Samsung 870 EVO

The Samsung 870 EVO was slightly more expensive than the competition when it was launched at the beginning of 2021. In the meantime, the 870 EVO has fallen significantly in price and is a recommendation not only for this reason. The SSD performance is more than sufficient for everyday use. This also applies to the variant we tested with a storage capacity of 2 TB.

At the time of the test, the Samsung 870 Evo was one of the cheapest 4-terabyte SSDs for installation in a PC or notebook, with a price of around 400 euros. The price is more than fair: The 870 Evo offers a huge amount of storage space for photos, videos and music, the read and write speed was okay in the test, and the acceleration of Windows 10 and programs was very high.

The bottom line is that users benefit from the high speed when individual data, especially videos, photos and songs, are stored or accessed quickly. Top: The manufacturer gives a five-year warranty on its SSD series. Samsung's SSD data carrier 870 EVO (1 TB) offers rich data speed, a fair price and classic application possibilities for PCs.
