Samsung 870 Evo 8TB SSD Specs

Samsung introduced the 870 Evo series in 2021 with capacities ranging from 250GB to 4TB. The new 8TB model doubles the previous maximum capacity, providing more options for users with heavy storage needs.

The 870 Evo SSD achieves sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and write speeds of up to 530 MB/s, which are the highest possible speeds for the SATA interface. Samsung uses Intelligent TurboWrite technology to deliver consistent write performance over extended periods. Everyday users can expect professional-grade performance for tasks like gaming, media editing, and large file transfers.

Samsung designed the 8TB model for reliability and longevity. The SSD includes a five-year limited warranty and a 4,800 TBW (terabytes written) endurance rating, making it suitable for data-intensive workloads like 4K/8K video processing. The 870 EVO uses Samsung’s V-NAND TLC memory and the in-house MKX controller to ensure stable performance and compatibility across a wide range of devices.

This new SSD supports a standard 2.5-inch SATA form factor, which allows it to work with most desktop PCs, laptops, and NAS devices. Samsung Magician software lets users easily migrate data, monitor drive health, and install firmware updates. The SSD weighs approximately 48 grams and maintains compatibility with SATA 6Gb/s connections, while also supporting older SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s standards.

In related news, SanDisk has launched three new portable SSDs with up to 4TB storage and speeds reaching 4,000MB/s, while Lexar also unveiled AI-focused storage solutions, portable SSDs, and high-speed microSD cards at CES 2026.
