Tom's Hardware: "Last week, Samsung unveiled a successor to its wildly popular 840 at the company's Global SSD Summit in Seoul, South Korea. Stacked with a series of new features and 19 nm, three-bit-per-cell NAND, we benchmark four models and make a recommendation."
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon is running 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB of Samsung 860 EVO internal SSDs on sale with up to 38% off! Those who are in need of an internal SSD, can take advantage of these deals to save big on their SSD."
HAHA ludicrous pricing!
860 EVO £300 for 1TB or £650 for 2TB. That's some sale haha considering I purchase the exact same 1TB direct from Amazon about 2 weeks ago for £120.
ThePCEnthusiast: "Solid State Drives or SSDs are one of the most expensive type of storage for your PC. But it is also the fastest and most reliable kind of storage. Fortunately, prices of some popular and ultra-fast SSDs on the market have gone down. In this article I’ll show you five SSD brands, whose SSDs are on sale right now, specially the larger capacity. Check them out below."
The Tech Report: "The 840 Series offers solid performance at extremely affordable prices. It does have a weakness, though. The drive's TLC NAND costs less per gigabyte than the MLC flash typically used in consumer SSDs, but its write performance is somewhat compromised by the higher bit density.
Samsung has attempted to address that shortcoming with its next-generation successor to the 840 Series. The 840 EVO features a faster controller, newer TLC NAND, and a dedicated write cache populated with speedier SLC flash. There's a second layer of caching that leans on system memory, too.
Despite these enhancements, the 840 EVO retains the budget-friendly pricing of its predecessor. We've been testing one pretty much around the clock for the past few days. Let's see how it stacks up."
