[Body Sheded]

Can I put Samsung Evo 860 on my motherboard h61?
A friend told me it won't be able to reach maximum efficiency
how much read/write speed would it reach?

What is the full, exact model number of your motherboard?

As long as you have an available SATA3 port, the system will perform well with the Samsung SSD. No worries.

LGA1155 Gigabyte edition

That is not a model number.

Regardless, as long as you have an available SATA3 port, the system will perform well with the Samsung SSD. No worries.

To get the exact model number, install CPU-Z and get the info from the mainboard tab (or look for the info stenciled to the motherboard itself).

Your friend is incorrect.
Ask him to explain exactly why he says that.

Now...there were some boards of that era that listed SATA III ports, but not all of the "SATA III" ports worked exactly the same.
Intel vs Asmedia.
