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...

Abstract: Samsung has been the go-to for SSDs for the better part of a decade, but with so much competition is this 870 QVO, a high capacity 2.5” SATA SSD, worth considering? How does it perform? Lets take a look, but first, if you haven't already, consider subscri...

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...
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...
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...

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: Solid-state drives (SSDs) have come a long way in recent years: a long way up in speed and capacity, and a long way down in price. Technology that was previously reserved for enterprise customers and the PC performance elite has gained the common touch, w...
Abstract: Today, you'd be forgiven for thinking that " SSD " stood for "seriously speedy drive." Indeed, we'd lobby for that change. Why? Over the last five years, solid-state drives (SSDs) have changed their shapes, speeds, and storage stripes with such agility th...
