The Samsung 870 EVO 8TB delivers the maximum storage capacity available in a standard 2.5-inch SATA form factor, saturating the SATA III interface with sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s. By combining proprietary Samsung V-NAND 3-bit MLC technology with the refined MKX controller, this drive brings high-density solid-state performance to systems without M.2 NVMe slots.

Massive 8TB capacity for quiet, high-density archiving

This 8TB drive provides an expansive storage pool that allows you to replace loud, mechanical hard drives with silent, reliable solid-state technology. It is ideal for creative professionals managing large video libraries, high-resolution photo archives, or massive database backups. By operating without moving parts, it eliminates the noise and vibration common in multi-drive storage arrays while significantly reducing access times for archived files.

Sustained SATA performance backed by an 8 GB DRAM cache

Engineered to operate at the absolute limit of the SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, this SSD achieves sequential write speeds of up to 530 MB/s alongside its 560 MB/s read speeds. To maintain these speeds during heavy, continuous workloads, the drive features a dedicated 8 GB LPDDR4 DRAM cache. This massive cache ensures that large file transfers, such as 4K video renders or multi-gigabyte zip files, do not suffer from the severe performance drops common in cacheless drives. It also enables responsive multitasking, delivering random read and write speeds of up to 98,000 IOPS and 88,000 IOPS respectively.

Exceptional longevity with a 4,800 TBW endurance rating

Built for demanding write-intensive environments, the drive offers an endurance rating of 4,800 Terabytes Written (TBW). This high endurance is achieved through Samsung V-NAND 3-bit MLC technology, which provides long-term cell stability. Coupled with a 1,500,000-hour Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and a 5-year manufacturer warranty, this SSD is engineered to handle years of continuous daily operations without degradation.

Universal 2.5-inch integration and hardware-based data protection

With a slim 6.8 mm profile, this 2.5-inch drive fits easily into desktop PCs, legacy laptops, and network-attached storage (NAS) enclosures. It supports advanced hardware-based security to protect sensitive data without compromising system performance, utilising AES 256-bit encryption, TCG/Opal V2.0, and IEEE1667 standards. Active power consumption is kept highly efficient at 2.2 W during reads and 2.6 W during writes, dropping to just 40 mW when idle and 8.6 mW in device sleep mode.
