RS Components has announced availability of the new SSD 860 range of solid-state drives (SSDs) from Samsung. Based on the manufacturer’s latest flash-memory technology, the range improves on Samsung’s highly popular SSD 850 devices to deliver enhanced speed, reliability and capacity for users.
The new SSDs are available in two series: PRO, which targets use with high-end and enterprise computing devices, and EVO, which has been specially designed for general consumer computing applications.
The PRO drives have been designed to achieve highly sustainable and dependable performance and handle heavy data transfer workloads. The series also comes equipped with the company’s newly-designed MJX controller for best-in-class read/write speed: up to 560 and 530 MB/s respectively. This level of performance starts to approach the theoretical bandwidth limitation of 600 MB/s for the legacy Serial-ATA (SATA) interface, which many SSD manufacturers have tried to reach over the years.
The EVO series targets use with mainstream desktops and laptops. Like the PRO, it comes equipped with the MJX controller and delivers sequential read and write performance up to 550 MB/s and 520 MB/s respectively, along with highly sustainable performance for everyday computing applications.
In addition, to meet the need for ever-faster data transfers and high performance over longer periods of time, the 860 EVO series integrates Samsung’s Intelligent TurboWrite technology, which automatically decides how much space to allocate to the TurboWrite region in accordance with system workload, which enables it to provide significantly accelerated write performance.
