Dead after a year. I also make purchasing decisions for some clients who buy enterprise drives, and while the rules prohibit me from detailing my other reasons this product is very disappointing, let's say that this experience plus the one I'm not allowed to state have changed my mind about purchasing and recommending Samsung SSDs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the 870 evo 2tb ssd for a month now, got it to upgrade my pcs storage space, and it has performed exceptionally. Had NO trouble setting it up and paired with the Samsung magician it's easy to see the performance. Has very good compatibility, very good read and write speeds, and a nice sleek design. Is definitely an upgrade to any PC and the best ssd I've had to date!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fantastic SSD Drive, Top of the Line...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanted to get a new, larger SSD for my laptop to replace a 10yo Samsung PM830 which has been an amazing drive with 9yrs of on time & still has 80% health. However, Samsung wasn't my first choice for replacement.
I was looking for something cheaper but as I learned more & more, I realized you need to buy a reputable name brand drive. Quality & performance is very sporadic if you don't.
The price scared me away from Samsung to start. Again, the more I learned, I found you can get an EVO 870 1TB for about the same price as a budget brand, such as Adata. Only an extra $20 at this date, but you get so much more for that extra.
The magician software is great. I'm absolutely amazed at my read/write speeds via SATAIII with the performance caching enabled. Wasn't even aware I could achieve those speeds, refer to the included JPG. Without performance cache enable, I'm right at the advertised read/write speeds of 550/500. The only thing that sucks is never having access to the full capacity rating, but that's a norm, then it you use over provisioning you lose even more. Other than that, this is the best SATA drive on the market. I even bought a second one as a backup.
The only downside is that I came across tech forums discussing possible issues with these drives. Those issues regard early drive failure, where relatively new drives begin to show uncorrectable errors, ECC error rate, CRC error rate, reallocated sector count start to rise via CrystalDiskInfo. Then it just keeps getting worse & worse. The Samsung software also verifies this. However, it seems Samsung is willing to stand by their warranty & RMA the drives. I haven't experienced any of those issues so far but will be keeping an eye on those statistics with CrystalDisk in case it does start to happen. This is definitely an issue that shouldn't be happening with a name & price like Samsung, so hopefully they take care of the issue.
