It's a bit awkward writing this report and I have to admit that it took longer than expected because, well, we have seen so much good come from Samsung and they are such a large part of the world being where it is today because of the advance of flash mem...

SATA SSDs aren't nearly as interesting as they used to be, but they are ideally suited to everyday computing applications such as multi-tasking, web browsing and PC booting. The Samsung 870 QVO is certainly a minor improvement of the 860 QVO series that w...

Decent performance for SATA III,Excellent performance with RAPID mode enabled,Higher capacities up to 8TB available,Easy to use data migration and drive monitoring software,Fairly reasonably priced compared to the competition
Pretty limited TBW for lower capacities,8TB is pricey
As mentioned above, if you're looking for a reasonably priced SATA SSD drive for an upgrade or extra storage, the Samsung 870 QVO V-NAND SSD performs decently enough. Not only that, it is available in capacities of up to 8TB. *We use revenue-generating af...

QLC NAND flash memory is still something of a novelty, even for entry-level consumer SSDs. It provides cheaper, denser storage than mainstream TLC NAND, but building a well-rounded QLC SSD is a tougher challenge. In the same way that Samsung's EVO SSDs ar...

Up to 8TB of capacity, Aesthetics & build quality, Higher-than-average QLC flash endurance ratings, AES 256-bit encryption, Improved read performance, Software suite,
High price-per-GB for QLC, Slow write performance after SLC cache is full, Write endurance is lower than TLC flash, Three-year warranty
Samsung's 870 QVO pushes SATA SSD capacity to new heights, but the QLC flash that enables up to 8TB of storage requires sacrifices in both performance and endurance. The 870 QVO also has a measly three-year warranty and high pricing that make other altern...
You know, I am struggling a bit on the new 870 QVO series. NAND based storage these days is all about NVMe based solution, which dropped in price tremendously. So for SATA3 based storage based on QLC to make real sense, it'll need to be cheap. The new 870...

Warranty is only three years, QLC's modest durability ratings make it less suited to heavy write duty
If you're looking for one of the best 2.5-inch SATA SSDs in terms of value and performance for the money, search no further than Samsung's SSD 870 QVO, a stellar followup to its first QLC-based outing...
Great everyday performance, Up to a stupendous 8TB of capacity
150MBps writing after running out of SLC cache
The Samsung 870 QVO's capacity is great, as is its everyday performance. You'll likely be perfectly happy with the drive if you install it in your laptop or PC as the main drive. But 8TB? Come on now. That's pretty sweet. Just be aware of the severe dropo...
