The Samsung 860 EVO has convinced us: It is now safe to equate TLC (Triple-Level-Cell) SSDs with top-notch SATA performance. TLC-NAND SSDs used to be more about affordability, but the 860 EVO is the third TLC-NAND drive we've tested that doesn't bog down on long sustained transfers.Â-(The other drives are the identical-except-for-the-label WD Blue 3D (http://bit.ly/2AOCTiD) and Sandisk Ultra 3D (http://bit.ly/2yzraHZ).)
We even quadrupled our normal 20GB copies, and the 860 EVO easily maintained the pace. In fact, despite being quite a bit cheaper, the 860 EVO's performance compares more than favorably with that of its 860 Pro (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3245407/storage/samsung-860-pro-sata-ssd-review.html) cousin.
