With all that said, as a general rule of thumb, you can expect the Samsung EVO to last longer than the Samsung QVO, but don’t forget the disclaimer above: A lot of it comes down to circumstance.

While there aren't a ton of innovations on offer with Samsung's SSD 870 EVO, the incremental improvements that Samsung has made both to its flash technology and its controllers looks to have translated into some decent gains for the drive's 4K random read and write performance.clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604439174-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604441206-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604441267-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604425484-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-242-207-243_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604425610-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604425567-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604427446-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-81_ts-1604429495-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604424817-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604424939-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, In each of these tests, the Samsung SSD 870 EVO proved itself not only as a leader among SATA drives, but also a regular competitor with both PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0-based NVMe M.2 drives. While both of those standards are great for what they do (hitting all-time sequential throughput records), their added bandwidth doesn't always translate to better 4K random read and write scores, which is what a large percentage of SSD buyers in this category tend to care about most. elzm74yxzp4swx5bs7cq-p4s4el-cd1a19887-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, elzm74yxzp4swx5bt4ka-p0qvim-2e8a5e71e-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, elzm74yxzp4swx5bt6hq-pzy1yp-35d9d01e0-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, elzm74yxzp4swx5bt7mq-p1duy0-1060998fa-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, elzm74yxzp4swx5bucja-p0twy9-19851792c-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, elzm74yxzp4swx5bzqza-pn76ir-1c0c55ff7-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, elzm74yxzp4swx5bzsda-pqodge-888ec876f-clientnsv4-s.akamaihd.net, clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-23-203-249-90_ts-1604429563-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-95-101-129-82_ts-1604425062-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-95-101-143-18_ts-1604429398-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-95-101-143-24_ts-1604429274-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 34-246-182-217_s-95-101-143-24_ts-1604429365-clienttons-s.akamaihd.net,

Samsung 870 EVO 4TB SATA SSD Review - TweakTown Samsung 870 EVO 4TB SATA SSD Review - TweakTown

It'll be a sweater-weather kind of day down below before we see SATA 3.0 speeds make any sort of jumps in sequential throughput, so until then, companies like Samsung are focusing their storage efforts where they can: improving speeds for real-world 4K random read and write scenarios.Of course, even with all those big wins in our games and programs testing, ultimately the SSD 870 EVO is still based on SATA, and SATA has a speed ceiling that even the best controllers and NAND flash in the world can't break through. Triple-level cell (TLC) NAND offers a higher storage density than the previous two, but it also tends to have worse performance and longevity. It holds 3 bits of data per cell. clienttons-s.akamaihd.net, 684dd305.akstat.io, 684dd306.akstat.io, 684dd307.akstat.io, 684dd308.akstat.io, 684dd309.akstat.io, 684dd30a.akstat.io, 684dd30c.akstat.io, 684dd30d.akstat.io, 6852bd07.akstat.io, 6852bd08.akstat.io, 6852bd09.akstat.io, 6852bd0a.akstat.io, 6852bd0b.akstat.io, 6852bd0c.akstat.io, 6852bd0d.akstat.io, 6852bd0e.akstat.io, 6852bd0f.akstat.io, 6852bd10.akstat.io, 6852bd11.akstat.io, 6852bd12.akstat.io, The numbers we saw out of the overall PCMark 10 score are quite promising, putting this SATA drive in the same leagues as M.2 PCI Express 3.0 NVMe drives like the ADATA Spectrix S40G or Crucial P2. The Pro SSDs remain the most expensive that Samsung has on offer. In comparison, both the EVO and the QVO are more reasonably priced. Of the three of them, the new QVO drives are by far the cheapest.

The 4TB Samsung SSD 870 EVO is ratedat 2,400TBW with a five-year warranty (whichever happens first, the warranty end or the write limit), which is right within standard expectations for SATA-based TLC drives these days at that capacity. TBW scales with capacity, as you can see in the chart above. Although prices may vary between models and, of course, storage capacities, QVO drives are generally much cheaper than EVO. With that said, the lower price comes at a performance cost.

If you're married to SATA pricing (or your PC can't handle anything else) but want to optimize 4K performance, the Samsung SSD 870 EVO is the best new SATA drive of the early days of 2021. It should be at the top of anyone's list who wants the best combination of performance, product quality, and price in a 2.5-incher. As such, there's probably no need to rush out and grab one right now, as you can still get the same sizes of the equally fast 860 Evo for a lot less. However, as the 860 Evo starts to go end of life and becomes increasingly hard to get hold of, there's little doubt that the 870 Evo is primed and ready to take its place as the new go-to SATA SSD for gaming.
