I check my old hhd got bad sector, is it advisable to run os cloning to my new ssd?

Wondering why now 850 evo more expensive than latest 860 evo? Price quoted from PC shop on my area.

Which mean?

Finally installed windows10pro and tested the Samsung evo 860

Writing speed kinda disappointed, only 300mb/s not as advertised. But i think something to do with turbo write, perhaps there's small remark by Samsung on their website. My old 840 evo can get 500mb/s write speed，weird...

* Performance may vary based on SSD's firmware version and system hardware & configuration. Sequential write performance measurements are based on Intelligent TurboWrite technology. Sequential performance measurements based on CrystalDiskMark v.5.0.2 and IOmeter 1.1.0. The sequential write performances after Intelligent TurboWrite region are 300 MB/s for 250 / 500 GB and 500 MB/s for 1 TB. *

The 860 Evo also features Samsung's Intelligent TurboWrite, which uses a portion of the NAND as an SLC buffer. The size of that buffer increases with the capacity of the drive, and Samsung lists both before and after TurboWrite speeds. While both the 250GB and 500GB models drop to 300MB/s after the TurboWrite buffer is filled, the 1TB model can still sustain 500MB/s while the 2TB and 4TB drives can sustain the full 550MB/s speed (for sequential data).

Anyone can help? Does this make Crucial MX500 the better choice here?

Using laptop intel 4th gen i7, sata iii supported. Windows 10pro 64bit.
After shutdown com for a night, writing speed back to normal. Is the turbo write buffer reset when detect shutdown?
