I'm using a samsung 860 evo 250gb for 7 months now and thats where my os and some games are in. I just checked the ssd's health at hdd sentinel and it goes down to 98%, and also when I benchmarked it the sequential write speed lowered to 391 mb/s but it is said on the spec sheet that it should be 520 mb/s. (88.7gb left out of 250gb)
 
Use latest CrystalDiskMark, select 1 GB test transfers, and, just run the top test (Seq Q32T1)....; if that gives you 500+ MB/sec, you're good...

Not all tests achieve the flashy numbers of the peak sequential read/write numbers that folks love so well, but, CrystalDIskMark is pretty consistent.
