The slower SATA III solid-state drives have been succeeded by the more powerful and compact M.2 PCIe NVMe ones, which only means that the older-generation models will provide buyers with amazing value. The Samsung 870 EVO is one such deal on Amazon that you should not ignore because the 4TB version of the SSD has been discounted by 42 percent on the online retailer, bringing its price down to $285.61. If you are looking for a drive to store heaps of data and need to access it quickly, we have no better recommendation than the 870 EVO.
In terms of speeds, the 4TB 870 EVO supports the SATA III standard, meaning that its sequential read and write speeds will hover around the 530MB/s - 560MB/s range, providing decent performance for a variety of tasks. For laptop owners that can fit in larger SATA III drives like this one, and if they are running low on storage, the 870 EVO is an excellent choice, but the options do not stop here. Thanks to the high endurance rating of the solid-state drive, it has been tested to thrive in several environments, such as being used in a NAS or for video recording for surveillance purposes.
Another reason why we highly recommend the 4TB variant is its durability. Samsung claims that the 870 EVO has a rating of 2,400TBW (terabytes written) and if that was not enough, the company provides a 5-year limited warranty for the SSD. If you have intentions to use the 870 EVO as an external drive, we recommend looking at the Samsung T7 instead. The 4TB external SSD is 40 percent off on Amazon, is currently listed for $299.98, and features a rugged exterior to survive the elements.
