    According to Samsung's Product Page:

      1440TBW for QVO 4TB

      Meanwhile 870 EVO 4TB is rated 2400TBW, and is priced at $372 (CPL), $379 (Scorptec) or $384 (Amazon)

      No brainer I'd say.

        1440TBW is such a colossal amount of writes that there's absolutely no value in jumping up to 2400TBW - you'll never get anywhere near the smaller value.
        If you're using it as a Steam drive for example, then you won't notice any performance difference between the QVO and the EVO - it's a no brainer to save $50 and go for the QVO for most "normal" use cases

          @Nom: I guess I say so because I put mine in the NVR which records 24/7. QLC won’t be able to keep up with such use case even the actual writing speed is quite slow compared to moving/installing games in Steam library.

          You’re right, for 95% people QLC is fine, but only given the price advantage is significant. Unfortunately, especially under current NAND crash, it’s not.

  Something we learned about these drives is that once the write cache fills (qlc ftw), the performance drops considerably (especially when compared to the EVO models). This was across read/write speed and more importantly in our use-case, latency.

  See https://www.anandtech.com/show/15887/the-samsung-870-qvo-1tb… for some detail.

    Hey mate my personal experience: I transfer quite often very large files (ahem.. ahem.. large 4k mkv files… ahem) and I don't see any significant drop in speed. I still get an average between 150-250mb/s. Mind you that the SSD is formatted in HFS+ (I use a mac). Hope it helps!

      We were running kubernetes / docker swarm on a ceph cluster backed with these drives, it eventually hit the write cache limit and caused high latency and thus instability across the clusters.
      We moved to proper Micron's, solved the issue (and also the high wear being incurred on the drives).

        That's totally the wrong use case for a bargain basement SSD like this one.

          @Nom: completely agree, and in hindsight no idea what we were thinking at the time.

      I'm sure it would be totally fine. Also the EVO is a bargain at the moment too - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/780184.

  This was $240 last week on an Amazon flash sale. Hard to beat that price unfortunately.

    $200 would beat that price
