Saw this deal on Amazon US!

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Inch-Interna...d=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Worth it even include shipping to Malaysia?

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.

I placed order on 23 Nov and paid extra for priority shipping, it shipped out from Amazon on Nov 26, Florida => Ohio => just left to...? They use DHL and expected to arrive next week (3 Dec) but I am happy if can reach by 10th Dec

Eager to compare the experience with Patriot burst that I got

bro, u are dealing with Amazon. if the items does not reach you by 3rd DEC or earlier, they will immediately ship you a new one with 2days delivery, and you can return the original order with Amazon reimbursed all of the shipping cost, and maybe extra for you hassle. Or, if you choose to wait, i am pretty sure your shipping charges will be refunded.

this is the world most customer centric company, they never break delivery promised.


back to the ssd, i think the performance between ur patriot and 860 evo would be likely close for normal application.
however it will show when heavy load occur, mainly because 1tb 860 dram cache is 1gb.
samsung makes their own ram and they are generous in this way..
