Editor's Notes & Price Research

This price beats the price we had it for last month by $11. -brisar
They are very different drives.
The 860 Pro is MLC based: Each memory cell has 4 states. The Adata is based on Micron's TLC. Each cell has 8 power states. Endurance and speed is better on MLC than TLC. That said, the pure speed difference is not significant on SATA interface for daily uses and endurance of both drives is probably more than you can use at this point before the drive and your computer becomes completely obsolete..

You correct. the Adata is based on a much newer controller. I actually own two of those Micron 1100 and they are significantly slower than the average SATA SSD.

equally importantly: its actually sold by a company that will honor the warranty, not a drive by reseller.
'better performance' isn't the point of the Samsung pro line, its the longer lifespan in comparison to 'standard' SSDs.
I.E. the 860pro will performan pretty much the same as the 860evo, but theoretically for ~twice as long. something important in a server setting, but mostly meaningless in the consumer market/uses.
(yeah yeah, unless you get off on benchmarks and drink the kool-aid that tells you you'll see the difference between a pro/evo while you're gaming).
This SU800 is right up there with every other good SSD.
