    Does the new Samsung SSD 860 series work on 2011 Macbook Pros?

    I'm not sure about it but will the new Samsung SSD 860 work with my late 2011 MBP? I've heard a lot of good things about the 850 series and as much as I want to buy it, I can't because the nearest shop near me doesn't have it anymore.
