Samsung 860 Pro Series 1TB SATA III 2.5"
The 1TB 2.5-inch SATA III drive hits 560 MB/s reads and 530 MB/s writes with 100K random read IOPS, backed by MLC NAND and a DRAM cache for sustained performance. Its 4800 TBW endurance rating and 1,500,000-hour MTBF make it a durable choice for heavy write workloads, plus hardware encryption adds security. Best for workstation builders or content editors who need a reliable, high-endurance SATA drive for frequent large file transfers and long-term storage.

요약
The 30-Second Version
The 860 Pro is the cockroach of SSDs, it survives everything and never quits. Just make sure you actually need SATA before you buy it.
Pros & Cons
장점
- 4800 TBW endurance is absurd for a 1TB drive 100th
- MLC NAND means sustained writes don't fall off a cliff 99th

Performance
Here's the honest truth: 560 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write is about as fast as SATA III gets, but that's still slow compared to any modern NVMe drive. The random IOPS numbers are solid for SATA but nothing special. What surprised us is how consistent this drive stays under sustained load. The MLC NAND and Samsung's MJX controller keep speeds from cratering when you hammer it with big file transfers, which is more than we can say for a lot of cheaper TLC drives.

vs Competition
Against modern NVMe drives like the Crucial T500 or Kingston Fury Renegade, the 860 Pro looks slow on paper. Those drives do 7000+ MB/s while this one's stuck at 560. But here's the thing: if you're upgrading an older laptop or desktop with only SATA ports, those NVMe drives won't even fit. The 860 Pro is the best SATA SSD you can buy, period. The Western Digital WD_BLACK SN7100 and Lexar NM1090 PRO are faster, but they're NVMe-only. If your machine has an M.2 slot, get one of those instead. If it doesn't, this is your drive.

Value & Pricing
This is where it gets weird. The 860 Pro is listed anywhere from $200 to $699 depending on the vendor, which is a massive spread. At $200, it's a no-brainer for anyone who needs a bulletproof SATA drive. At $699, you're getting robbed. Shop around, check Newegg and Amazon, and don't pay more than $250 for this thing. The endurance is worth a premium, but not triple the price.

Overview
The Samsung 860 Pro is the SATA SSD you buy when you're done messing around. It's not the fastest drive on paper, but it's built like a tank and owners absolutely love it. The one thing to know: this is a reliability play, not a speed play. With 4800 TBW endurance and a 5-year warranty, Samsung clearly expects this thing to outlive your PC, your next PC, and probably the one after that.
Common Questions
Q: Is this drive worth buying in 2024 when NVMe drives are so much faster?
Only if your machine doesn't have an M.2 slot. If you're stuck with SATA, this is the best SATA drive you can get. If you have M.2, get an NVMe drive instead and save yourself the speed regret.
Q: How long will this drive actually last?
With 4800 TBW endurance, you'd need to write about 2.6TB every single day for 5 years to hit the limit. For most people, this drive will outlive every other component in their PC.
Q: Is the 860 Pro better than the 860 Evo?
For most people, no. The Evo is cheaper and fast enough. The Pro's MLC NAND and higher endurance matter if you're doing heavy sustained writes or running a NAS, but for everyday use you won't notice the difference.
Who Should Skip This
If you're building a new PC or upgrading a laptop with an M.2 slot, this isn't your drive. Go get a Crucial T500 or Kingston Fury Renegade instead. You'll get 10x the speed for the same money or less. The 860 Pro is for people stuck on SATA who refuse to compromise on reliability, not for anyone chasing performance.
Verdict
Buy it if you need a SATA SSD that will never die. The 860 Pro is the most reliable SATA drive we've ever seen, with endurance numbers that make most competitors look fragile. Just don't pay more than $250 for it. If you have an M.2 slot available, skip this and get an NVMe drive instead. You'll get 10x the speed for the same money.
