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...
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...

Solid build quality, Massive storage capacities up to 8 Terabytes, Great performance, AES 256-bit Encryption, Higher-capacity variant offers more money-value proposition compared to other storage variants
Limited 3-year warranty, Endurance could have been better, Quite steep drop in Write speeds once the cache is full,
With the 870 QVO, Samsung has refreshed the QLC SATA SSD lineup with up to whopping 8 terabytes of capacity on a consumer-grade SSD, setting new benchmarks in the storage category, and at the same time, delivering a great performance as well. The 2TB mode...
Great performance, Capacity up to 8TB, Cheaper Than Competition, Great Migration Software
Write Speeds can be better, 3-Year Warranty, PCIe Version Needed
If you're looking to upgrade your Laptop's SSD or on your desktop PC, the Samsung 870 QVO is an incredible option to consider. It comes in large storage variants and delivers fast speeds most people require for their systems. If you don't have an NVMe slo...
