Reviewers from ndtv have found the following[***]:
Samsung has launched the SSD 870 Evo only in the 2.5-inch form factor. There's no mSATA option anymore, but more surprisingly, there's no M.2 option either. This release is purely about Samsung moving to newer tech and optimising its production. Samsung's official prices are Rs. 3,599 for 250GB; Rs. 5,999 for 500GB; £10,000 for 1TB.

Reviewers from anandtech have found the following[***]:
The Samsung 870 EVO is a new SATA SSD in a market where all the interesting action is centered on NVMe SSDs. Samsung deserves praise for actually making this a new model instead of simply updating the parts used in the 860 EVO. Our testing didn't reveal any serious performance regressions. Samsung's performance advantages are too slight to justify any significant price premium.

Reviewers from pcmag have found the following[***]:
The 4TB version of the drive we reviewed is at the top of the charts. In sequential Crystal DiskMark speeds, the SSD 870 EVO hits Samsung's own rated spec without a sweat. The drive also loses slightly to the Samsung 870 QVO in our AS-SSD copy tests.

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.

Reviewers from tomshardware have found the following[***]:
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.
