Expert Review Analysis

The Samsung 870 EVO 1TB is a 2.5‑inch SATA III SSD that leverages Samsung’s V‑NAND TLC flash, MKX controller and 1 GB LPDDR4 DRAM to deliver up to 560 MB/s sequential reads and 530 MB/s writes, with strong random I/O performance and 600 TBW endurance backed by a five‑year warranty.

✓ Best for: IT professionals, content creators, and everyday users who need a high‑performance SATA‑compatible upgrade for laptops, desktops or NAS devices—ideal for OS/boot drives, 4K/8K video editing, multitasking workloads, and sustained write scenarios where QLC drives struggle.✗ Not ideal for: Enthusiasts seeking the absolute fastest storage, gamers or power users planning to move to PCIe NVMe SSDs, and budget‑focused buyers who can accept lower endurance for a cheaper QLC solution.

Pros

✓Delivers maximum SATA III sequential speeds of up to 560 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write, fully utilizing the interface bandwidth.
✓Provides high random I/O performance with up to 98,000 read and 88,000 write IOPS at QD32, and 13,000/36,000 IOPS at QD1.
