Cutting-edge performance and technologies all made in Samsung
Samsung 870 EVO is equipped with the latest technologies in terms of controller and V-NAND flash, which allow it to reach the maximum SATA sequential read and write speed of 560 and 530 MB / s respectively. Using a large variable SLC buffer, Intelligent TurboWrite technology helps maintain peak performance levels. The 870 EVO also offers a 38% improvement in random read speed over the previous 860 model, improving the user experience in multi-tasking situations such as browsing the web or simply booting up a PC.
Leveraging the experience and expertise gained in storage technologies, Samsung designs all the components of the SSD in-house, to make sure that every element works at its best. As a result, the 870 EVO offers an approximately 30% improvement over the sustained performance of the 860 EVO, plus a five-year or 2400 TBW warranty for the 4TB model, making it class-leading.
