my current wear level count is at 2 after a month of buying with 1.07tb written onto the drive, how many p/e cycles the drive can handle and how many years it will be functional at this rate (1tb per month),note: this write rate is because I installed windows and other huge games.

Not as long as it should last, SSDs aren't meant to consistently be written on. Just store the OS, some programs and a couple of games on it and that's it.

I prefer MLC SSDs like the 850 Pro or the Crucial MX 100 over TLCs regardless the tweaks of Samsung they have done on the 850 Evo which is an TLC in the end. Try not to use over 60% of the SSD space as the writes over heads will be reduced. But at your rate it should last you for about at least 4-5 years. Always do backups to your Critical data to your secondary HDD.

you guys shouldn't care much about the endurance. take the 850 evo its rated at 75TB for the 120 and 250GB and 150TB for the 500, 1TB.
75TB is more than you will ever need to write on the SSD. You probably wont hit the 10TB for another year. And even after hitting the 75TB mark it will still function normally. techreport did a test once, where SSDs hit 1PB before failing!

Out of topic, but still in subject.
I am getting my 850 Evo 120GB from amazon soon.
Any ideas on how i can Move the current windows 10 installation files into that disk without reformatting?
Also i will be putting non other than Origin games on the SSD (battlefield 3,4 etc..) but i need origin to be installed on a hard disk not on the SSD.
Any idea how i can do that?
Thanks.

@AVOlio,
Why get it from Amazon? it is already so cheap on PcAndParts (i got the 500GB 2 weeks ago)
Concerning moving data, the 850 EVO comes with a utility that allows you to take an image from your existing drive to your new SSD drive, the process is very easy and reliable.
I Migrated my whole 120 GB old SSD to the new one in 12 minutes.
Good luck

yeah I migrated from an old hdd to Samsung 850 evo 500gb with TOTAL ease

I had a 75$ promotional gift certificate from Amazon, so I got the SSD free of charge.
How do you deal with installing new programs when Windows is installed in SSD?
Do you guys install the programs in an hdd or the SSD, and like I have to change the directory every time I install a new program or game, or is there a way I can make it by default to install everything on the HDD.
And lastly,can I put specific origin games in the SSD, while origin is installed on the HDD?
Like I have 2-3 games from my library I want them to work on the SSD and the rest on the hard drive.
