Anandtech – Samsung Introduces 870 EVO SATA SSDs: 128L TLC With an Updated Controller
“We don’t have a full review of the 870 EVO ready today because the timing is rather awkward…Preliminary results show that the 870 EVO improves performance across the board for our AnandTech Storage Bench trace tests, though with slight increases in power consumption. Samsung’s claim of 38% better QD1 random read performance also looks to be an exaggeration, but we’ll be back later this week with a full analysis of the test results.”
