Samsung debuts new 870 EVO consumer SSD
Samsung introduces a new SATA solution that can work for general PC users and IT professionals. The 870 EVO is an all-around storage solution that promises "best-in-class performance and reliability." It uses Samsung's latest V-NAND and controller to reach maximum SATA sequential read and write speeds of 560 and 530MB/s, respectively. It vows to maintain peak performance levels with its large variable SLC buffer and the drive's Intelligent TurboWrite tech.
Compared to the previous 860 models, the 870 EVO has an improvement of nearly 38% in random read speed, which should give you a better experience when it comes to multitasking, web browsing, and even booting up the PC. It also has a 30% sustained performance improvement over the 860 EVO. Since Samsung designs all SSD components in-house, it guarantees that all parts work cohesively.
