SAMSUNG 870 EVO 4TB / SSD 2.5 / SATA III

Pros

• High Capacity: A 4TB capacity is frequently mentioned as a positive aspect, enabling effective and quick computer operation.
• Speed: The SSD is described as "very quick".
• Ease of Installation: Installation is reported as "rapid and simple".
• Good Quality (Some Users): Several reviews praise the product as "excellent" and "very good".

Cons

• Early Failure: At least two users reported failure after less than two years of use. One user experienced data loss and the inability to format the drive, even after attempting recovery. The user also noted that models manufactured before 11/2021 often exhibit this behavior, and their unit was purchased in 02/2022. Another user reported the SSD becoming inaccessible, though data recovery was not attempted beyond noting the existence of partitions, suggesting a potential hardware failure, rather than a software issue.

Comments

Some users have experienced premature failure of the 4TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD, particularly in units manufactured before November 2021. This issue appears to manifest as drive inaccessibility, data loss, and/or the inability to format the drive. One user noted partial data recovery, while another user wishes to recover data without deleting it. Further investigation might be warranted for those experiencing these problems.
