The 870 EVO uses TLC (or 3bit MLC, as dubbed by Samsung) 3D V-NAND, is available in capacities from 256GB up to 4TB, and features the company’s newest in-house controller. The 870 EVO also offers an endurance of up to 2,400TBW for the highest capacity model. clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604425669-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604427540-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604427617-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604427664-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604427922-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net,

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. In sequential Crystal DiskMark speeds, the SSD 870 EVO hits Samsung's own rated spec without a sweat, while 4K results were just a bit stronger, but still a bit slower than expected when comparing the 4TB and 1TB variants of the same drive.

While there aren't a ton of innovations on offer with Samsung's SSD 870 EVO, the incremental improvements that Samsung has made both to its flash technology and its controllers looks to have translated into some decent gains for the drive's 4K random read and write performance. g2nlvmqcchiscx5bva5a-pwotro-14b66ca5a-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, g2nlvmqccuqvax5bs7hq-p4vzcl-ad59a5fd9-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, g2nlvmqccuqxax5bsz6q-pm3a6a-3feb7d021-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, g2nlvmqxzp4swx5bs5uq-pd12b9-62c8cb38d-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, g2nlvmqxzp4swx5bt3va-p7puv0-d4fafcfea-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, g2nlvmsy3wdkax5bs5zq-p675cj-d0b1fd299-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, g33b4vqccuqvax5btwhq-pfp8ei-5c0ea4329-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net,

If you're married to SATA pricing (or your PC can't handle anything else) but want to optimize 4K performance, the Samsung SSD 870 EVO is the best new SATA drive of the early days of 2021. It should be at the top of anyone's list who wants the best combination of performance, product quality, and price in a 2.5-incher. In each of these tests, the Samsung SSD 870 EVO proved itself not only as a leader among SATA drives, but also a regular competitor with both PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0-based NVMe M.2 drives. While both of those standards are great for what they do (hitting all-time sequential throughput records), their added bandwidth doesn't always translate to better 4K random read and write scores, which is what a large percentage of SSD buyers in this category tend to care about most. Samsung is one of the few companies still putting significant effort into SATA SSDs and releasing new consumer SATA models. As PC OEMs have overwhelmingly switched to using NVMe SSDs in new systems, even on the smaller capacities, the client/consumer SATA SSD market now exists almost entirely for the sake of DIY system builders and aftermarket upgrades on older systems. Most major consumer SSD brands have either stopped updating their SATA models, or decided to quietly update components without the fanfare of a new model release. Then there are companies creating odd-ball models, such as a 15.36 TB design. Either way, we don't get many new consumer SATA SSDs in for review these days. random write showed similar performance between all tested drives. Here, the 1TB Samsung 870 EVO peaked at 63,269 IOPS with 2,022µs, while the 4TB model showed a peak at 63,542 IOPS at 2,012µs.i22f44600-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i22f47c00-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i22f4a100-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i22f55c00-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i22f5ca00-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i22f6b100-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i22f7bf00-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i22fdb800-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i22fdd700-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i3430c200-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i34d04400-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i34d71700-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i36486200-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, i364b2700-ds-aksb-a.akamaihd.net, clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-75-41-190_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604425120-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-75-41-190_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604425189-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-75-41-190_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604427540-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-75-41-190_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604424875-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 54-75-41-190_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604425270-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, As for the PCMark 10 Copy Tests tab (the last tab in the chart above), those numbers tie in with the next test set...

Each capacity should measure similar to that of the 860 EVO - typically, it will have a 6GB-12GB of static SLC cache paired with a dynamic SLC cache that spans tens of gigabytes. Speed degradation was not apparent in our testing of the 1TB and 4TB model, but it may impact the smaller models.

Multiple Uses

When looking at our VDI benchmarks results, both capacities demonstrated a significant improvement over the last-gen EVO drive. In boot, the 1TB 870 EVO peaked at 26,502 IOPS and the 4TB model peaked at 27,582 IOPS, while initial Login had the 1TB with a peak performance of 14,193 IOPS and 17,021 IOPS for the 4TB model. Lastly, for Monday Login, 1TB Samsung 870 EVO had a peak performance of 12,161 IOPS and 14,323 IOPS for the 1TB and 4TB models, respectively.
