Good for cheap devices that don't see much writing cycles like smartphones, tablets and most cheap laptops.
For consumer SSDs I wouldn't buy one, at least as an early adopter.
At the moment TLC is a good day to day candidate, QLC is good for storage application.
The benefits going PLC don't look that great, but progress needs to start somewhere!

I remember seeing some QLC NVMe SSD's, most use some sort of SLC cache or something similar for raw speed, then when that writing is done the writing goes to QLC (slower obviously) so you won't really "feel" the difference as long as you don't write over what fits in that cache. TLC seems to be the "best" of both worlds for now, pricing and performance wise, but hey, cheaper SSD's are always welcome as long as we still have the faster stuff if we really need it.

Right now this is not encouraging, the Samsung QVO is more expensive than the faster, more durable tlc 870 EVO. Hopefully with more companies going for higher bit per cell ssd, the prices will eventually compete with the traditional HHD for storage.

Ahahaha. Please our dear consumers,can you bend some more over? My rule is no more than 2 (1 NVME + 1 SSD 1TB) and Primo cache with 1 and 2 level of caching on SSD.This gives me 1 to 20 places for cached HDDs with SSD performance and an arm and a leg to spare. Oh, and BDW when SSD dies a can recover the data myself. How you recover the data when the SSD is DEAD?

dont this mean less write life?

so more the more cell the faster it and faster dies less cells less speed more life?

are these newer cells atlest give more capacity?
IF not what is point?

Qlc is down to about what ? 200- 300 cycles . Plc 20 -30 ...so Silc will be single use consumables ? !
