The delivery of the Samsung MZ-76P512BW / MZ-76E500B SSD …

The Samsung SSD 860 Pro is well packed in this box.

The Samsung SSD 860 Evo Box looks very similar.

The back of the Samsung SSD 860 Pro package is showing the 5-year limited warranty.

The packaging of the Samsung SSD 860 Evo looks very similar.

The differences here are also here in the details, because the total amount of write data within the warranty period for the Samsung SSD 860 Pro 256 GB is up to 300 TB TBW (Total Bytes Written), 600 TB TBW at 512 GB,
1200 TB TBW at 1 TB, 2400 TB TBW at 2 TB and 4800 TB TBW at 4 TB.

With the Samsung SSD 860 Evo, the specified total amount of write data within the warranty period with 250 GB is 150 TB TBW, 300 TB TBW with 500 GB, 600 TB TBW with 1 TB, 1200 TB TBW with 2 TB and 2400 TB TBW with 4 TB and is therefore only half as high!
