Samsung 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E1T0B/AM

I bought this 1TB Samsung SATA III SSD in June and it works perfectly. Installation was easy, it's fast, quiet, and has plenty of space for all my files. What I like most is the brand's reliability: I had already purchased a Samsung drive in 2012 for my Asus laptop, and it still works like new.I decided to upgrade my storage to 1TB and am just as satisfied with the performance. Samsung proves it's a durable, quality brand: both drives continue to work flawlessly after several years. Without a doubt, an excellent investment for those looking for a reliable and durable internal drive.

The Samsung 870 EVO 4TB is excellent — quick installation, smooth performance, and plenty of space for large files. It makes daily operations more efficient and gives peace of mind knowing data is secure. Great investment for any office setup.

I've used these drives for quite a while. Fast and reliable! Ordered 3 of these this time as a third internal drive on 3 PC Towers. First two drives are PCIe M2 SSD's. Would have put 3 of the M2's in each but didn't have an available PCIe Slot for a third drive. So i added this SATA SSD that I've had great prior results with. Th M2's are so much faster! So if you have an available PCIe Slot get an M2 Adaptor and a Samsung M2 990 Pro Heatsink for a great upgrade in speed. Hope this information is helpful.Performance:Big improvement over HDD'sDrive quality:Thousands of hours with zero problemsSpeed:Fast boot up and file transfersValue for money:Good price for a great SSD

I bought the Samsung 870 EVO 4TB specifically because it offers far higher endurance than the QVO — perfect for creators like me who need reliable, long-term storage for large files. It’s not as blazing-fast as NVMe, but its SATA speed is more than enough for smooth playback, backups, and everyday access. No lag, no fuss, just solid, dependable performance that keeps up with my workflow. If you’re a photographer, videographer, or content creator needing trustworthy high-capacity storage, this SSD is a no-brainer. Highly recommended!

Impressed with the Samsung 870 EVO SSD! The build quality is exceptional—the device feels solid and well-constructed straight out of the box, with a professional finish that inspires confidence. Installing it was a breeze; the standard 2.5-inch form factor and SATA interface made the upgrade process simple and quick, even for someone with basic tech skills.Performance-wise, the functionality is top-tier. Boot times and file transfers are dramatically faster compared to traditional hard drives, and the SSD operates quietly with minimal heat and power consumption. The Samsung Magician software adds to the experience by making it easy to monitor the drive’s health and optimize performance when needed.

Great value. Form, Fit, Function are all exceptional. Used to add third OS (Linux) to PC. Good speed, and inexpensive. Took less than 15 minutes to install the drive, less than 30 minutes to install the OS. SO different from drives in the late 1990s and 2000s!

Storage costs have been dropping recently and I was able to get my 4T unit for about 5.7 cents per GB. Not bad.Before users run out to buy they should be careful to not buy from questionable sources .. sources offering an unusually low price point. The reason being is they may be trying to off-load older 870 EVOs (02/2022 to 11/2022) with flawed firmware. These drives are in my view essentially junk and should be avoided. The firmware version that appears most readily is "SVT0B6Q".That out of the way, the 870 EVO is a great drive. I'm still running 840s, 850s and 860s and NONE of them have failed. Several purchasers have noted difficulty getting Samsung drives to properly authenticate their serial numbers, register as "genuine" or fully function with Samsung Magician (diagnostics, performance and Rapid Mode).What they may not be informing readers is that they are likely trying to utilize the drive from an either an external drive enclosure or a drive "strapping" device/adapter. The Samsungs (none .. including 840, 850, 860) will not fully register in those circumstances if the adapter's controller is NOT an Intel controller. Micron-based controllers are (e.g.) ubiquitous in any number or adapters or "straps" and Samsung SSDs will not fully register in those devices. That being said, adapters or "straps" are still perfectly fine for formatting (only) the drive. Adapters will (also) be unable to perform "Over-Provisioning". The drive will need to be internally installed to the PC (unless adapter has an Intel controller). Once installed, the drive will fully register and become available for all the Samsung Magician operability options.Later this year, I will be purchasing a second 4T unit to replace the #1 storage drive in my file server. Previously running WD "Red" magnetic drives, the 870 Evo consistently writes at 540 MB per second vrs the WD at 160. Since I don't game, faster backup speeds don't require ultra-high PCIe speeds for large file storage which I routinely do when taking multiple back-up images from the various PCs in the home office. Of note, I've had flawless SSD image performance with both Macrium and Acronis TrueImage (all paid versions) in the past.Other than improved time for large file backups, the SSDs also run about fifteen degrees cooler and use anywhere from 55-80% less power depending on state of use (running vs idle). For those looking to squeeze every year of use from an aging power supply, lower power demand likely translates to longer PSU life.I will eventually retain a single magnetic drive in the server but adding a #2 data storage 4TB 870 Evo makes good sense and will help me realize an additional 5-7 years of server life. In that regard, my goal is to get about twelve years before I do another rebuild. My form factor is mITX for those that wondered.You'll get great service from this drive and the price-point low is enough to get most off the fence for the upgrade. The very best of days to all.
