  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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. Just be aware of the severe dropoff in speed when writ...

  • Abstract:  With the release of the 860 QVO near the end of 2018, Samsung brought QLC to SATA for the first time. While pricing certainly at the time put it up against its own 860 EVO counterpart, we were more concerned with performance for this entry-level solution...
