[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB because I was running out of storage space on my previous SSD. Installation was quick and easy, and the drive was recognized immediately without any issues. Performance has been smooth and reliable, with fast program launches and file transfers. One thing I really like is that it runs noticeably cooler than I expected, even during extended use. Since I work with a lot of files and use a significant amount of storage, the 1TB capacity has been very useful. I'm happy enough with this drive that I'm planning to buy another one of the same model soon. Overall, it's a reliable SSD with great performance and low heat output.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded to the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD and it has been excellent. The speed improvement was noticeable right away — my computer boots much faster and programs load quickly with no lag. The 1TB capacity gives me plenty of space for files, games, and everyday use without worrying about running out of storage.
The performance has been reliable and consistent, even with daily use. Installation was simple, and the drive runs quietly and smoothly. It feels durable and well made, and I trust it to keep my data safe. Overall, this SSD offers great speed, reliability, and value for the price. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their computer storage!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly samsung drives have been super reliable. I remember getting 64gb ssd 850 and while at the time it took a bit for bios to deal with Ssds vs Hdd it was amazing to see a boot up after 1p second vs 1 minute. Then eventually 870gb replaced it since 64gb as a boot drive and the 512 hdd wasn't cutting it. At this point ssds we mainstream so migrating to the 870 tb was much easier and the performance( 550Mbs/500Mbs) was great over almost a decade plus the was an ability to use ram as a cache so kept my system feeling snappy up until Nvmes because affordable. I still have a small collection of these from old PCs I built as external drives and not once have they let me down

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung 870 EVO SATA 2.5" SSD 1TB is an excellent choice if you're looking to boost your computer's performance. It offers fast read and write speeds, making everything from booting up your system to loading applications much quicker. The installation is straightforward, and it’s compatible with most laptops and desktops that support SATA. One of the best features is its reliability—Samsung has a good track record with their SSDs, and this one is no exception. It’s also reasonably priced for what you get, which is a solid, high-performing storage solution that should last for years. If you need more storage or want to speed up an older system, the 870 EVO is a great pick.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung 870 EVO 1TB is an outstanding SATA SSD that offers a significant upgrade over traditional hard drives and even older SATA SSDs. It provides a noticeable improvement in system responsiveness, application loading times, and file transfer speeds within the limitations of the SATA interface. It's a reliable, well-performing, and feature-rich drive that is highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their storage on a system with a 2.5-inch SATA bay. However, if your system supports NVMe SSDs and you require the absolute fastest transfer speeds, you might consider exploring those options.

I bought my Samsung 870 Evo 1tb ssd to replace the hhd in my Xbox x (older version). It was like night and day. In my online game I play. Destiny 2, I would be flying while my clanmates were already on the ground fighting.
After the hhd swap to ssd. I was on the ground fighting before some of my clanmates. Everything on my Xbox did a total 360. Everything was so much faster my gaming experience went from a zombie type feeling to a run away train feeling.
If you are on the fence, just thinking about making the switch from hhd to ssd, I highly recommend this product! I promise you'll thank me later.
P.S I can't take a Pic of the inside of my Xbox. I made the switch about 6 months ago.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 870 EVO SATA 2.5" SSD 1 Tb drive last summer for my aging desktop computer and the change was significant. The speed increase was beyond my expectations, making the unit act as if it were new. Start-up was much less than a minute whereas before I had to wait up to 3-5 minutes. All of the programs that I use daily come up immediately not the 2-3 minutes I used to wait.
As a result of the speed-up, I purchased a second 870 EVO 256 megabytes for my laptop and was rewarded with an equal increase in speed from start-up to loading programs. I highly recommend the 870 EVO SSD drives to anyone suffering from a sluggish computer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always loved Samsung products. Being an avid PC gamer, I do what I can to put as much Samsung into my computer. I have always wanted an M.2 but never saw the bed too upgrade my SSD. I an aware that an M.2 is lightyears faster when it comes to storage. It doesn't seem to matter though co.paring to my SSD. That's the only thing holding me back from upgrading is that I don't have any complaints when it comes to my SSD. I'm sure one day I will upgrade to the next Samsung storage device, right now though my SSD is still kicking strong and providing me with a great gaming experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only use Samsung SSD's for the main OS drive on all of my computer builds- weather it's for myself or a custom order. The reliability and speed of Samsung drives are simply unmatched by any other company. I love that I can install one, and it works perfectly and it will continue to work perfectly for a very long time- they have the durability to outperform its own read/write specs. I only use a 1TB drive, but thats plenty for a main OS drive. With the market trends on SSDs as of 2026, I may have to harvest some of my less vital organs if I ever want to upgrade to a 2TB or more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my 1st 1TB SSD and it has served as my mass-storsge drive in three computers. I love it. Plug-and-play, hot swap and so fast! File transfers are a snap. And I've never suffered any data loss. It's durable, as well. It's been dropped more than once and while technically not a portable, external drive it's served on those roles admirably. Not surprising as every piece of Samsung gear I've owned including several Galaxy flagship, SSDs, an expansion card and even an old, beat up, second-hand chromebook have been high quality and reliable. Definitely will purchase Samsung ahain.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this SSD a couple weeks ago and am using it as additional memory for my Xbox one X. It is by far the best SSD product I have ever used. Even though it's almost completely full the games I have saved to it still have no problem running at all no lag, not skipping, and also no difference in the quality of the picture. All those things are what I have had issues with in the past so to finally find one that runs not only to my expectations but above that is even better. I would give it 10 stars is it allowed that but I can only do 5. GREAT PRODUCT KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK SAMSUNG.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product about half a year ago as a way to both increase my computer's storage and backing up important files, both of which the SSD does extremely well. As someone who tinkers with a lot of technology, both old and new, I've seen a large spectrum of the best and worst storage devices on the market. So far, the 870 EVO series has been extremely reliable and simple to use, plug and play. I have reasonable faith in this drive to preserve my files, and so far have seen such results. A solid price for a reliable and sizable storage unit, easily could recommend again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD in my desktop PC and immediately noticed faster startup times compared to my previous storage drive. Applications open quickly, games load faster, and moving large files between folders is smooth and responsive.
I use this SSD daily for storing documents, media files, and several games. The 1TB capacity gives me enough room without constantly having to manage storage space. Installation was simple, and the drive was recognized by my system right away.
During everyday use, the SSD has remained fast and stable. Whether I'm working, browsing, or gaming, performance has been consistent and reliable. I also appreciate how quiet and efficient it is since there are no moving parts.
My only minor complaint is that I would like to see even more storage options in the same product line. Other than that, I have been very satisfied with the overall experience.
The Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD has been a dependable upgrade for my PC, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for reliable and responsive storage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded my old laptop with the Samsung 870 SATA 1TB SSD, and the difference is night and day. What used to take minutes to boot now happens in seconds, and programs open almost instantly. Tasks that felt sluggish before, like editing photos or multitasking, are now incredibly smooth. This SSD has breathed new life into my aging laptop, making it feel like a brand-new machine. The installation was straightforward, and with Samsung’s Magician software, optimizing and managing the drive was a breeze. It’s a fantastic upgrade that’s well worth the investment!

This new drive made the computer come up and be ready to log in in 30 seconds... vast improvement from the 5400 RPM drive...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung 870 EVO 1TB is a solid choice if you’re looking to upgrade your storage without breaking the bank. It hits the max speeds you can get on a SATA drive—around 560 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write—so it’s perfect for faster boot times, quick file access, and just making an older system feel snappier overall. It’s also built to last, with a 600TBW rating and a 5-year warranty, which gives you some peace of mind.
What makes it stand out is how much you get for the price. It’s not the cheapest SSD out there, but for the performance and reliability Samsung packs in, it’s easily one of the best deals in the SATA category. If you're upgrading from a hard drive or just need solid, dependable storage, this one’s hard to beat.

I love the speed and productivity that it allows, and the fact that I was able to speed up my computer by removing all my video pictures, audio files.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to upgrade my laptop and I will say that the integration was seemless. This SSD, like all my other Samsung products is in a class above the rest. It gave me fast read/write speeds with zero glitches. Before I retired my laptop I ran a quick health check and it had no bad sectors and I do a clean install sometimes 2 a year and consider myself a power user and popped this drive out to throw somewhere else later. I always recommend Samsung products to the many people who ask me for recommendations because their quality control is always a cut above the competition, in other words you won't need to mess around with replacement products if you buy Samsung = 0 downtime. There really isn't any other company I can say that about.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son-in law was running out of storage on his Alien R4 desktop. I saw that the machine had room for two more internal hard drives. Since SATA SSDs can be used in place of a SATA HDD I purchased the Samsung EVO SATA as a Christmas gift. I installed, initialized and validated the SSD in about fifteen minutes without any tools (Thank you Dell).
The 6 Gbps speed maxes out the SATA interface, so it as fast as a SATA can be.
The son-in-law is much happier knowing he has another 1 TB of additional storage. And still has room to grow, if needed.

I got this 2ish to 3 years ago and it just failed, it not only took all the data I had on it but did it as I was doing something else causing my computer to crash then to put salt in the cut it kept reporting that it was there to my OS causing that to begin glitching as it tried to access the data but couldn't so I wasn't even able to figure out it was this until I pulled all my drives and tested them 1 at a time. Now nothing is recognizing it not my desktop or the desktop of my friend who helped me test it so I don't think any data can be saved.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only purchase Samsung SSDs for both my PC and my server. They are highly dependable, I have used them for many, many years and have never had any issues. The 1TB capacity is all I need for each card, as I segment my drives based on their usage (gaming, file storage, media share, etc). They are compatible with both my custom built gaming rig and my Supermicro rack-mounted server, never had any performance issues with either. Magician Software for troubleshooting memory issues also has a very intuitive and user-friendly interface as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB and I'm absolutely thrilled. The speed is impressive; my system boots in seconds, and applications open instantly. With 1TB, I have plenty of space for everything, from the operating system to my favorite games. Samsung's reliability, backed by its 5-year warranty, gives me great peace of mind. Although it's not an NVMe, for the SATA interface, its performance is unbeatable. I highly recommend this SSD to anyone looking for a dramatic improvement in their computer's fluidity without overspending.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded my laptop with the Samsung 870 EVO 1 TB SSD, and the difference is night and day. Boot time went from almost a minute to under 10 seconds, and everything from launching apps to transferring large files feels instant. Installation was incredibly easy — plug it in, clone your old drive using Samsung Magician, and you’re good to go.
The build quality feels solid, and Samsung’s software makes it simple to monitor drive health and performance. I’ve used other SSD brands before, but none have matched the consistency and reliability of Samsung’s EVO line.
If you’re looking to breathe new life into an older system or just want a dependable storage upgrade, the 870 EVO is worth every penny. Fast, quiet, and rock-solid — highly recommended!

I got one about year ago and it had bad firmware but I worked with support and was able to send it in for repair/replacement since it was still well within warranty. I get it, people mess up from time to time but at least support didn't try to push the blame on me at any more. I bought another as a replacement for that one and I have 3 others all the exact same. I'd had 2x 840 EVOs before this and they held up like a champ each of them. I only replaced them for something bigger. So I fully expect these to perform the same way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded my computer's hard drive to a Samsung 870 EVO SSD, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer! My old drive was about 12 years old, and it was definitely showing its age. Everything was slow, and programs took forever to load. But after swapping it out for the 870 EVO, my computer feels completely reborn! It's lightning fast, everything runs smoothly, and I can finally enjoy a seamless computing experience. I highly recommend this upgrade to anyone with an older computer - it's truly worth the investment!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this drive to replace a 5400 RPM HDD that came in my new laptop. The old drive was slow and took a LONG time to boot and get me to a working desktop. This drive has taken my time from over 7 minutes to less than one minute. Reading from and writing to the drive is very fast with this drive and running some tests with CrystalDiskMark showed that the drive easily reaches the max speeds for the interface. In fact, I believe this drive's performance is bottlenecked by the limitations the SATA protocol imposes on it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned my Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD (SATA 2.5") for over five years, and it has easily been one of the most reliable components in my entire PC build. From day one it has performed flawlessly—no slowdowns, no errors, no failures. The value was great at the time of purchase, and for what it offers in speed and longevity, the price point was unbeatable.
I ended up buying a second one because the experience was so good, and I still recommend the 870 EVO to friends who are building their own PCs or looking to upgrade storage. Installation is easy, and the slim 2.5" form factor makes it simple to tuck away behind the motherboard tray for a clean, seamless setup.
If you want a dependable SATA SSD that lasts, the 870 EVO continues to be one of the best choices out there.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung 870 EVO 1TB stands as arguably the most refined, reliable, and high-performing 2.5-inch SATA drive ever built. However, because it relies on the legacy SATA III interface, its place in modern computing depends entirely on what kind of system you are upgrading.
The Verdict: 4.5 / 5 Stars
The Bottom Line: If you need to breathe new life into an aging laptop, maximize the storage of an older desktop, or simply need an incredibly stable secondary drive for games and media, the 870 EVO 1TB is the gold standard. But if your system supports M.2 NVMe drives, you should pass on this and go for PCIe technology instead.
Performance & Specs
Because it utilizes the SATA III interface, the 870 EVO hits a hard physical ceiling. It maximizes this bandwidth perfectly, pushing right up against the theoretical limits of the cable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid, reliable upgrade — does exactly what it promises
I picked up the 870 EVO 1TB to replace an old SATA SSD in my desktop, and it's been a smooth experience so far. Installation was plug-and-play — just swapped it into the 2.5" bay and it was recognized immediately, no fuss.
Performance-wise, it hits right around the numbers Samsung advertises. Boot times are noticeably snappier, and large file transfers (I move a lot of video files) feel consistent without any weird slowdowns once the cache fills up, which was an issue I've had with cheaper drives in the past.
I also appreciate that Samsung includes their Magician software — it's handy for keeping an eye on drive health and running firmware updates without needing third-party tools. For anyone size doesn't matter — I mean, obviously it maxes out at SATA speeds, so don't expect NVMe-level performance — but for a standard SATA upgrade, this is about as good as it gets.
Build quality feels solid, runs cool, and hasn't given me a single hiccup after a few months of daily use. If you're upgrading from an old hard drive or an aging SSD and don't have M.2 slots to spare, this is a safe, dependable choice.
Would recommend — especially if you catch it on sale.

Purchased for my dad's xmas gift. The Samsung cloning app made transfering sys files on older Win 8 Dell XPS effortless. Quick ship & paid with Samsung rewards. Been 5 months without issue. Computer's much faster overall compared to the old 1tb hdd 7200rpm, now a backup drive. This also fixed a periodic Win crashing problem. Startup time and file transfer speeds are most improved. Buying again (or m.2 evo) when enough rewards points saved.

I'd recommend it to end it absolutely anyone who's looking for a two and a half inch SSD hard drive for the speed and the money and the read and write capabilities of it..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really fast ssdLightning-fast boot times, it's a game-changer. Seriously, the computer flies now, no more waiting around. A terabyte is a ton of space, enough for all my files and more. The price wasn't bad either, a worthwhile investment for sure. It was super easy to install, just plugged it in and it worked. So smooth and quiet, you barely know it's there. This thing is a real upgrade, highly recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgrading my old HDD to an SSD was a game-changer. Boot times are insanely fast, worlds load in a blink, and everything feels snappier. If you're looking to breathe new life into your ps4, this is the best upgrade you can make!
Tech Savvy Not Required
Even if you're not super tech-savvy, upgrading to an SSD is a relatively easy process. There are plenty of tutorials online, and the performance boost is so worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These SSD hard drives are by far the best on the market in its category. If you are into the benchmark testing then you will be pleased to see this product beats all other competition brands. But I am a hands on testing kind of guy, so I will push these drives to the max for years and have had zero problems. Other competitors won't even last a year. This is a very reliable product and I wouldn't buy anything else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung Magician works good. Requires 5 V SATA supply, found on optical SATA, to register SSD in Windows. Optic cable adapter can be used to replace optic disc with another SSD. My laptop was held back with half memory and slow SATA 2, before upgrades. Now security software does not cause system to crash or lock up. And, updates function properly. It is just what I needed. Do not waste money on USB SATA adapters.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This CD was purchased a little over a year ago, and there have been no problems with it during this time. I am completely satisfied with it. the only thing is, when installing the disk, I had to read the instructions and download the application, but the application is very useful, there is information about the status of the disk in real time. In general, for its modest price, the EIO is a very good device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started to build my own computers when I was 16 years old and due to costs I would only use HDDs. That was until I was gifted an SSD and once I installed that into a computer the speed was better. I had always thought that how much faster can they SSD really be. Well once I bought the 870 Evo SSD I have never gone back to any other Hard drive, it is incredibly fast, high security, and easy to install.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always preferred Samsung as a brand and when I discovered that I could use them for memory I was very excited especially due to the fact that they offered one terabyte option at a reasonable price which is rare for a Big Brand the device performed perfectly throughout its entire lifetime to this day again I can't stress enough to value I received at the price point I received it at, bravo Samsung

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I bought this hard-drive for my laptop that I was upgrading.
I have a Toshiba satellite laptop.
The whole point for me was to transfer a mirror image of the original drive and benefit from the the new SATA tech.
Involved a caddy mod and sata ribbon.
Gotta say Samsung's Magician program automatically detected the process and copied the files and info
Flawless!!
Couldn't be happier ☺️

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The EVO 870 SSD has been my go to for capacity and flawless access to all my computer games. It's quite, low heat and doesn't distract me when I'm pwning the competition. I'll be getting a second one soon to consolidate my older games and pictures off those winding clunky aged drives. It's definitely worth the money, effort and time to clean out the CPU tower, and I'm running 10 degrees cooler.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD for a few months now, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance. Installation was super easy—literally plug and play. I cloned my old drive using Samsung’s Data Migration software, and it worked flawlessly. The speed boost was immediately noticeable. My boot times went from over a minute to under 15 seconds, and loading large files or applications feels almost instant now. It’s quiet, runs cool, and has made my PC feel brand new again. What I really appreciate is the reliability. I’ve used Samsung drives in the past and never had issues, and this one is no exception. You can tell it’s built with quality components, and the 5-year warranty gives extra peace of mind. If you’re on the fence, just go for it. The 870 EVO is a solid upgrade for anyone looking to breathe new life into an older system or expand storage on a new build. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product a couple months ago and installed software required for it to be compatible with a Playstation. I installed it into my PS4 PRO and it's been running amazing ever since. Beforehand, the system used to hiccup and was hesitant to load things. But now I can install updates and load into games at speeds almost comparable to that of the PS5. Definitely an amazing product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD SATA 2.5” for a while now, and the experience has been excellent. I installed it on my PC to improve performance, and the difference is immediately noticeable. The system boots up much faster, programs open in seconds, and file transfers are incredibly fast.
Additionally, installation was simple, and since it's a SATA SSD, it was fully compatible with my system. In terms of reliability, Samsung has always stood out, and this model is no exception. The V-NAND technology ensures great durability, which gives me peace of mind in the long run.
Another positive aspect is that, despite being a high-performance storage drive, its power consumption is low—ideal for keeping the system efficient. Overall, I would recommend the Samsung 870 EVO to anyone looking to upgrade their PC or laptop without spending too much, while still getting a high-quality, reliable product.
