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.
