Samsung Cuts 870 EVO 2TB SSD to $500, Slashing Prime Day Price 52%

Summary
$500 buys Samsung’s 870 EVO 2TB SATA SSD at Amazon, down 52% from its $1,040 regular price in a steep Prime Day markdown.
The deal stands out because the 870 EVO targets sustained workloads where SATA still fits better than many consumer NVMe drives, with up to 560 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write speeds.
At 2TB, Samsung rates the drive for up to 2,400 TBW, using MLC V-NAND to deliver higher endurance and steadier long-write performance for tasks like video editing, NAS use and database workloads.
AES 256-bit encryption, 1,500G shock resistance and broad compatibility across laptops, desktops, NAS systems and recording devices make the discounted drive especially relevant for older systems without NVMe support.
