There are hardly any differences. In normal operation, you won't feel any difference compared to an 850.

Here are the basics (QLC is not (yet) on it, it just has one bit more to TLC): https://www.digitec.ch/de/page/eine-komplexe-angelegenheit-so-funktioniert-eine-ssd-7399 QLC becomes extremely slow when slicing when the fast SLC cache is full. See Computerbase test: https://www.computerbase.de/2018-12/samsung-ssd-860-qvo-test/ If you write very little and small bites to the SSD (i.e. mostly read), why not. If you need a normal all-round SSD, then go for the 860EVO.

...buy this for Synology NAS: WD Red SA500 (2000GB, 2.5")

Sorry, Samsung says MLC 3bit, which is TLC :) So that has been cleared up.

Nothing is supplied with this SSD. The data migration programme can be downloaded from the Samsung homepage. A USB - SATA cable must be ordered separately.

Is it a laptop or a desktop? Desktop self-built: suitable screws - often referred to as "SATA screws" - are often included with the enclosure. Desktop ready-made: when replacing HDD/SSD you can often use the same screws. Laptop: see "Desktop ready-made If you need new screws, they are called "M3 screws" (regarding diameter) and the length should be as short as possible. The best way to look for the right screws is to 1) know that you actually need them and 2) know how long they should be. And: you are not the first to wonder about SSD screws :) https://www.google.com/search?q=ssd+screws+site%3Adigitec.ch

Yes, the SSD certainly fits.

Funny question. I'm not sure if this product was even part of the Black Friday selection. But it can happen that another supplier can offer a Black Friday offer (or other promotion) at a lower price. Another product is then cheaper somewhere else. It is usually always worth comparing.

Serious question? Nevertheless, yes, once you have installed this hard drive, you will have a gross 500GB at your disposal. If you are using Steam, please change the installation path from C to (once assigned) the new letter.

...SSDs never come with cables! The cables are included with the mainboard and power supply unit! SATA data and SATA power cables!

Normalversion?

Yes, that should fit. USB 3.1 and 6 or 10GB transfer rate is sufficient. I have an enclosure from UGreen with the same specifications as the ICY Box. I use the hard drive on all my Macs (MacMini and notebooks from 2014). Works flawlessly.

Hello, It looks like it would fit. According to the specs it takes a normal HHD or an SSD, so this would fit.

Yes, that fits.

What is your measured throughput rate? USB 3.0 has real throughput rates of about 450 MB/s (and not the promised 625 Mbyte/s = 5 Gbit/s). The transfer rates of the Samsung 860 are also very volatile, depending on whether you are writing, reading or what data type. I would consider anything between 300 and 450/500 MByte/s as "good". All these tests were carried out under laboratory conditions. With the IcyBox, throughput rates of "only" 260 MByte/s are reported. Does the MacBook Pro have USB 3.0 on all USB plugs? Maybe that helps, otherwise get back to me with a few more details.

Yes, it should work. Both SSDs with SATA III interface.

This hard drive can also be used for PS4 Pro

No, there is not, simply because this is not an external SSD by default like the portable Samsung SSDs. The EVO lacks this security chip which is a prerequisite. All information about the SSD can be found at the following link: https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/860evo/ There you will also find all the accessories such as software that fits.

Yes, that is possible.

Demand

Yes, I have also installed it in the PS4 and I am satisfied.

According to the specification, your computer (if it really is the tower version) should have three SATA ports. You can therefore connect SATA hard drives (such as the 860 EVO Basic). However, I cannot guarantee this, as Acer has not provided a diagram of the motherboard in the manual (and the pictures/videos available on the Internet are not certain). If you really want to be sure, you would have to look on your motherboard (should be to the right of the CPU, 3 pieces, black or red connectors). Also check whether you have the power cable for SATA to hand (was included with the PC). Also check whether the 3.5" bay (bottom side near the front) has mounts for 2.5" hard drives (i.e. screw holes on the underside of the drawers)... in the worst case, you will have to buy a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter kit. I hope I was able to help you a little anyway.

The SSD can be installed because hard disks from 7 to 9 mm fit in the T430. The black rubber used in the T430 is available for 7 or 9 mm. The Samsung 860 EVO Basic has a height of 7 mm, so it fits. If 9 mm rubber was used in the T430, the SSD manufacturers also offer small plastic frames that can be screwed on top. If not, simply try to increase the 2mm sideways with something. You won't have any problems once the drive is installed, it will hold in the SATA connector and in these rubber frames. I don't really see a problem with the hard drive size, because that used to be the case with old Windows versions, but Windows 10 and the T430 motherboard should be able to cope with it.

YES, absolutely quiet!
