The 860 is just a new iteration of the 830/840/850 line.

If you can get it for the same price, get the 860.
Otherwise, get the 850.

the 860 is a bit pricey compared to the 850. Is the 860 a bit faster than the 850?

The performance is minimal between the two and you won't notice it in real world usage, go with whatever is cheaper.

In a blind test, I doubt anyone could tell the difference.

"the jump from the 850 to 860 feels more like an 850 EVO "Plus", "

"On paper, the 860 EVO is faster than the 850 EVO, but the operating system overhead will not allow you to see the difference. Even on the specification sheet, we're looking at crumbs of performance, a virtual rounding error. "

Also something final will the 850/860 work with this motherboard? GA-P55M-UD2?

AleksiDj52 :

Assuming you get the regular 2.5" SATA III drive, yes.

P55? Remember that while it will work, it will work at the slower SATA II speeds found on those boards. I got rid of my P55 board when I got my SATA III SSD.
