Samsung SSD 870 EVO 2.5 1TB

New – single unit, ready to ship. Condition: New.

Is your computer slow to boot and does Lightroom crawl? The Samsung 870 EVO with 1 TB is the easiest and cheapest upgrade: swap the old hard drive for this 2.5-inch SATA SSD and your laptop or desktop feels brand new. It's Samsung's best-selling SATA SSD, known for speed and longevity.

• 1 TB of storage in the 2.5-inch form factor (7 mm) – fits almost any laptop or desktop
• Sequential up to 560 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write
• Samsung TLC V-NAND rated for 600 TBW
• SATA III (6 Gb/s), backward compatible with older SATA ports

The fastest upgrade for little money

Old machine, new speed

Swapping a spinning hard drive for an SSD makes an immediate difference: the computer boots in seconds, apps open without waiting, and even large photo catalogues stay responsive. For most older laptops and desktops it's the single most worthwhile upgrade.

Built for the long haul

With Samsung's V-NAND and a 600 TBW endurance rating, the 870 EVO is also a dependable home for backups and photo and video archives. The 1 GB cache keeps speeds high even with lots of small files.

What it looks like in real life

Lightroom on the old laptop

Drop the SSD into your ageing laptop, reinstall the system and Lightroom, and suddenly import, previews and export are many times faster. No new computer needed – just an SSD.

Good to know before you order

SATA, not NVMe

This is a 2.5-inch SATA SSD at around 550 MB/s – plenty for a huge everyday upgrade, but slower than an M.2 NVMe SSD. In return it fits practically any SATA port and couldn't be simpler to install.

Pre-owned – check the condition

This is a pre-owned item. With a used SSD it's worth a quick look at the SMART values (remaining endurance); the exact condition is stated above. As always, back up your data before installing.
