Samsung 870 EVO 2TB

2.5-inch SATA SSDs

Why this one

  • Choose the Samsung 870 EVO 2TB if your computer supports a standard 2.5-inch SATA drive and you need 2 TB for working files.1
  • Samsung's limited warranty ends after five years or 1,200 terabytes written, whichever comes first. If you write heavily, compare that limit with your expected use.1
