Product overview

Launched on January 19, 2021, the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB (MZ-77E1T0) is the SATA successor to the 860 EVO in Samsung’s consumer EVO family, built around V‑NAND TLC and a DRAM‑equipped controller. As a 2.5-inch SATA 6 Gb/s drive, it reaches up to 560/530 MB/s sequential speeds and supports Samsung Magician.

Positioned as an entry-tier SSD in a mostly NVMe market, it exists to deliver dependable, consistent SATA storage for systems without M.2 or with spare 2.5-inch bays. The 1TB model includes a full DRAM cache and carries a 600 TBW/5‑year rating, making it well-suited as a boot drive or game library and a straightforward budget upgrade for desktops and laptops.
