Overview

The 870 EVO is the SATA SSD that everyone compares everything else to. 560 MB/s reads, 530 MB/s writes - that is as fast as SATA gets. It has a DRAM cache, which matters more for SATA drives than NVMe because it keeps random performance consistent. If you are upgrading an older laptop or desktop that only has SATA ports, this is the one to buy. The 5-year warranty and 600 TBW endurance are best-in-class for SATA.
