I agree. I've had the EVO 1TB for years now. Great speed and with no signs of degrading. Been thinking about upgrading to 2TB and this price is not so bad

Thanks for the post. (Good timing for me.)
This has been at about the same price for about three months, according to what three Camels told me.

The general consensus is Samsung is the most reliable brand. My experience of personally using 4, and having installed dozens in customer and friends PCs I have never had or received a complaint.

If speed isn't the top priority, is the 860EVO the best choice in terms of reliability? Plan to substitute the Micron 1100 I've had.
