Updated controller and TLC NAND for 560/530 MB/s read and write

Samsung has launched its latest addition to the SSD lineup, the 870 EVO, which pairs up TLC NAND with an updated controller in order to push the SATA interface to its limits, achieving 560MB/s read and 530MB/s write sequential performance.

Same as the 870 QVO, released earlier, the new Samsung 870 EVO uses the Samsung MKX controller, which when paired up with 128L 3D TLC NAND should offer up to 38 percent performance improvement in random read performance compared to the 860 models, at least according to Samsung. Samsung also equipped the 870 EVO with variable SLC buffer, which allows its own Intelligent TurboWrite technology to maintain peak performance levels.
