[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compatibility was perfect for my older setup. Performance is fantastic, boots up in seconds. This drive has been rock-solid and totally reliable. A superb upgrade!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 500 GB SSD Sata 2.5 inch drive is a really powerful product. My laptop was really slow really slow because it had a SSD card with minimal capacity. Once I switched to the 870 Evo, my laptop was much faster and I got things done in half the time
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Capacity for days: 4 TB of solid-state storage in the 2.5″ SATA form means you’ve got ample space for games, media projects, large datasets, backups.
Top-tier SATA speeds: Samsung quotes up to ~560 MB/s read and ~530 MB/s write for this model. That means for SATA-based systems, you’re basically saturating the interface — all the “SATA‐capable” speed you can get.
Strong endurance: The specification for the 4 TB model is rated at 2,400 TBW (terabytes written) over its warranty period. That’s reassuring for heavy usage such as using for your primary OS drive like I do.
I love the solid guarantee i get wirh the 5 year warranty from Samsung. It certainly gives me peace of mind for my long-term investments in their top notch storage offerings.
Samsung is a mature, trusted brand & ecosystem. The “EVO” line has built a strong reputation in the space and is clearly a leader, as Samsung is in most of the spaces it competes in . This means good firmware support, reliable behavior, and strong compatibility between devices and because it’s SATA 6 Gb/s and the common 2.5″ 7m7m form-factor, it works in lots of desktops and many laptops.
The drive is supported by Samsung’s “Magician” software (for health monitoring, firmware updates, drive maintenance). That’s a nice bonus for users who like to keep tabs, but i personally use it only for the firmware updates (which is highly recommend you stay recent on for any fixes and patches needed).
In sum, its a good all-round performer with very solid performance and improvements (especially in random-read/write) over earlier generations.
