Rundown
Reviewers from Anandtech have found the following[***]:
The Samsung 870 EVO turns in class-leading scores on almost all of the performance metrics. On the Light test, the measurable but imperceptible performance advantages have basically disappeared. The Full System Drive test from the PCMark 10 Storage suite shows a much smaller advantage for the NVMe drives.

Reviewers from Techradar have found the following[***]:
The Samsung 870 Evo features 128-layer V-NAND TLC memory and a new controller. In every benchmark we run on the 2TB model, it does step out ahead of the older 860 Evo. It even pushes the Team T-Force Delta Max aside with a lead in all of our benchmarks. If you've filled up all the M.2 slots in your computer, it won't be a bad choice.

Samsung's 870 EVO is the most refined version yet, courtesy of its latest 6th-gen 128-layer V-NAND TLC flash and an updated MKX ‘Metis' SATA 6Gbps controller. The drives can absorb up to 150TB of write data per 250GB of capacity, meaning the 4TB model is rated to handle 2,400 TB of writes within its warranty period. Each capacity comes at premium MSRPs, with prices ranging from $0.12-$0.16 per gigabyte.
