this PRO version, which has a better lifespan than many others, it will always be a thousand times better than a physical hard disk and will be cheaper than this one, but I had a prank with a sandisk SSD (although a very reputable brand) and I lost a lot of important data, despite my "regular" backups.
I chose to put a price on it to avoid the same thing happening to me.
That said, barely a week after purchase, Crytal disk already shows me a 99% health status with a "wear level number" of 1%.
We'll see with time if it gets worse quickly, or if it's normal and will stay at this stage for a long time. I hope so at this price.

Good product but ...
It does what you want it to do, but you pay full price for the brand.
I think you can find cheaper ones for similar results. It's not a few extra iops that make the difference (not noticeable). My son wanted a capacitive SSD. If I had to do it again, I would look at other products.

Replaces a 256G SSD840 Pro.
According to Samsung Magician the 860 Pro is faster than the 840 Pro!
Samsung quality!

Not so fast
After a few tests, I don't really notice any difference with the not "PRO" model. For the price, go for the cheaper model
