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.

This is quite a pathetic drive from Samsung, and at a high price too. You'd be better served with a 850/860 Evo that's on offer, with significantly better performance. The 8TB drive is nearly useless at that price. Pretty sure you can even find NVMe TLC drives at these price/GB if you look hard enough.
I do have two Samsung SSDs myself, but at this price I wouldn't touch this one.

Nice article, shows things haven't changed much in the SSD world. FWIW, I have had my 4TB 860 QVO since the day they were available, with no issues and solid performance.
