Samsung 870 EVO Spec and Price in the United States
Released November 1, 2020 · $249.99 MSRP
SATA remains the ceiling here: the 870 EVO tops out around 560/530 MB/s regardless of its TLC NAND and DRAM cache, since the interface itself caps throughput well below any NVMe drive in this lineup. Random IOPS of 98,000/88,000 and a 1,200TB endurance rating still exceed typical budget SATA drives, making it a fit for upgrading older laptops and desktops limited to SATA that still need a reliable long-term drive. Its five-year warranty matches the NVMe options despite the slower interface.
Tied 87th of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential read — 8 models share this figure. Tied 89th of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential write — 4 models share this figure.
