Thank you for the article. When I saw prices on the 850 series start to drop I wondered if it meant a new product was on the way. (Or maybe that is just coincidental.)
It will be interesting to see benchmarks on the newer drives. It seems to me that the peak throughput is more or less limited by the SATA bandwidth. I wonder if there will be significant improvements in other measures such as random read/write performance that may more closely match typical usage patterns.
I also note that the lifetime endurance of these drives is double the 850 series which seems like a good thing for those that need it. Last time I looked at mine I projected over 20 years until I hit the expected endurance limit. I could replace them with drives that would last half a century!
Or some other mechanism related to aging would cause them to not last that long. (I would be well into my second teens if I lasted another half century. )

From Samsung's product page specs on the 860 EVO, 500 GB.
While that does double the 850 EVO's coverage, it's nowhere close to 4800 TBW, or even 2400 TBW. The 860 Pro shows the same 300 TBW. All that aside, doubling the warrany makes the $30 seem like an understandable price hike. LOL

I never for a moment thought otherwise. I read your contributions on the front page a lot, and the story on the 860 Samsungs was at your usual level of excellence.
