Details

The 870 QVO is Samsung’s latest 2nd generation QLC SSD and the largest of its kind that provides up to 8TB¹ of storage. It offers an incredible upgrade for everyday PC users who want to ramp-up their desktop or laptop to the largest available storage on the market without compromising performance.

Achieving the maximum SATA interface limit of 560/530 MB/s sequential speeds, 870 QVO features improved random speed and sustained performance compared to the previous 860 QVO. Intelligent TurboWrite accelerates write speeds and maintains long-term high performance with a larger variable buffer.

The 870 QVO is available in 1, 2, 4 and 8TB, and the 8TB model is by far the largest client SATA SSD. With the 870 QVO, users can now enjoy and thrive in the largest SSD computing environment ever.

The groundbreaking capacity of the 870 QVO doubles its reliability up to 2,880 TBW compared to the previous model 860 QVO. This formidable SSD provides reliability with a refined ECC algorithm that enables a stable performance.

Upgrading to the 870 QVO is made easy for anyone with a desktop PC or laptop that supports a standard 2.5-inch SATA form factor. Enjoying this terabyte SSD is as convenient as plugging in the 870 QVO into a SATA slot and letting the renewed migration software take care of the rest.

    Nice drives.

    Main drawback is that speed drops to 160MB/s after "Turbo Write" limit reached which is around 72Gb. Which is not the end of the world.

    So if you want to write large amounts quite often (like backups) then it will be slow. Though this is twice the speed of a Crucial P3 Plus Gen 4 NVME that tanks to well under 100MB/s.

    An EVO version (or MX500) is better and will maintain the higher write speeds as that is the native speed of the ram.
    For comparison a decent NVME drive will maintain over 1000MB/s speed in sustained writes. (edited)

    160MB/s is on the upper end of spinning rust so it’s not too bad. I mainly like SSDs for them being silent and speed isn’t that much of an issue, any big transfers are unattended anyway so it’s not like I’m sat waiting for files to transfer.

    This is a good deal in my view. Paid £288 for 4td one last year and I see its just over £200 now . I've had great use out of it mind you on my PS4. Just looking for a decent nvme for my PS5.

    This is a bit of an overkill for PS4. Apart from load times you would see almost no difference in gameplay by just using a cheap 2.5inch drive.

    If you have a spare PCIe and if your motherboard supports it, you are most likely better off buying four cheap 2TB SSDs and a PCIe NVME SSD card, like these ones:

    amazon.co.uk/ASU…1J/

    amazon.co.uk/Lex…LB/

    The total is cheaper and much faster, most likely higher TBW.

    Like the idea, so had a lookup and found the following and wondered if you knew does it work regardless of what this says on its website listing? "Hyper M.2 x16 is designed specifically for Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) and the AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ platform for NVMe RAID support and features four M.2 slots, providing up to 128 Gbps of bandwidth per card."

    Just get the 7.68TB Samsung PM893. With TLC, DRAM Cache, power loss protection and 14,016 TBW endurance.

    Just as a side comment, if you have the Perks at Work service (or similar) it's £375.30 from Samsung.

    It's happening!

    Nope! QLC so defo not happening yet. When TLC/MLC is this price then it's happening. QLC be the slowest & least lfe span type of nand used. Crucial P3 that aren't Pro use the same. Not good! Research with the Google if you need to know more. Example: TBW of TLC drive will be twice that of QLC. And n.b QLC does not mean it won't go bust before the TBW only that you can claim on warranty. These drives are only good for storage that you is not crucial. For that a HDD is cheaper and generally more reliable (CMR) (edited)
