    It is slower for sure, but cheaper. Check out the review.

      I think with the current cashback and eBay deal the Samsung 1tb is cheaper

        Correct you can currently get the 860 EVO for $200 and receive $45 cash back bringing it to $155.

  Seagate is owned by Samsung?

    Not sure how you drew that conclusion but no Seagate and Samsung are different companies.

    Seagate bought Samsung Electronics' HDD division in 2011. This did not include Samsung's SSD division.

  Nice price but rather wait for their new sandforce controller revision. As mentioned before the controller is ancient in tech term.

  Here are my top 7 tips for getting the most from your SSDs.

  Enable TRIM. TRIM is essential for keeping SSDs in tip-top shape.
  Don't Wipe the Drive.
  Update Your Firmware.
  Move Your Cache Folder to a RAM Disk.
  Don't Fill to Full Capacity.
  Don't Defrag.
  Don't Store Large Files.

  Don't store large files???
  Storing large files won't make any difference to your SSD life.

  Don't defrag???
  Modern OS's and disk management software don't defrag SSDs anyway. It's simply not possible.

  Move your cache folder to RAM???
  Most people don't have enough spare RAM for a RAM Disk. And running cache files on your SSD isn't going to shorten it's life that much.

  Don't fill to capacity???
  Better to format the disk and leave min 10% free space unformatted.
