To SSD hard disk, the capacity is bigger and bigger already the trend, the larger capacity not only means more abundant space of use, mean higher service life too.
Such as the 4TB models in the Samsung 860 EVO series, the data life of up to 2400TBW, is 10 times the mainstream hard drive, with more confidence, but the 4TB capacity of the SSD at this stage the price is too expensive, 11,000 yuan price is not Ordinary people can get it.
Fortunately, Samsung also offers a variety of capacity combinations, the need to take into account the capacity, performance, price users can consider 1TB capacity, the current price of 2399 yuan, cheaper than the previous generation, while life is 4 times the previous generation.
The new generation of drives for the 860 EVO (and the 860 PRO) are Samsung's newest 64-layer stack V-NAND flash memory, also a 3-bit MLC or TLC type with MJX master, which has been upgraded from 550MHz to 1GHz Strong.
Compared with the current 850 EVO 1TB hard drive, Samsung 860 EVO little change in performance, read speed slightly increased to 550MB / s, writing speed and random performance has almost no change, after all, SATA 6Gbps interface restrictions, 2.5 Inch hard drive in the performance of little potential to dig up.
The 860 EVO's biggest upgrade comes from data life, up from the previous 150TBW to 600TBW, more than quadrupled, dramatically improving drive life.
Samsung 860 EVO 1TB hard disk appreciation
Specific products, Samsung 860 EVO 1TB hard drive packaging design with the previous 860 EVO 4TB is the same, not repeat them here, have to say that Samsung's product design style is quite tall.

Test platform and instructions
The test platform processor upgrade to the Core i7-8700K, the motherboard upgrade to the ASUS ROG Strix Z370-F Gaming, which is a game for gamers launched high-end game board, integrated two M.2 slots, support PC -E 3.0 x4 channels, and SATA channels.
Test Platform Description:
The test platform uses the mainstream consumer platform ASUS Z370F Gaming + Core i7 8700K, the system disk for the GALAXY Gamer 480GB, from the disk to the Samsung 860 EVO 1TB hard drive.
Hard disk information recognized by CDI
Samsung Magican software to identify information Samsung 860 EVO 4TB hard drive performance test
The SSD test project follows the new beta software we used in SSD Hengping, including CDM 6.0, AS SSD Benchmark 2.0, HD Tune PRO 5.7, Anvil PRO, and PCMark 8, as follows:
Samsung comes with the test
First look at the Samsung Magician software own test, read 562MB / s, write 533MB / s, random read 91796 IOPS, random write 86914IOPS, and the official nominal performance is almost the same, with the previous test 4TB version can Also very close, only slightly lower random performance.
AS SSD Benchmark 2.0 performance test
CDM 6.0 performance test
HD Tune read and write speed test
Anvil PRO performance test
PCMark 8 performance test
Theoretical test summary: 1TB version of the Samsung 860 EVO hard drive performance with the previous test 4TB version of the same line, the actual continuous read and write in 530MB / s, 500MB / s or so, SATA 6Gbps hard drive is already in the previous level.
At present, the main limitation of the SATA hard disk is the interface, so it should not be too tangled for the performance of the SATA interface hard disk drive, and mainly depends on the product brand, price, reliability and warranty issues at this point Samsung's hard drive more advantages.
Evaluation summary:
860 EVO 4TB version due to the high threshold, non-local players can not choose. This test is a 1TB version of the 860 EVO, worth much lower than the 4TB version, the performance of the two is almost the same, the official nominal read and write speeds are in the 550, 520MB / s or so, random performance has reached more than 90K, Measured with the close, it can be said 860 EVO 1TB version of the hard drive is currently on the market SATA 6Gbpx interface high-performance SSD hard drive.
Compared with the 4TB version of the price can not be reached, 860 EVO 1TB version priced at 2399 yuan, the price 850 yuan more than the current 850 EVO 1TB 100 dollars, the latter still in Jingdong to 2,499 yuan.
But for now, with less money, consumers can buy an 860 EVO hard drive with a data life of 600TBW, which is up to three times faster than the previous generation of 150TBW.
