I have been a Samsung SSD fan for some time now. As for the 2.5-inch form factor units, the 860 series is a solid performer and has met my needs very well. I am a moderate gamer, creator, and programmer. To this day, I have never had an 860 fail in any way (knock on wood). My setup consists of rack style removable 2.5-inch form factor SSD's for my two workstations.
I am not very impressed with the 870 series at all. I have two 870's and one of them developed issues after only several months of service. Also, just reading some of the bad reports on the internet about the 870's has turned me off. So, I continue to hunt for reasonably priced 2.5 inch 860's. When it comes to capacities of 1TB and larger, the 860's are priced much higher per GB then the 870's are at this time.
There is a newer model of this item:
SAMSUNG SSD 870 EVO, 1 TB, Form Factor 2.5”, Intelligent Turbo Write, Magician 6 Software, Black (Internal SSD)

This is a piece of junk
I am trying to get the main legacy channels that were part of original tv in my area like CBS, ABC, Fox, and local news affiliate. I moved it all around my room and in a window and most of the time it only started picking up channels in the 20’s skipping channels 3 through 20, more or less. Under low gain setting or high gain setting, I got the same number of channels, yes it picks up 75+ channels, but I’ll never watch any of these, most likely. I did once get 1 legacy channel and that was it. My $5 antenna from Chinese retail company picks up 130 channels, and I was only missing ABC. This brand was discounted by a third, now I know why it’s junk, don’t buy it.

When it comes to SATA3 SSD’s, there were only 2 brands for me which I looked at – Samsung and Crucial.
This time I opted for this Samsung SSD 860 Evo 1 TB SATA3 to replace a standard HDD as a secondary drive in my laptop – there was already a Nvme SSD as a primary drive for system, etc, but I was fed up with speeds of traditional HDDs.
Installation was super easy – I simply replaced a HDD with SSD. Nothing complicated at all – just swap and connect.
After powering on, my computer detected SSD without any issues and the only thing required was to format it to to desired format. All done within 30 minutes.
Did the swap change anything?
Abuslutely yes. My games load several times faster, searching my photo collection is superfast as well as access to my music library. Video editing, encoding and audio editing are absolutely hassle-free.
SSD does not also generate any noise and generates less heat, especially with normal usage.
I tested my Samsung 860 Evo with AS SSD and CrystalDiskMark – results are great, as expected (disk is half full/half empty) - please see the photos attached.
A few details about Samsung 860 Evo 1TB SATA3 (different models may have different specs):
- NAND: Samsung V-NAND TLC (aka. 3Bit MLC)
- Controller: Samsung MJX Controller
- Cache: 1GB LPDDR4
- 5 years warranty or 600TBW
- SATA3
Would I buy it again?
Absolutely yes.
I cannot imagine going back to HDDs, especially not for tasks I use it for. I used Samsung SSD 840 Pro previously, so I knew what to expect from Samsung SSDs (although I could not justify spending extra for Pro series this time).
I understand that the price of this disk has not changed for years nearly at all, but the reason for is that it is probably the best SATA3 SSD, which can be purchased.
It is also a great disk for PS4/PS4 Pro, although neither Xbox One nor Playstation 4 make a full use of SSD technology. Loading times are still better though, sometimes cut by half. Tested with PS4 Pro out of curiosity.
10/10 score and full recommendation.
Warning: Please do not make a mistake and do not buy Samsung QVO SSDs unless you are absolutely sure you want QVO series for some, unknown to me reason. They can be slightly cheaper (but sometimes can even be slightly more expensive), but their performance and reliability due to use of QLC NAND in comparison to Evo and Evo Plus (TLC NAND) is a lot worse. They are still good SSDs in comparison to other brands QLC SSDs but in my opinion there is no reason to buy them as Evo SSDs are a lot better and for similar price.
