by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/18/2018 05:16 PM | source: | 6 comment(s)

The page already has been taken down but yesterday the 860 Pro 4TB surfaced, today the EVO edition says hello to the public. The page showed both a 2.5" version with a maximum capacity of 4 TB and an m.2 form factor SSD of 2 TB.

The content has been taken offline again. The M.2 models will become available in versions of 500 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB, while the 2.5 "also sees a 250 GB and 4 TB model. The 860 EVO offers sequential transfer rates of up to 550 MB/s and up to 520 MB/s sequential writes, up to 97,000 IOPS 4K random reads, and up to 88,000 IOPS 4K random writes according to the product page.

Samsung mentions V-NAND, likely new 64-layer one. Back in October the SSDs already appeared in various databases as well. Also mentioned is that this new-generation flash has been rated for "8 times higher" thus better endurance than the 850 EVO series; with up to 2,400 TBW, for the biggest volume size SSD.

The new leak indicates a launch, very soon.

I have an 850 Pro in my PS4 Pro, and all I want is a 2TB SSD in my PC now. I'm so done with the 7200 though it has been good to me so far. The wait is almost over. So give it another two decades. We are finally turning the tides on SSD size, which in turn helps the overall price structure. But damn it has been slow going. This monster is ungodly expensive too.

Those Crucials are looking nice.

Last year changed my os drive from intel 330 to evo 850 while evo is by far much faster i literally noticed 0 diference other than the bigger space , it is safe to say as far you are buying a sata ssd if it is not some noname chinese part just buy the cheaper , when we talk about sata ssds

Those Crucials are looking nice. I thought that now is the time to retire my two Samsung 1TB HDDs and bought the Crucial MX500 2TB. The price & performance & size ratio is really good. It should arrive next week.

Yeah man I think I am pretty much in on that too. Samsung performance for the new 860s is basically the same, and they actually reduced the Pro variant's ten year warranty to 5 now lol. SSDs are basically all hitting a wall. Most of these graphs show it's almost pointless now to worry about performance. Longevity seems key and that number is now getting huge as well.
