Most popular 1TB SATA SSDs currently on the market (2019)

In recent years, the prices of solid state disks (SSDs) have decreased, making them more accessible to consumers. But with the decrease in price came also an increase in the number of options that are available to choose.

The aim of this post is to provide an overview of the popular SATA interface SSDs that are currently available on the market and to provide a brief comparison based on the price and the read/write speed.

Note that the read/write speed should not be the only performance metric that you should consider. Depending on your usage, you might prefer a hard drive with Hardware AES encryption support such as the Samsung 860 EVO drive.

Or you might opt into a drive which has a longer rate lifespan. We hope the information in this table is useful. We will keep updating them to make sure we have as much info in there as possible.

Finally, for full disclosure, the links below are our affiliate links to Amazon. If you check them out, you can find more information about the product and the current price. It will also help our website as we get a kick-back if you buy something.

We also advise that you check out the top tier products even though your budget might be small as you might find product deals out there that you don’t want to miss out. That is how I acquired my own Samsung 860 EVO 😉 .

With that in mind, let us go to the data.
