I think the solid state drive was a quality lower end option that exceeded my expectations and did not break the bank!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I love using Samsung products so I had no doubt that the Samsung 860 EVO Series SSD would be a great fit. Samsung was founded on March 1, 1938 by Lee Byung-chul. Their headquarters are located in Seoul, South Korea and as of 2016 Samsung had the 6th highest brand value in the world <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Samsung\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(Wikipedia)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.nationaltrail.k12.oh.us\/ittech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/samsung.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1924\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.nationaltrail.k12.oh.us\/ittech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/samsung-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" \/><\/a>The solid state drive can run for up to 1.5 million hours. This is a long time. When installing the Samsung 860 EVO Series SSD it was a breeze. The installation disk was not needed during the time of setup. Overall, it made my computer 1-2 times faster after installing the SDD. The solid state drive also has 3D NAND memory components.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/semiconductor\/minisite\/ssd\/product\/consumer\/860evo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Specifications<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Speed: 550 MB\/s read and 520 MB\/s write<\/li>\n<li>Size: 250 GB<\/li>\n<li>Input\/ Output per Second: up to 90,000 IOPS write and 98,000 IOPS read<\/li>\n<li>Transfer Rate: 6Gb\/s<\/li>\n<li>SLC\/MLC\/TLS: 3 bit MLC (Since it is MLC it means that it is doubled the amount of bits per cell)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I would recommend the Samsung 860 EVO Series 250GB SSD for anyone looking to purchase a lower end solid state drive for a home motherboard. The drive met all of my computers needs in order to make it run faster and more efficient. It also had a lower power consumption, used for cooling and speed. The total cost of the solid state drive on Newegg was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newegg.com\/Product\/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147676\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$94.99<\/a>. This is not a bad price for the specs you are gaining for your PC. Although there is probably a cheaper option you could find through research, the Samsung 860 EVO Series 250GB SSD was a great option that will not disappoint!<a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.nationaltrail.k12.oh.us\/ittech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/samsung-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1946\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.nationaltrail.k12.oh.us\/ittech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/samsung-2-300x100.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1520440124727_60\">Note:\u00a0 This review is part of a classroom project.<\/b><br \/>\n<strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>www.newegg.com\/Product\/<\/li>\n<li>en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Samsung<\/li>\n<li>www.samsung.com\/semiconductor\/<\/li>\n<li>www.newegg.com\/Product\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;]]&gt;\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;![CDATA[I am going to be reviewing the Samsung 860 EVO Series 250GB solid state drive.
