How fast is Samsung 870 EVO 2TB SSD? ›

The 870 EVO achieves the maximum SATA interface limit of 560/530 MB/s sequential speeds. Everyday users can now enjoy professional-level SSD performance.

The Samsung 870 EVO features the company's latest V-NAND and controller, allowing it to reach the maximum SATA sequential read and write speeds of 560 and 530MB/s, respectively.

If the SSD is properly connected but is not shown in the Drive Selection, try the following steps. Right-click the My Computer icon => Select Manage => Select Storage => Click Disk Management => Make sure that the disk is set up properly. Make sure that the disk is enabled and set as a Dynamic Disk.

Achieving the maximum SATA interface limit of 560/530 MB/s sequential speeds, the 870 QVO features improved random speed and sustained performance compared to the previous 860 QVO*. Intelligent TurboWrite accelerates write speeds and maintains long-term high performance with a larger variable buffer.

Samsung 870 QVO: basic

Both the 870 QVO and 870 EVO last 1.5 million hours.

* 5 years or TBW (250 GB: 75 TBW; 500 GB/1 TB: 150 TBW, 2/4 TB: 300 TBW), whichever comes first.

The 870 EVO achieves the maximum SATA interface limit of 560/530 MB/s sequential speeds. Everyday users can now enjoy professional-level SSD performance. Intelligent TurboWrite accelerates write speeds and maintains long-term high performance with a larger variable buffer.

If you're married to SATA pricing (or your PC can't handle anything else) but want to optimize 4K performance, the Samsung SSD 870 EVO is the best new SATA drive of the early days of 2021.

Samsung advertises the 870 Evo series with sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 530 MB/s for all capacities. Random write speeds for all capacities is rated for up to 88K IOPS and 98K IOPS for random read speeds.

Warning signs that your SSD is failing

The drive may just have some corrupted files, but it's also a sign that there is damage. Computer crashes on boot up: If your computer crashes when booting up, but after rebooting a couple of times it starts to work, this could indicate a problem with your SSD.

How do I check my Samsung SSD life? ›

You can check the health status of your Samsung SSD by running the Samsung Magician Tool. You may also run an independent software program that is capable of checking the SSD's S.M.A.R.T attributes.

If your drive has been outdated, the compatibility issue can prevent the recognition, leading to “Samsung SSD not showing up”. Step 1: Open the quick menu by pressing Win + X and choose Device Manager. Step 2: Expand Disk drives and right-click on the drive to choose Update driver.

Samsung 870 EVO – Best SATA SSD

It's the fastest SATA SSD we've tested, it's available in up to 4TB of capacity, and it's exceedingly affordable given its speed. Enough said, really—though Samsung's killer Magician SSD management software and long warranty period also deserve a shout-out.

While you might be able to score a SATA SSD for pennies on the dollar right now, that's not always a good thing, since you still want quality to protect your files, and the Samsung 870 Evo is a great SSD for the job. It's not too expensive at higher capacities, and the 870 Evo can go as large as 4TB, which is great.

The Bottom Line

The Samsung SSD 870 EVO offers the peak of Serial ATA SSD performance, and moves so fast in 4K random read and write operations you'd almost be forgiven for confusing it with PCI Express 3.0.

Samsung rates the 870 EVO to deliver sequential speeds of up to 560/530 MBps and sustain up to 98,000/88,000 random read/write IOPS across the board.

Transfer massive files within seconds with the incredible speed of USB 3.2 Gen 2 on the T7. The embedded PCIe® NVMe™ technology facilitates sequential read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s, respectively, making the T7 almost twice as fast as the previous T5 model.

The 970 EVO Plus can reach sequential read/write speeds up to 3,500/3,300 MB/s², up to 53%³ faster than the 970 EVO. Samsung's latest V-NAND—which brings greater NAND performance and higher power efficiency—along with optimized firmware, a proven in-house controller, and Intelligent TurboWrite boost speeds.
