About This Product
The Samsung 870 Evo is a 2TB SATA SSD suitable for general-purpose computing and gaming. It offers sequential read/write speeds up to 560/530 MB/s, which is typical for the SATA interface. This drive is a cost-effective upgrade for systems limited to SATA, providing significantly faster boot and application load times than traditional HDDs. While faster NVMe drives exist, the 870 Evo remains competitive for users not requiring PCIe speeds.
