Outdated Product
High performance 500 GB SSD with SATA3 interface. It has standard dimensions for 2.5″ form factor devices and a thickness of 7 mm. It is positioned as a product of the middle price category, focused on use as a system or additional drive for personal and mobile computers. Can be installed in HTPC systems and compatible all-in-one models. Suitable for equipping mobile workstations of primary/middle class, demanding access time and speed of disk operations. Allows you to increase the speed of launching the operating system and applications by 3-4 times. The hardware basis of the Samsung 860 EVO MZ-76E500BW SSD was a combination of a high-performance Samsung MJX controller equipped with a 512 MB DDR4 DRAM buffer with proprietary 64-layer 3D TLC V-NAND flash memory, which is reliable and resis...tant to wear. Thanks to SLC caching technology, the drive demonstrates excellent performance as a system drive and other typical usage scenarios. With support for 256-bit AES hardware encryption, the drive is compliant with TCG Opal and IEEE 1667 standards, which are used for strong cryptographic information protection for business use. The impressive claimed recording resource of 300 TB allows you to record more than 80 GB of data daily for 10 years.

expensive SSD without screws, wires, and other delights
26 January 2022 
the PC acceleration issue has been resolved. Reinstalled Windows on the SSD.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 Rev 2.2
CPU: i3 2130 (with integrated graphics)
RAM: DDR3 2x4GB
HDD: 500GB
The SSD along with the SATA 3.0 cable and delivery cost 4.5k RUB
- high speed compared to HDD
- system boot speed - 15 sec (was 1 min 20 sec), browser/this computer load speed - 1 sec (was from 10 sec to 1 min when cold)
- browser, my computer, any windows open almost always in 1 sec
- reliability (but time will tell, reviews were ok)
- SATA 3.0
- only paperwork included in the package
- lucky to have leftover screws from the PC assembly
- if there's nowhere to attach it in the case, a special mount for 1-2k on AliExpress is needed (+ waiting)
- a bit expensive (3k rubles would be optimal, but 4k is already a bit too much)
LETS DO SMTHuse Samsung MZ-76E250BW less than month
Samsung makes sense for the tech-savvy, the rest are just knockoffs of Samsung.
28 November 2020 
Top-notch drive. For those who crave top speeds. If you've been puzzling over this like I did, I suggest not skimping on a drive. Alternatives costing 1000 UAH will be on a Silicon Motion controller without a buffer, and the speed will be weak. If you need speed, go for Samsung. If you need savings, then Crucial MX500. Forget about Goodram, Kingston, and Transcend. I don't understand why everyone is negative about Samsung; I believe buying a terabyte drive is clearly either for working with files, where a buffer is essential, or for games, which need to be installed. That's why the buffer is crucial, in my opinion, to maximize performance. The drive has longevity in usage and comes with a warranty. I believe paying an extra 500 UAH for a drive priced at 3500-4000 UAH is a tiny amount, yet you'll end up with a rocket.
Speed
Some guys who have watched reviews like "don't get Samsung, it's overpriced" might feel that smaller capacities like up to 512GB are that way, but when it comes to downloading to and from the terabyte versions quickly, as someone who owns a top PC with top-notch internet, I want to achieve maximum speeds in the process.
Daniill Fominuse Samsung MZ-76E1T0BW few months
Whether it’s worth it or not, decide for yourself, I took it for 250 GB, it’s worth the money
21 March 2020 
Bought it just today, overall satisfied with the purchase, but there’s disappointment regarding lags, I expected more from this SSD.
Low temperature (30 degrees)
Beautiful numbers in the benchmark
Warranty period
Price (I don't know who complains about the price, but for a 5-year warranty period, the price is justified, better than getting a Chinese product for 2 months and for 1000 rubles cheaper)
Lags (for some reason there are lags in the browser, although I rolled up a clean system, otherwise I didn’t notice any lags; it’s unknown what’s causing it, if anyone knows, please tell me)

Evolution

For a long time, the Evo 850 drive from Samsung was considered almost the benchmark of a solid state drive. By the onset of a new round of price wars, the company approached fully armed and launched the ideological heir to the 860 EVO, which became a little cheaper and got rid of most of the ancestor's shortcomings.

Stable and flawless performance in all scenarios

Firstly, the claimed write resource in the new drives has doubled, which is perfectly combined with the high practical endurance of the Samsung TLC 3D V-NAND and allows you not to lose the warranty with fairly intensive use of the SSD. At the same time, the warranty here is 5 years, and not 3 like most inexpensive SSDs. Secondly, 64-layer 3D TLC NAND with doubled capacity crystals provides approximately 20 percent more storage density. Thirdly, problems with the TRIM command in Linux OS have disappeared. With all this, a high read / write speed and a high IOPS, which indicates the total number of input / output operations per second, have been preserved. And the speed drawdown when copying large amounts of data is 15 – 20% lower than most inexpensive SSDs.

No flaws

All this leads us to the following conclusion: from the point of view of an ordinary user who is unlikely to need to “drive” hundreds of gigabytes of data there daily, clogging the SLC cache, the performance of the Samsung 860 EVO is enough for the eyes. If we talk about options for 1 TB and more, then thanks to the parallelism of flash memory arrays, we get faster performance than the 850 EVO in absolutely all scenarios. In other words, it is very difficult to claim performance of the 860 EVO.
