Abstract: It's very hard for a SATA drive to set itself apart from the crowd. Every drive has to have the same basic size and shape, so it will fit into a standard bay. And performance is strictly limited by the interface, which can only transfer data at a rate o...

The fastest yet, Write endurance, A size for everyone
Samsung 980 exists, Puzzling price
The Samsung 870 Evo is a fantastic SATA SSD, but it's competing for a place on a computer budget that can be much better filled by PCIe SSDs that prove better in almost every way without even bumping up the price...

There's no shortage of competitive SSDs on the market today. However, with a reputation as strong as Samsung's, as well as knowing they use their own high-quality V-NAND, with excellent build quality and a great warranty, it's hard not to be impressed wit...

Abstract: The SATA SSD market went pretty quiet in recent years, thanks to the rise of NVMe SSDs, including Samsung's own PCIe Gen 3 and now Gen 4 offerings too – review coming next week on the 980 Pro by the way so make sure you are subscribed so you don't miss it...
Reliable and responsive architecture, Appealing aesthetics, AES 256-bit encryption, Capacities up to 4TB, 5-year warranty, Software suite,
Premium price

We first saw Samsung's six-generation 1xx layer 3-bit MLC (TLC to you and me) V-NAND when we reviewed the PCIe Gen 4 SSD9 80 PRO drive (HERE), but now it features in a model series further down the food chain in the shape of the 2.5in SATA 6Gb/s SSD 870 E...
Lots of storage, Good pricing on used market, Does not take up M.2 slots, Decent sustained write speeds, Very low idle power usage, DRAM cache, Much faster than mechanical HDDs, No risk of thermal throttling, Five-year warranty
Lower performance than NVMe SSDs, Quite expensive (new drive), Very small SLC cache, Physically larger than M.2 SSDs
The 4 TB version of the Samsung 870 EVO is currently available online for $225. Lots of storage Good pricing on used market Does not take up M.2 slots Decent sustained write speeds Very low idle power usage DRAM cache Much faster than mechanical HDDs No...
Solid performance for a SATA-based drive, 5-year warranty, Great software support, Available up to 4TB, Priced well
Limited by SATA interface, Hard to not go NVMe if you have that option

The Samsung 870 EVO is a new SATA SSD in a market where all the interesting action is centered around NVMe SSDs. The 870 EVO is necessarily a low-key product refresh, but Samsung deserves praise for actually making this a new model instead of simply updat...
