Samsung’s 870 EVO SATA SSD quietly gets 8TB variant despite storage shortage and skyrocketing pricing — new model spotted in Europe for €1,300 with higher cache and endurance

Samsung has quietly released an 8TB variant of its 870 EVO SATA SSD, priced at €1,300 in Europe, featuring higher cache and endurance. The model, MZ-77E8T0B, offers sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and write speeds of up to 530 MB/s, continuing to use Samsung’s 3-bit MLC V-NAND technology. Despite the current storage shortage and rising prices, this new 8TB SSD caters to users prioritizing storage over speed, especially for older PCs, laptops, and NAS setups. The release of this high-capacity SSD is significant in a market where NAND and DRAM prices are soaring due to limited supplies and increased demand from AI and data center sectors.
