High-capacity solid state drives, irrespective if they support the M.2 or SATA interface, are ridiculously expensive and if you are working with large files, you will need a product that is reliable, affordable and fast, all at once. Well, your prayers have been answered, because the Samsung 870 EVO solid state drive with 2TB capacity is available for just $249.99. This is one of the lowest prices we have seen for the SATA III-based SSD, so if you want to give your desktop or notebook computer a nice little upgrade, look no further.
The Samsung 870 EVO 2TB comes with a 5-year limited warranty and can handle up to 1200 terabytes written to it. As far as endurance goes, you will have to write two terabytes of data daily around 600 times for it to fail, and that is a whole lot of transfers in between. By the time the SSD is nearing its final breath, you will likely be searching for a new SSD. You also get Samsung’s legendary Data Migration software, where you can seamlessly transfer data from your primary drive onto the 870 EVO when it is connected to the system.
It also boasts up to 560MB/s data transfer speeds, but if you want something that goes beyond that, check out the 970 EVO. The 2TB version is available for $309.99, making it a tremendous deal because there are times when that price has jumped to $429.99. If you have an available M.2 slot that supports PCIe NVMe SSDs, be sure to pick this up as well. The 970 EVO comes with the same 5-year limited warranty, and it boasts data transfer speeds of a whopping 3500MB/s.
Irrespective of which drive you pick up, you will be doing yourself and your system a tremendous favor.
