"2tb isnt really even alot nowadays" *me with 500GB* 😭😭

I bought this SSD last year and its a fast, reliable drive with great performance. I was playing Assassin's Creed Origins on my PC the other day and the game took about a total of 12 seconds to load. 6 seconds to load to the tittle screen and about 6 seconds to load into the game.

Always wanted to find out, where do you get those plants that grow pc components?

[valentinvas]

This is still very amazing for older desktop and laptop users. I got myself a 1TB version a year ago and even with my old I7 3770K games loaded very quickly. My friend also bought this recently as a boot drive and he said his old 3rd gen I5 system feels new.

Now my boot drive is a WD SN750 Black and of course that is even better but I still use the 870 for older games and now that I have a Ryzen 5 5600 they work together really well.

The first SSD I bought was the 120GB 840 Evo for $90USD back in 2013. Over 70TBs written on it according to Samsung Magician and it is still going strong! Gotta love Samsung SSDs

I had two EVO 870s fail in a row in less than 18 months. Dealing with Samsung was so time consuming and frustrating that Amazon refunded me (far beyond the 30 day limit) when I presented testing and emails from Samsung.

Waiting for the 4tb to get to my country shops. Perfect video as always.

[zakapholiac]

I put this drive (1TB) into my PS3 with CFW. Beyond overkill but I like the longevity that Samsung Drives bring

The vibe and content of this channel are so nice, almost feels like therapy or meditation

Great review as usual, thanks for posting. Your quality is insanely good

"2 tb is not that much nowadays"
Me with 500 gb: 😢👍

Thanks for the video. Also on a regular day to day performance there is not much difference between m.2 n ssd.
The only time the m.2 stands out is when individual files like 3d renderings and etc are huge in size.
But for an user that's doing day to day gaming and video editing and such won't notice much difference between m.2 n ssd.

Thx for the review! Love these samsung EVO's... Also like the little red nail-polish bottle :-) It's little things like that what makes TechTesters stand above the rest!

[bryanwesleyko]

Very nice and honest review! Nice AC figurine btw 😁

The thumb nail needs the caption:

[corplftw]

[techlord]

I have a 2tb hdd WD black for gaming But would love a 4tb 860 or 870 evo but damn the price is high. Loved the video

[MirelRC]
