Samsung has presented the next generation of its QVO lineup of high-capacity customer solid-state drives: the 870 QVO. It will be available beginning on June 30th from Samsung and other merchants, and youll have the ability to choose from a couple of various storage setups.
The 870 QVO begins with 1TB at $129.99, going up to 2TB of storage for $249.99 and $499.99 for the 4TB model. If you churn through a lot of information, you may be interested in the 8TB option that will be offered in August, which is the first of this capacity Samsung has actually developed. The cost for the 8TB alternative isnt public yet, though a leak on Amazon chose up previously this month by Toms Hardware suggests it might cost $900 and release on August 24th.
Great deals of storage but not the very best alternative for raw speed
Having an 8TB option is tempting, as game install sizes have gotten bigger in the previous few years, though this isnt the best choice if raw speed is actually crucial to you. If your desktops motherboard has an M. 2 slot, Samsungs 970 EVO Plus NVMe 1TB SSD will provide vastly improved performance, though with smaller capabilities readily available at a much greater price than the new 870 QVO.
The 870 QVO starts with 1TB at $129.99, moving up to 2TB of storage for $249.99 and $499.99 for the 4TB design. If you churn through a lot of information, you may be interested in the 8TB choice that will be readily available in August, which is the first of this capability Samsung has created. And with this model, Samsung says that it should be able to move up to 2,880 terabytes of information throughout its lifetime.
And with this model, Samsung states that it ought to be able to move up to 2,880 terabytes of information throughout its life time. The 4TB model is stated to write 1,440 TB total, while the 2TB and 1TB models are capable of composing 720TB and 360TB throughout their lifetimes, respectively.

At that, the 870 QVO seems to use a small bump up in speed improvements, both to its consecutive read and write speeds at 530MB/s and 560mb/s– a 10MB/s gain in both categories over the predecessor. (Samsung states that its newest SSD has a 13 percent advantage over its predecessor when it concerns random read speed.).
The 870 QVO is the follower to the 860 QVO that launched in late 2018, and the inner functions of this new drive are similar. Its a SATA 2.5-inch drive that will fit in many laptops and desktops, and it uses Samsungs 4-bit multilevel cell architecture (also referred to as quad-level, or QLC, in this design) that helps to keep the price reasonable at the expense of faster transfer speeds.
