The Samsung 860 EVO is designed for demanding home users who want to improve the performance of their PC or notebook. It uses TLC-V-NAND with 64 memory layers. The Intelligent TurboWrite technology with variable SLC buffer provides higher performance over longer periods of time compared to current TurboWrite technologies. Benefit from maximum compatibility and stability: Originally designed for data center SSDs, the new MJX controller processes data faster, performs finer error corrections, and supports larger drive capacities. In terms of reliability, the 860 EVO has again been significantly improved and achieves up to 8x higher TBW values (Tera-Bytes Written) than the predecessor model. The 860 EVO is equipped with the latest hardware-based hard disk encryption engine. AES 256-bit or TCG Opal 2.0 encryption secures data without degrading performance. It is also compatible with IEEE-1667 for Microsoft's eDrive. So you can sleep peacefully because your data is protected at all times. M.2 SSDs are installed on the motherboard via the M.2 socket. With this SSD, the data is transferred with SATA-III, which makes the compact size the main advantage. Due to their compact dimensions, M.2 SSDs are particularly suitable for use in Ultrabooks and Mini-PCs, but can also be used in normal computers.
