About This Product
The Samsung 870 Evo is a 2.5-inch SATA SSD with 1TB capacity and 1GB cache. It offers sequential read speeds up to 560 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 530 MB/s, making it suitable for general computing and gaming. While faster NVMe drives exist, the 870 Evo provides a cost-effective upgrade for systems limited to SATA interfaces or users needing high capacity at a lower price point than equivalent NVMe SSDs.
Verdict
“Ideal for upgrading older systems or budget-conscious users needing reliable SATA storage.”
