Question Recommendation SSD 2.5'' Samsung 1TB

[Manuel Jordan]

Hello friends

About SSD 2.5'' for 1TB, all the laptops have the following SSD:

• Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5"/7mm, Up to 560 MB/s - WDS100T3B0A

My uncle prefers Samsung for his laptop

I did do a research on Amazon and I found:

1. Samsung 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E1T0B/AM - US$ 99.99
2. Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SATA 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-77E1T0) US$ 99.99
3. Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E1T0B/AM) US$ 149.99

According with your knowledge

1) What is the difference between 1 and 2? Both are 870 EVO but exists 2 links
2) What is better and why? Evo 870 or Evo 860?
I am doing this question because the latter is more expensive than the former.
Therefore perhaps there is something to be take it in consideration
And I always have the consideration that a new model not always is better than the previous model
3) If you have other recommendation, pls share it and indicate it why

Thanks in advance

There have been some reported "problems" with the 870 EVO.
But I can't imagine Samsung has not addressed these.

I have 2x 860 EVO, several years old. Zero problems.


But if the laptop already has a 1TB WD, there is nothing wrong with leaving it.
I put WD and Samsung on the same level as far as 'reliability'.

I'd only change if it were a significant capacity increase.

Basically the same. Probably different product batch.

2) What is better and why? Evo 870 or Evo 860?
And I always have the consideration that a new model not always is better than the previous model

They are quite similar.
Newer model is not necessary better than older version.

3) If you have other recommendation, pls share it and indicate it why

Crucial MX500 is also a good alternative.
