Abstract: All SATA disks look somewhat alike, but the Samsung 870 QVO is almost a carbon copy of the 870 Evo. That's because it's effectively the same drive, with one important difference – it uses four-bit QLC chips, in place of the more mainstream TLC tech.It's...

Overall performance, Good endurance, Strong built-in encryption
Only a 3-year warranty
When 3D QLC NAND was first being touted, it was all about the promise of large-capacity SSDs at a reasonable cost for the consumer market, especially in the 2.5in format. But in the consumer space at least, take-up of the new NAND has been somewhat slow...
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...
8TB version is a nice surprise, Full Disk Encryption, Top notch SATA performance
Endurance could be better, Some storage tiers are expensive, Only three year warranty, No PCIe iteration
We are excited about the 8TB version of the Samsung SSD 870 QVO, less so about the others. Given the current trend, we can expect the next generation, probably called the Samsung SSD 880 QVO to reach 16TB in about two years, which would put it on equal fo...
Blistering performance across the board, Reasonable pricing, Massive capacity options, 7mm thickness for ultra-thin laptops, Attractive chassis
As silly as it might sound for an SSD, we actually really like the sleek, understated design of the enclosure. If the drive does happen to be on show within your system, it's unlikely to upset your style or stand out, but the SAMSUNG branding along the to...

Abstract: The last major update to our consumer SSD benchmark suite was introduced in 2017. A lot has changed in the SSD market over the past several years, and our SSD testing methods need to change in response to those trends. SSDs in general have been getting mo...

Abstract: Flash memory prices have been on a downward trajectory for years. A decade ago, this trend was helping SSDs establish a foothold in the consumer market—largely for enthusiasts. Now, SSDs have taken over as the default storage medium for consumer PCs and f...
Price, SLC cache gets exhausted quickly, Very low write performance once SLC cache is exhausted, Only a 3-year warranty
QLC-based solid state drives are typically “entry-level” or “budget” drives. Mainly marketed as a replacement for a normal hard drive. In that sense the Samsung QVO (like another other SATA-based SSD) is a great replacement for your typical hard drive. Th...
I usually use 500GB drives, so a 4TB drive was a novelty. As you can imaging shooting on an A73 at 4K 30fps, there was no need to swap out the drive and over two hours of footage were stored, The final test was as a working storage drive, popped inside a
Slower than NVMe
It's difficult to find fault with this drive it's affordable, considering what it is, fast and has a huge capacity. An optical drive may still be cheaper, but the performance boost that you get with the Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SSD Hard Drive is huge.If you ne...
