received my 860 evo 1tb today, total include shipping and tax is RM 575 after convert. worth? malaysia is selling double that price.
compare the speed to my old crucial M4 512 gb and my wife sandisk ssd plus 240gb, i would say my 860 evo perform a lot stable and obviously faster, but no fast until i want to shout. it is faster as it should be.
granted i only transfer files between the disk to check the speed. out of 3 only sandisk is use as OS drive.
it is a dramless ssd, and base on my wife usage, it perform really well.
the only game my wife play is candy crush on FB.
however the performance can be slightly unstable. things still load pretty fast when i use it for some network/os troubleshoot and updates
there were slight hiccup that was foreign to me when i was using my M4. but it does not break the machine and the usability of the ssd.
the hiccup does not happen everytime and last no more than 1 sec or 2.
Ordered the 970 Evo 500gb for RM 568 which I guess RM300 lower than Malaysia selling. I think sometimes if we can wait, the deals in amazon are worth it for us. Also, Amazon does make our hands itchy on those deals especially during Black Friday!
