\u201cThe new 860 PRO and 860 EVO SSDs combine the latest 512Gb and 256Gb 64-layer V-NAND, up to 4GB LPDDR4 mobile DRAM and a new MJX controller to elevate the user experience for both consumers and businesses,\u201d said Un-Soo Kim, senior vice president of Brand Product Marketing, Memory Business at Samsung Electronics.<\/strong> “Samsung will continue to fuel meaningful innovations in the consumer SSD space and drive growth of the overall memory industry for years to come.”<\/p>\n

As file sizes continue to increase with high-resolution photos and 4K videos, the need for faster data transfers and sustainable high performance over a longer period of time has become paramount for users. To address this need, Samsung\u2019s 860 PRO and 860 EVO support up to 560 MB\/s read and 530 MB\/s write[1]<\/sup><\/a> speeds and offer unmatched reliability with an upgraded five-year limited warranty[2]<\/sup><\/a>, or up to 4,800 terabytes written (TBW)[3]<\/sup><\/a> for the 860 PRO and up to 2,400 TBW[4]<\/sup><\/a> for the 860 EVO. The new MJX controller also enables faster communication with the host system. The controller is powerful enough to handle workstation storage, while improving Linux operating system compatibility.<\/p>\n
