Samsung`s first new SSD of the year is, as you might expect, very good.
Seeing a product announcement a week after CES 2021 closed its virtual doors may be a little peculiar, but here we are with Samsung`s first new SSD of the year. The 870 EVO isn`t a superfast PCIe 4.0 SSD that will break performance records, instead, it`s back down to the now, quite old hat, SATA standard. But Samsung is always there when talking about the best SSDs whatever you`re looking for.
SATA SSDs do continue to be important. In a world where nobody wants to rely on slow, noisy, janky old mechanical hard drives, the SATA SSD is the new mass storage device for the PC builder of today. And if previous Samsung SSDs are anything to go by, the 870 EVO is going to be extremely popular. But is it any good?
Yes. It is.
Another hit

Bottom line: We might well be at the limits of what SATA drives can achieve but once again Samsung has produced a good quality product with attractive pricing.
