I figured that QLC would make drives cheaper, but these are even more than TLC. That's the Samsung Tax, I guess.
I love my 4TB 860 QVO, but that's a $100 premium for the 8TB over what you can get two 4TBs for. Ouch.

not all QLC are created equal 😉

It depends what you want in all honestly. QLC, TLC etc etc
I just watched a supermicro 4U server with 48TB go on ebay, with enterprise hard drives, for just under £350 including postage.
That to me is a steal!!!
Im happy as larry with my MX500's and 970 NVME, aswell as all my SATA Seagates for NAS.

Wow, this will be down to €300 in a few years and then that is end of old spinning 3.5" discs. I have 3 x 10TB and 1 x 6TB in machine at moment... the 6TB needs replacing with another 10TB drive... and if that 8TB SSD was available for same price of course I would get that instead.

I wonder what the endurance of this drive would be, being QLC, always worry about the endurance of the drives. That said this being high capicity would help with that.
That said with the way consoles are going, I wonder what they will do to SSD's as the performance is going to be so much worse than PCIe drives, going to be an interesting couple of years coming up with this technology.

First of all we need get rid off old 3.5 drivers.. they are still noisy. Im almost there with all SSD in my main machine - i only waiting on 10-20% price decre of 4TB of SSD + HDDs in Nas.

Feels quite a bit like SATA drives will start to vanish quite soon. I have a 750GB SATA SSD and since I got a m.2 I rarely use the SATA drive at all.

8 TB HDD costs under $/€140 (Shuckable USB drives)
SSDs are nowhere near close to competing in capacity, and latest QLC drives are (much) slower than a HDD when their SLC cache runs out.
So no, they will not replace HDDs for large capacity anytime soon.
@Kaleid , stay in line... ;-)

3.5 hdd are going no where to the insanely stupid prices off SSD drive come way way down. the cost for the of speed is not worth it to alot people when come to capacity.
only reason my system is 100% SSD (not NVMe that anit happen at those prices)
is cause my data drive was 15+ years old and only 500gb at that as when i bought 2nd SSD it was just 1TB and it cost me $90 less then $220 i payed back in the day for 120gb.
To this day i hold same stance the speed is nice "IF" you gona see it used and actual benefit to and that all you care about, but for most part we do notand capacity is more important in theat regard to alot people.
would like to "used" nvm but that at thost prices for such cappacity and not with how got they get either.
