Samsung 860 pro announced with up to 4tb

Features Samsung 860 Pro

The Samsung 860 Pro is built with 64-layer 3D V-NAND memory technology alongside an MJX controller and cache that reaches 4GB of LPDDR4 memory in the highest capacity model. These disks reach a read speed of 560 MB / s and a write speed of 530 MB / s, which puts them at the limit of the SATA III interface, so the differentiation with the Evo comes from another side.

These Samsung 860 Pro stand out for offering much greater durability than Evo models, so the 4 TB unit can support a maximum of 4, 800 TB of written data, double the Evo version of the same capacity, so they are aimed at users. they need to be used very intensively. The key to this is that the Pro series is made with MLC memories while the Evo series opts for TLC memories, which are cheaper but also less durable.

They come in capacities of 250 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB and 4TB in formats of 2.5 inches (up to 4 TB), mSATA (up to 1 TB) and M.2 (up to 2 TB), all of them make use of the interface SATA III 6GB / s so performance is identical and only differ in form factor. Prices start at $ 94.99 on the 250GB model.
