Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SATA SSD Review

The 870 EVO is seemingly a possible swan song to SATA SSDs, with Samsung stating, “it’s the culmination of their SATA SSD lineup,” and rightfully so, it’s not feasible to continually update a platform with an interface that’s past its prime.

That said, 870 EVO has been one of the better SATA SSDs to grace the market in quite some time. Performance figured out to 560 MB/s reads, and 530 MB/s write going off Samsung’s marketing.

Drive endurance is pushed out to 600TBW for this 1TB platform, while the top offering 4TB can offer 2400TBW. MSRP of the Samsung 870 EVO in the 1TB capacity comes in at $129.99 with a 5-year warranty.
