The SSD market is getting faster and faster, The Samsung 870 EVO is the latest iteration of Samsung’s very popular mainstream SATA SSD, preceded by the Samsung 860 EVO which is deemed as one of the most popular SATA drives from Samsung. The 870 EVO uses Samsung’s TurboWrite variable secondary cache algorithm, in which the main NAND is treated as SLC by writing only a single bit per voltage level. That should allow top write performance until the drive nears full capacity. As a rule of thumb, you should stay below 75 percent of capacity when using SSDs or performance will suffer.
The Samsung 870 EVO achieves the maximum SATA interface limit of 560/530 MB/s sequential speeds. Everyday users can now enjoy professional-level SSD performance. Intelligent TurboWrite accelerates write speeds and maintains long-term high performance with a larger variable buffer.
Providing up to 2,400 TBW under a 5year limited warranty, the Samsung 870 EVO meets the industry’s leading standards of reliability. It withstands tasks from everyday computing to 8K video processing and comes equipped with the latest 6th Gen. VNAND and MKX controller that ensures a stable host experience.
The Samsung 870 EVO passed compatibility tests with major host systems and applications, including chipsets, motherboards, NAS, and video recording devices. As the latest entry in the globally best-selling EVO series, the 870 EVO‘s proven versatility is compatible with the systems and tasks of any user.
