Review: Samsung 870 QVO 2TB SATA3 SSD
Samsung Unleashes its 870 QVO series SATA3 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.

Weak product, poor price.
You can find Crucial MX500 2TB which is a proper high-performance TLC drive that can write at SATA speeds (500+) indefinitely for a bit less than this, and is occasionally discounted even more:
2TB:
MX500 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B003J5JB12 € 224
QVO https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-Internes-Solid-State-MZ-77Q2T0BW/dp/B089R1C9HV €234
Well of course MX500 is already somewhat old, so there are no 4 TB or 8 TB options, but you can buy 2 or 4 of them and RAID them for more speed, cheaper than these crappy Samsung drives !
I don't care about what any review is saying, I will STAY AWAY FROM QLC like it's the plague or coronavirus ...

For me, storage (of personal files). It's a home server, so I don't care about performance, and the files are (for the most part) permanent, so I'm not concerned about write cycles either.
When you guys say server replacement, do you mean for operating or for storage?

I owned the 860 QVO 1TB and it was nothing but problems also it had a 3 years or 360 TB TBW warranty and other cheaper drives like the SK hynix Gold S31 1TB have a 5 year or 500 TB TBW warranty and I have no problems with the SK Hynix Gold drive.
Benchmarks are a little faster on the SK Hynix drive.

True about QLC. After that TurboWrite thing is gone,you have a marvelous speed of 80MB/s or 40MB/s on 860 1TB QVO.For storage could be good.
But thank God its Made in Korea and not else (not sarcasm).
