I usually use 500GB drives
So a 4TB drive was a novelty. As you can imaging shooting on an A73 at 4K 30fps
There was no need to swap out the drive and over two hours of footage were stored
The final test was as a working storage drive

SATA SSDs aren't nearly as interesting as they used to be, but they are ideally suited to everyday computing applications such as multi-tasking, web browsing and PC booting. The Samsung 870 QVO is certainly a minor improvement of the 860 QVO series that w...

As mentioned above, if you're looking for a reasonably priced SATA SSD drive for an upgrade or extra storage, the Samsung 870 QVO V-NAND SSD performs decently enough. Not only that, it is available in capacities of up to 8TB. *We use revenue-generating af...

QLC NAND flash memory is still something of a novelty, even for entry-level consumer SSDs. It provides cheaper, denser storage than mainstream TLC NAND, but building a well-rounded QLC SSD is a tougher challenge. In the same way that Samsung's EVO SSDs ar...

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...
You know, I am struggling a bit on the new 870 QVO series. NAND based storage these days is all about NVMe based solution, which dropped in price tremendously. So for SATA3 based storage based on QLC to make real sense, it'll need to be cheap. The new 870...

If you're looking for one of the best 2.5-inch SATA SSDs in terms of value and performance for the money, search no further than Samsung's SSD 870 QVO, a stellar followup to its first QLC-based outing...

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. That's pretty sweet. Just be aware of the severe dropo...

Abstract: With the release of the 860 QVO near the end of 2018, Samsung brought QLC to SATA for the first time. While pricing certainly at the time put it up against its own 860 EVO counterpart, we were more concerned with performance for this entry-level solution...
