“Samsung’s 8TB 870 QVO is a quality‑built SATA SSD that answers the call of those in need of high capacity and security.”

“The Samsung 870 QVO SATA SSD offers great everyday performance combined with up to 8 TB of capacity. However, while it’s faster than its predecessor, its write performance after running out of cache is extremely weak.”

“For the other storage tiers though, there’s hardly anything worth getting excited about given the small performance gain over the 860 QVO.”

Mixed 3/5
