Rated 5 out of 5 by from Samsung 860 pro [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this ssd! It is very reliable and runs without a hiccup. You will not go wrong with this awesome ssd.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top of the line samsung is known for their ssd's and if you don't have an m.2 slot on your motherboard, then you definitely need to pick one up. an ssd is basically essential for all computer builds now. the 860 pro uses v-nand which is a lot faster under heavier loads compared to qlc, so if you are torn between the evo or the pro just get the pro. if you are working with large files or many small files this drive's speeds are unreal. windows boots in literal seconds, and large 1440p and 4k videos are copied over in seconds. samsung drives are best in class, and you should not settle for any less.
