There are a lot  2.5" SSD that are way cheaper than 870 evo, even if there are performance differences, the average user won't notice it at all. It is not worth it.

So, the question is, why would you buy a 870 evo?

Namely: crucial MX/BX500, silicon power A55, WD Blue Sata SSD.

I have 2X870 and a 860 for quiet sometime now and had 0 issues.

Unfortunately crucial isn't avaliable with great distributor support in my region, so was silicon power A55, yes maybe i will chose WD blue over the samsung one for the safety purposes.. 
Thank you!

FYI, the 2TB 860 I bought a couple of months before the 870, has no errors.
