Samsung 870 EVO 2,5"-ssd pops online holding 4TB

Samsung 870 EVO 2,5

Samsung seems to be relaunching its popular SSD series this year. The Samsung 870 EVO SSD should offer slightly higher speed (same TBW) and a 4TB model.

Samsung has not yet officially presented the SSD 870 EVO, but it is already listed at some European and North American dealers. According to their information, Samsung will offer a total of five variants, each offering 250 or 500 gigabytes and one, two or four terabytes of storage capacity. As for the transfer rates possible with the new Samsung 870 EVO SSDs, as in the case of the other specifications, only sparse information is available so far. Specifically, Samsung speaks of up to 560 megabytes per second reading and up to 530 megabytes per second writing speed. As before, the connection is made via a 6 Gbps SATA III interface.

Samsung promises a service life of up to 2400 TBW (Terabytes Written) for the 4 TB model and the information on the service life has remained unchanged. The official manufacturer warranty is therefore again limited to a maximum of five years.

Wonder if this utilizes the QLC layer instead of TLC allowing for higher capacity but then the actual life time should be changed so if that value remains identical maybe not.
Seems the best method for getting a higher capacity without totally ballooning out the cost for what dual layer or even triple layer would cost once you pass the TB storage capacity.

Hard to say though, Samsung and their V-Nand and what it actually corresponds to as well ha ha, well it's not too important for storage capacity but the durability is somewhat affected and I believe it also alters the speed somewhat but the larger capacity drives seem to be faster whether that's the cells or the additional cache I'm not entirely sure as to how this works. (Bit of both perhaps.)

Affordable 3 - 4 TB SSD's for replacing the storage HDD's would certainly be nice too, still plenty fast and with other advantages over the mechanical drives just that the price tag makes it less practical at the moment. :D
(Even with SATA3 sustained 400 - 500 MB/s speeds are a step up from 50 - 100 after all and it doesn't use up additional M.2 or PCI-E slots which can hold the main drive.)

EDIT: OS actually being good at moving multiple smaller files over few much larger files would be a plus at some point too but it is what it is, other software tend to manage it better too for whatever reason.
(It's still generally some version NTFS with GPT after all.)

I need to find a large (2TB+), cheap SSD for my son's rig. He already has a 1TB nvme but it would be nice to replace his mechanical 2TB with something faster. It doesn't need to be light speed, even something as meager as 350-400mb/sec would be worth buying if the price was right.

The price hike from a fast, large mechanical HDD to the cheapest, large SSD is no small gap, it's the grand canyon.

Pick (like me) 2TB Samsung Evo 860 and don't look back :P

Yep QLC, and it exist in 8gb too

it may be the Grand Canyon, but oh my the views.
seriously though the performance differential is greater than the price differential.
but more importantly you don't have to worry about frag/defrag or the fragile physical nature of many tiny platters spinning at 5600-7000rpm.
