With modern solid-state drives practically flooding the bandwidth cap of SATA III, we didn’t think anyone could improve in this field any further. Leave it to Samsung to break new ground more with the secure and incredibly dependable 860 Pro SSD.
Although it’s only a very slight tick faster in terms of read and write speeds, the Korean electronics firm has completely overhauled the world’s best SATA SSD and made it even better.

Powered by Samsung’s latest 64-layer V-NAND technology, the 860 Pro series gets a slightly bump up on its 560 MB/s and 530 MB/s sequential read and write speeds. Overall, that only adds an additional 10 MB/s to the Samsung 850 Pro‘s original read and write speeds, but we’re really rubbing up against the theoretical 600 MB/s limit of SATA III at this point.
The denser memory structure has also allowed Samsung to introduce a new 4TB capacity version of the 860 Pro, though it comes with a ridiculously-high $1,899 (about £1,360, AU$2,380) price tag.
Thankfully there are more sensibly sized and priced drives starting at $139 (about £100, AU$170) for 256GB, $249 (about £180, AU$310) for 512GB, $479 (about £340, AU$600) for 1TB and $949 (about £680, AU$1,190) for …read more
