Abstract: Today, Samsung has launched the next drive in its 870 SATA SSD platform. The EVO, as Samsung describes, is the "culmination of their SATA SSD lineup," offering consumers a mix of performance, reliability, and compatibility for legacy machines and even NAS...

Solid performance for a SATA-based drive, 5-year warranty, Great software support, Available up to 4TB, Priced well

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...

Slower than NVMe M.2, Expensive
At £50 more than the QVO yet sporting almost identical specification, you'd be hard pushed at first to see the benefit of the EVO drive. The different comes with the internal workings that see a V-NAND 3-bit rather than 4-bit MLC (Multi-Level Cell). The t...

Abstract: For those continuing to rely on SATA 3.0 storage, last week Samsung introduced the 870 EVO as their latest solid-state drive in the very successful EVO line-up. For those curious about the Linux performance of the Samsung 870 EVO or wanting to run your ow...
