Samsung SSD 870 EVO, 2 TB, Form Factor 2.5 Inch, Intelligent Turbo Write, Magician 6 Software, Black

Product Information

The Samsung 870 EVO is the latest entry into the company’s successful line of consumer SSDs. The EVO line has been a highly successful endeavor for the company, as the line finds the perfect balance between performance and price while offering Samsung’s pedigree in reliability. These mid-range consumer drives are designed for all kinds of use cases, from everyday use and gaming, to those looking for a decent upgrade in performance for PC and even just those looking for a reliable SATA SSD. On paper, the 870 EVO seemed like a modest refresh of the last-gen model; however, results from our benchmarks told a slightly different story. For performance, we looked at both the 1TB and 4TB models and compared them to three other consumer-grade 2.5-inch SATA SSDs: the OWC Mercury Extreme Pro, Seagate FireCuda 120, and its predecessor, the 860 EVO. The other factor in this is that we recently updated our SSD test suite for 2021, which means re-testing older drives for new performance numbers. In our SSD test suite 2021 article, we prioritized NVMe SSDs, as that is where the market is. We are getting around to retesting the older SATA drives, although these take the longest time to complete - 24 hours for a fast 1 TB drive, up to 100 hours or more for a 4 TB drive,not including the analysis. clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-246-30-86_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604427359-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-246-30-86_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604431429-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-246-30-86_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604431547-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-246-30-86_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604435637-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-246-30-86_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604427151-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net,

For 4K random read and write, we saw both Samsung capacities hit around 75K IOPS and 63K IOPS, respectively, while the other tested drives showed very similar performance. Moving on to 64K read, the Samsung 870 EVO capacities saw 480MB/s for the 1TB and 487MB/s for the 4TB (much better than the 860’s 290MB/s) while 64K write we saw 369MB/s and 418MB/s, respectively. Though the 860 had better performance than the 1TB 870 EVO in sequential writes, the 4TB model showed a noticeable step up in speed.
