Question Should I buy SSD 870 EVO 4TB at this time ?

[pikapika1998]

Hi , thanks for your interest, I have been planning to buy 870 EVO for the past year and have saved up some money, I live in Vietnam, the price of 870 EVO in Vietnam is almost 2 months of my salary

I have heard that 870 EVO has a defect from the 2021 production batch, I can't believe this happened, has Samsung fixed this defect yet ? Should I buy it at this time ?

Thanks

What other options do you have besides the 870 Evo?

3| Why are you jumping onto a 2.5" SSD in 2025?

Simple answer, if you have better options, why not spring for them?

hi sir Lutfij
i want to use SATA 2.5 because of low temperature and availability via SATA connector in my old mainboard with i7 7700

i want to use 870 EVO because initially it is the best choice for durability in SATA team

but i heard about the problem in the batches they produced in 2021 and want to know the truth to decide whether to buy in 2024 ?

have they fixed the bug or the batches from 2021 still exist ? i don't know
