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...

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...

The latest drive to join Samsung's line-up of SSDs is the SSD 870 QVO, the company's 2nd generation 3D QLC (quad-level cell) NAND drive. Available in capacities from 1TB up to 8TB, here we look at the 4TB model and see whether or not it is worth the £438...
+Overall performance, Good endurance, Strong built-in encryption-Only a 3-year warrantyWhen 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...

Samsung still hasn't released an 8TB M.2 NVMe SSD, but today's 870 QVO launch encompasses a range of second-gen QLC SSDs that will stretch up to 8TB of capacity and should vie for a spot on our list of best SSDs. However, unlike Sabrent's monstrous 8TB R...
+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 warrantySamsung'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...

Just over 18 months after it was introduced, the 860 QVO is making way for the 870 QVO. The second iteration of Samsung's popular budget line has upped the ante with the introduction of an 8TB solid state drive, the first time we've seen this capacity hit...
+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 iterationWe 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...
