This is the best deal on this particular model of Samsung Internal SSD. Delivery was included and fast! Very satisfied with this purchase. The unit itself is amazing! I installed it in a 21.5" late 2013 iMac (and upgraded the RAM to 16 GB as well) and my computer is faster than my wife's brand new 24" iMac with 8 GB and 256GB SSD! Not that hard if you have the patience, buy the right kits. I watched a lot of YouTube videos (the ones from the OWC website where you can also buy the RAM are excellent). The QVO is the newer model and has better reviews than the EVO. I was gonna go with the EVO then I saw this great price on the QVO ($109). Very happy!

Got it with my new laptop as an external backup drive. I also got a USB-C case for less than $10.The initial transfer of 3 TB from an old drive was painfully long. Other than that, it works like a charm for regular backups. I would use few of these without hesitation for building a RAID type storage with multiple drives.The only complaint, not against this product but the industry in general, is the conventions used. It is not really 8TB after formatting. The usable space will be around 7.5 or a little less.

The QVO series is built on QLC flash, an inferior type of flash that degrades more rapidly than other types under repeated writes. While it's unsuitable for general purpose workloads, it can offer some cost and capacity optimization in read-intensive workloads, such as media playback. Typically a media library will be written once and then played (read) many times. The type of flash doesn't really matter in write-once and read-often scenarios.At the end of 2023, the QVO line is nearly the same price per TB as the alternatives which use superior TLC flash. The only reason to get it right now is that the other drives don't come in 8TB configurations. I would be jumping on a Crucial if they made an 8TB drive.
I purchased two of these to put in a Synology NAS and they have worked wonderfully so far. I have transferred around 15 TB of files between the two drives with no issues. However, the read/write speeds do leave a lot to be desired when transferring large amounts of data, as the drive relies heavily on cache for the advertised speeds. The 8TB drive has 78 GB of cache, so that means if you transfer less than 78 GB at once, you will see sequential read speeds of around 560 MBps and write speeds of 530 MBps. When the cache is not available, the transfer rate is around 175-220 MBps. It takes around 5 minutes to recover the cache fully. For the best speeds, you'd have to go with a M.2 SSD, but then you deal with much more heat and it's nearly double the cost. While this ...

This little monster is a niche drive, best suited for massive, static data storage. If you have a laptop that has room for only one drive and you want to game on it, forget it. You will be very disappointed. Even if used for a boot drive on a machine not used for gaming, you probably will be disappointed with this drive.Also, being QLC, the write life of this drive will be considerably less than with TLC and MLC drives. Currently, this is the only 8TB consumer 2.5 SATA drive.However, it you need a large capacity drive to store documents, music, or movies which will be mostly read only once the data has been written to the drive, then this drive should meet your needs.When first populating the drive from another one that has a lot of data on it, once the ...

However, this can be acceptable if you are having to do this only once since, after that, any additional writes will be much faster as long as they aren't too large. My largest movies are no larger than 32GB (most are much smaller) which can be written to this drive with no trouble and play just fine.I use these drives for storing my music and movies on my laptops (I use much faster NVMe drives for the boot drives) and they serve me well. I also have several that I use with a dock or enclosures for backup drives for my data. If I have to run a large backup update, I just start it before going to bed and let it run all night.Again, this drive is not for everyone but, if you need a lot of room for static data that will be mostly read only and have a SATA port to connect it to, then this drive should serve you well.
Used to go on sale for $300-$350. Now it is $630-$650. That is why the 4 vs 5 stars.Other than the gouging due to it still being the only consumer 8TB internal SSD and people having picked up on that, it is a solid, reliable, high capacity, thin drive that stays cool, even with large transfers. I get the Pearstone USB to SATA cable and use it as an external drive. Own 4, never had issues. No, not as fast transfer as M.2 but seriously, this is for capacity/large storage that transfers fast enough, not editing multicam 8K footage off of.
Several of the latest Samsung SSDs have been buggy as a flophouse bed, needing their firmware reflashed. Since these are an older model I haven't had problems with in the past, this latest batch of eight (the last purchase I'll ever make of Samsung products) should be fine though it's too early to be sure.Samsung's website has gone downhill and is slow and difficult to navigate.Their customer service has also gone downhill. When I registered these, it said I needed to have the warranty validated. It's been ten days since I started the process and they are still under review. Attempts at calls and chats always get me routed to the wrong department. I'm so through with Samsung!
Ive been using SSDs of various interfaces and form factors 2.5 SATA III, mSATA, M.2 SATA, M.2 NVMe, PCIe expansion card, etc. in DIY rigs and upgrades for myself and my family for nearly 9 years now and regardless of the underlying technology, theres one constant that has always been truegoing from a spinning hard drive to an SSD is about the most noticeable improvement you could EVER make to a PC, all other hardware being equal. This Samsung 870 QVO drive represents Samsungs second generation of higher capacity SSDs based around new, but somewhat controversial, QLC flash memory. Does the QVO make for an equally compelling upgrade as any other styletype of SSDs before it Generally, the answer is yes, I suppose...but the jury is still out on just how good a value ...

This Samsung 870 QVO drive represents Samsungs second generation of higher capacity SSDs based around new, but somewhat controversial, QLC flash memory. Does the QVO make for an equally compelling upgrade as any other styletype of SSDs before it Generally, the answer is yes, I suppose...but the jury is still out on just how good a value this drive will be for the long haul.You can read all about the pros and cons of QLC versus other types of memory if you wish, but a simplified elevator pitch is this QLC represents a new storage architecture for SSDs that squeezes more bits onto the same sized chips. Practically speaking, this means larger SSDs can be made for less money...two areas where spinning hard drives ALWAYS held the advantage over faster yet more expensive SSDs. But this potential for higher capacity and lower cost comes with some fine print. First, because the bits are packed more tightly on the flash chips, write speeds may be a bit to a lot slower, especially after youve chewed through the available much faster cache memory the drive sets aside to speed up those write operations. Note, however, that the larger the drive you have like 1TB or more, the less likely you are to consume all the available cache during any one disk operation depending on how youre using your drive. Second, the drives are rated for fewer TBW terabytes written than those leveraging competing storage technology, which implies that QLC drives may give out sooner than a similarly sized SSD with a different type of memory inside.So what would all this mean to you For starters, it SUGGESTS that a QLC drive might not be an ideal choice for something like your Windowsoperating systems drive where large write operations are happening all the time for fear of wearing out the drive sooner. But of course that outcome would depend on how often and how aggressively you use your computer in the first place. For example, if you dont create a lot of 4K videos or massive ISO images every day, you might well outgrow your PC before the drive ever starts to show signs of failure. Moreover, if you dont routinely work with HUGE files i.e. larger than 1GB, you might never hit that point where youre trying to write a file to disk and exceed the available cache memory at which point your write operations would definitely slow to a snails pace. Honestly, then, many of the merits of a drive like the QVO may simply come down to economics...how badly to you need to economize on your purchase while still enjoying the speed boost youll get from using an SSD in the first place, and will you notice any performance differences arising from the purposed weakness of QLC memory anywayI put my own 870 QVO through its paces by matching it headtohead against Samsungs 850 EVO 1TB 2.5 SSD its the exact same capacity drive in the exact same form factor as the new 870 QVO, and Ive been using the 850 EVO as my primary Windows drive for about 5 years now. Now, I dont pretend to understand all the ins and outs of drive benchmarking because frankly I really dont care that muchand for a budget drive with high capacity like the QVO, I wasnt looking for the Nth degree of high performance anyway. But for those of you who care, I ran CrystalDiskMark and Samsung Magicians own benchmark tests on the two drives. The results attached below echo the common sentiments findings floating around the netyes, the QVO was observed to be a little slower than Samsungs older nonQLC drive in some areas of the benchmark testsbut not really by that much, and in terms of any meaningful differences, it certainly didnt feel like Windows was suddenly chugging along on the 870 QVO.Where I think the value proposition for something like the QVO really shines is if you want to have a large SSD data drive for things like games, documents, photos, etc.a drive that gets a lot of read action, but you dont necessarily writechange the contents all that often, and not necessarily in huge chunks, either. In those cases, going with the 870 will save you on space, energy and noise over a similarly sized spinning hard drive but you will DEFINITELY get the readwrite speed bump that SSDs are known for. Unfortunately, for those unfamiliar with SSD migration or working with drives like these, the simplistic picturebook style instruction manual included with the 870 may lead one to believe their package was incomplete. If you intend to migrate your operating system from a spinning hard drive to the 870 QVO using Samsungs Data Migration tool which is a separate download from Samsung Magician BTW, Samsung DOES make the process dead simple with that tool, but the manual suggests that a USBtoSATA adapter cable will be necessary. Its also implied that one should have been in the box for you. In fact, all you get here is the bare drive...not even mounting screws. Of course, you can mount the drive internally in your PC using a regular SATA power connector and cable and still use the Samsung Data Migration tool, but for those of you looking to upgrade a laptop that doesnt have a spare 2.5 bay, you probably will need to obtain some sort of adapter unless you plan to simply reinstall Windows on the bare QVO drive upon powerup.Otherwise, the Samsung Magician companion app is a pretty userfriendly piece of software for drive maintenance and optimization. Magician can check your drives firmware, overprovision the drive to improve longterm performance, enable RAPID mode to improve readwrite performance as I understand it, RAPID actually performs caching to speed up drive access similar to the way the QVO drive does already...it really didnt seen to make any noticeable difference outside of benchmarking, securely erase your drive, and manage encryptiondecryption operations. Magician runs resident in the background, but other than providing a oneclick interface for maintenance or ensuring your firmware is uptodate, there are plenty of people who run Samsung drives without it.In the end, its hard to make an unqualified recommendation for the 870 QVO. Yes, its a slice of the latest and greatest trend in SSD storage, but that doesnt necessarily mean its better than the alternatives and in some cases, meaningfully so or not, it is definitely NOT as strong as the competition. But as a lower cost, higher capacity SSD, the 870 QVO still seems to have a place in todays SSD landscape, especially as capacities of drives with QLC memory start to grow well beyond 12 TB. So long as the economics match with your intended use case, the QVO is a fair to decent performer but if you are concernedparanoid about longterm durability or are seeking topoftheline access speeds, there are definitely betterperforming drives on the market for the same or similar price.
I use this for game storage/play on my gaming pc. I have two other M.2 drives installed also, which house my OS and favorite games. This one is used for storage and/or games that I don't play so often. It's a good budget SSD. I can't tell any difference once the game is running. It does take slightly longer to load the games, as is to be expected given the form factor. I've had it installed about a month or so and it functions flawlessly. I remember the days of 5400 rpm HDD's, and then making sure whatever I bought had a 7200 rpm HDD. I was out of M.2 slots and had 3 available slots for standard 2.5 SSD's, so it was the clear winner here. I mean, who doesn't need more storage, right? Really the price vs the amount of storage I was getting was the deciding factor in ... MoreI use this for game storage/play on my gaming pc.

Really the price vs the amount of storage I was getting was the deciding factor in this case. M.2's are a little pricey once you get above 1TB, otherwise I would have replaced one of those with a larger capacity. And it was simple to install in my Corsair case. Hook up cables, place it in the tray, and slide it in the case. Format the drive and done. The EVO is basically the next step up, but again, for the price, it works for me. If you're looking for a budget SSD, I recommend this one. Just keep in mind you will have to buy the SATA cable to hook it up to the motherboard unless you have an extra laying around (cable NOT included).
