Wowzers, can you imagine 8TB storage on a SATA3 SSD, well we can and we'll also show you as this puppy popped up at Amazon, priced at 899 USD.
High capacity SSDs have been on the wish list of many, multi Terrabyte SSDs are the future. Of course, it will need the pricing to go along with that, but the baby steps have been made as 8TB is serious storage volume-wise. Samsung is prepping to release Samsung 870 QVO SSDs, two SKUs have been spotted on Amazon, an 8TB, and a 1 TB version. My bet is that a 2 and 4 TB version will become available as well.
The Q in QVO SSDs obviously is hinting at QLC written NAND (four bit per cell written), similar to the QVO 860 series (read our review here). The 870 QVO series might have been posted, however the specs not so much. However, at SATA3 it's something 560 MB/sec for sure with slightly slower writes.
The 1 TB preorder price is $130 with availability on June 30, the 8 TB SSD you can exchange for $899 from August 24th onwards. Remember, preorder thus prices will settle down.
