   Pros: – Tons of space- Great price- I have prior EVO SSDs that are around 7 years old that still run fine so I see this being similar- As a media storage device the QVO is excellent, reading doesn’t degrade the drive, it’s the writing that does that Cons: – NOT good for constant high volume writingThink of a 512GB NVMe, I use one to store all of my most demanding games, but that requires constantly reading and writing to it.. I’ve managed to get that NVMe down to 75% expected use cycles in just under 2 years. That drive is more durable than this, but the use case is different.Don’t use it for the wrong use case! Overall Review: Great for heavy reading use cases.Terrible for heavy writing use cases.

   Pros: All good. Benchmarks acceptable, not record shattering. Cons: Only negative and reason for review is to point to misprint or whatever where Newegg says it has 5 year warranty. Samsung product page shows all in QVO series are 3 year warranties. Overall Review: Good Product. I like the performance of mine.

   Overall Review: Using for game storage. I was using a Seagate barracuda 7200rpm hard drive before, so I’m getting way faster load times now with this ssd. If u purchase a Samsung drive definitely install the Samsung magician and enable rapid mode. Rapid mode on increased read and write speeds 3x. So, I’m getting 3000+ mb/s read and write sequential speeds.

   Pros: – Cheap 4TB SSD
   – Faster random read/writes than an HDD Cons: – Writes slow down once the SLC cache is filled, slower than a high end 4TB HDD for sequential writes Overall Review: – This SSD was limited to around 160MB/s once the SLC cache was filled and was slower than my average HDD speed of 200MB/s. I transferred around 200GB of steam library games at a time. The first 50GB or so was limited by my HDD, but after that this SSD became the bottleneck.

   Pros: Not terribly expensive, higher capacity. Cons: RAID setup issues, if that’s your thing. Overall Review: Buyer beware – two out of three systems I tried these on with RAID 0 had issues. Loaded up a Linux system with software RAID, it would freeze up every few minutes. Try to install Windows with “fake” RAID? Kept getting an error that the drive was no longer present, couldn’t even get the OS loaded. Went as far as to update the firmware, same issue. Finally got them working with a latest / greatest Z590 motherboard, but wasn’t happy that I was swapping drives around and rebuilding systems.

   Pros: 8 TB of SSD storage in a 2.5-inch form factor!!
   It’s about as fast as SATA can go.
   Was shockingly not that expensive. Overall Review: Jeez, I remember walking into a store once and seeing a 640 MB hard drive and wondering… My goodness, is it possible they could break the GB barrier soon? And who could ever need that much storage?!? In my first server I had rows and rows of 3.5-inch HDDs that all added up to a whopping 2 TB. But now, here it is… 8 TB in the palm of my hand for a fraction of the cost and at incredible speeds, and just for my desktop PC. I dare not speculate who actually needs this much space, it sure is nice to see progress.

   Pros: Started out fast Cons: Failing lba, slowed down 75% within first 3 months. Overall Review: Purchased this to replace my older 860 EVO and was all happy at first. Speeds smoked my 860s, but the drive quickly started to show signs of failing. Because the drive had been getting slower and slower I decided to run an extended SMART self-test. Almost immediately it showed a failing lba. I called Samsung support to get a warranty replacement, and the guy on the phone told me I wouldnt have to send my defective one back first because a failing lba was not repairable. Several days later I was told I need to send my failing hard drive in first, and the person I spoke claims he never told me I wouldnt have to send the defective one in first (I depend on it to run my business) which is flat out lie. No surprised that their BBB rating is only 1.6 stars out of 5.
