Samsung 870 QVO 2TB SSD review

Samsung Unleashes its 870 QVO series SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs. As the Q in the name indicates, this is all new QLC based NAND. Don't worry, we'll explain it all but the bottom line is that you will see a new value product series that offers more bang for your bucks and an increase in volume sizes.

Actually the consoles might push SSDs prices higher. More demand for NAND chips and controllers and less supply for the rest of the market unless the few NAND manufacturers ramp up production if they can spare capacity.
We'll be going on a year now where my 2TB Blue SATA drive has gone up in price. And here we are talking about cheaper SSDs. Maybe the new consoles will make this happen, but so far in the last year prices haven't done crap.

Guys, I just bought 2 970 EVO Plus and when I got home, I read on an article Samsung announced 980 Series. Irony at its best. In a very short period of time we're gonna see 980 Pro, EVO etc.Be a little patient except of course you need these great value SATA SSDs. Again, though, I'd buy the 860 EVO ( have 3 but got 'em out of my PC ) not the 870 QVQ. Both use LPDDR4.
Also about prices, even the last two years went somewhat lower. For instance, for the price of a 256GB M.2 SSD, now I can get 512GB M.2. That's not nothing, but understandably they don't lower the prices faster. Why should they? It's almost Cartel/Duopoly. 2-3 only have in-house controllers and rule the universe of SSDs.

For this reason and without any research, got an M.2 WD BLACK SN750 for the Windows because it was cheap, but as I see, it's extremely good, too. An in other test I saw, it draws the less power of all other NVMe SSDs. By luck did good choice. Only 90 euros for the 512GB which is enough for Windows only and some programs.
I strongly agree with the last sentence of the article. At this point, the appeal to SATA ought to be price and easy hot-swapping. I'm seeking to do a SATA SSD upgrade for my home server but I'd rather wait till prices drop to $0.10/GB.

Great review as always!
Stuff like that is why I went with a cheap Adata QLC for storage ssd, instead of anything else. Of course for main I have a Samsung, however that's as far as it goes.
