- Up to 30% improved sustained performance further extends SSD endurance
SINGAPORE – 20 January 2021 – Samsung Electronics Singapore, the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced the launch of 870 EVO SSD, the company’s latest SATA solution in its world’s best-selling consumer SSD series[1]. The new drive combines best-in-class performance and reliability, offering an all-in-one storage solution for various consumers from general PC users to IT professionals.
“As remote work arrangements continue to drive demand for better computing performance, fast-performing SSDs like the 870 EVO can improve everyday computing experience while offering better SSD reliability and compatibility. The new addition to our SATA SSD range delivers performance with faster speeds that will delight both casual laptop and desktop PC users, as well as Network Attached Storage (NAS) users,” said Jacus Long, Director & Head, Display and Brand Memory Business, Samsung Electronics Singapore.
The 870 EVO features the latest V-NAND and controller, allowing it to reach the maximum SATA sequential read and write speeds of 560 and 530MB/s respectively. Along with a large variable SLC buffer, the drive’s Intelligent TurboWrite technology helps maintain its peak performance levels. Compared to the 860 model, the 870 EVO enables enhanced user experiences when multi-tasking, web browsing or simply booting up PCs with up to 38% improvement in random read speed.
Harnessing its accumulated experience and expertise in storage memory technologies, Samsung designs all SSD components in-house to ensure that every part works together cohesively. This has culminated in the 870 EVO offering up to 30% improvement in sustained performance over the 860 EVO[2], a class-leading terabytes written (TBW) rating of 2,400TB[3], or a five-year limited warranty, for its 4TB model[4].
The 870 EVO also provides broad compatibility with many computing devices and the most up-to-date PC features. The drive can be used with all devices that have 2.5-inch SATA interface connection. Moreover, with its power saving sleep mode, the 870 EVO is compatible with devices that support Window’s Modern Standby function, offering added convenience to PC users[5].
Samsung is committed to a more accountable and greener future, whereby it continues to improve energy efficiency and recyclability, and reducing hazardous substances in products. The production of the new 870 EVO minimizes carbon footprint throughout the entire process, offering consumer choice in choosing greener products.
