At £50 more than the QVO yet sporting almost identical specification, you’d be hard pushed at first to see the benefit of the EVO drive. The different comes with the internal workings that see a V-NAND 3-bit rather than 4-bit MLC (Multi-Level Cell).

  Not as fast as NVMe SSDs

For the past two years, Samsung’s 860 Evo SSD has been the best SATA drive you can buy for your PC. Its random read and write times have been pretty much unmatched since it first came out in 2018 (indeed, only Samsung’s 870 Qvo has managed to best it on write time), but despite still being best in...

Samsung has another winner on its hands with this 870EVO. There literally isn't anything negative for me to write about this drive. It performs as it should for a very reasonable price. Also, Samsung supports these drives by providing replacement services directly to the customer if they are needed.

this is saving me a lot of time my pc is running very fast.

Installed in an Akitio Neutrino U3 case as a backup drive for a 2012 Mac mini with an internal 860 EVO. Formatted with (Apple) Disk Utility without a hitch. My first weekly (incremental) backup to the 870 EVO took 6 minutes, 1/4 of the time that the fast hard drive it replaced would take in the same...

Great products, super fast, super reliable and quiet!

I think this was my fourth samsung 870 I’ve purchased and installed. Never had an issue with them. I’m sure there are less expensive alternatives but I prefer known reliability. Great upgrade for aging laptops, quick and easy swap with the Samsung data migration software and a basic usb to sata...

This was easy to install. The Samsung software made it very easy to move all of my programs and files from the existing hard drive to the new drive. I was considering purchasing a new computer but upgrading to the Samsung solid state drive eliminated that need. It made my old Lenovo snappy again.

The SSD is as it should be, no news there. Have several Samsung SSD and all are are good. Outgrew my Samsung 500 Gb Boot SSD so upgraded to Samsung 1TB SSD Only quibble is the Samsung downloadable software, the migration software didn't work after many tries, but not to worry, I have Acronis and it...

I boughtvthis fantastic drive to upgrade a macbook pro. The difference between this and the original hdd is absolute nightvand day. Very pleased with the purchase

Recently replaced my THIRD faulty regular Hard Drive with this SSD Internal Hard Drive. I cloned my original drive, all went very smoothly, and I certainly like the increase in start up time, only around 25 seconds, much improvement on up to two minutes with the old drives.
