Abstract: Samsung has opted to name this new product 'QVO'. The Q presumably stems from the use QLC flash, which can store four bits per cell.While QLC writes are far slower than what we are used to seeing from a modern SSD, SLC caching is the answer to bridg...
Samsung entered the QLC race today with its 860 QVO. The drive comes in capacities ranging from 1TB to 4TB. The 860 QVO leverages Samsung's 4-bit MLC V-NAND and SATA interface. QLC promises more density at a lower costs but can come with a performance hit...

Write speed drops considerably when SLC cache is full, Lackluster random read performance, Lower endurance than other 860 series SSDs
High capacity SSDs are nothing new for Samsung. The company was one of the first to introduce a 1TB model and has continued to push the envelope ever since. Unfortunately, even with the 860 EVO and its 3-bit MLC V-NAND, the price of these high capacity dr...

The bards will sing no lionizing songs of the 860 QVO's struggle through our test suite. We entertain no hopes that it will land anywhere near the 860 EVO in our final reckoning. We distill the overall performance rating using an older SATA SSD as a base...

Decent endurance for a QLC SSD, Build quality, AES 256-bit encryption with Windows BitLocker support,
High introductory MSRP, Write performance after SLC cache exhausts, Three-year warranty
If you are in the market for a new SATA based SSD, the Samsung 860 QVO delivers acceptable performance, high capacity, and enough endurance to satisfy most users. It even includes AES 256-bit encryption with Windows BitLocker support. The only thing that'...
Great cost per gigabyte in larger capacities, Available in up to 4TB capacity, A svelte 7mm thin
Sustained write speed plummets to 70MBps after secondary cache is exhausted
In the 2TB and 4TB capacities, this SATAa 6Gbps SSD is a lot cheaper than the competition. It's also a very fast reader, and a fast writer—until it runs out of cache. At the 1TB level however, there are cheaper drives that don't slow down even when writin...
It is good to see the first QLC SSDs on the market. QLC, my friends, has been introduced to become the most price competitive NAND type in the industry, read my words QLC (and more layered 3D NAND) is the final nail to the coffin of the HDD. I say fantast...

The release of the Samsung 860 QVO SATA 3 SSD is Samsung's first release of a consumer based 4-bit mlc SSD. The storage industry had some time ago recognized that consumer demand was such that, they needed to find a ‘sweet spot' in getting SSDs into the h...
Abstract: Samsung's 860 QVO SSD is an excellent everyday performer and an outstanding bargain in its 2TB and 4TB flavors. It's also the second quad-level cell (4-bit) SSD to pass our portals, the other being Intel's SSD 660P. The reason I mention this competitive d...
