aidan o driscoll Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 The 870 EVO is still a far better SSD if you can budget for it. I think the QVO is a samsung budget range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jumped on the 4TB QVO back in September, did a little research and canceled. My numbers are probably wrong, someone will correct me, but if I understand it right; a Pro (do I have that right?) is 1TB, the same EVO 2TB is the same drive putting to bits of data on the same spot, the QVO is 4TB puts four bits of data on the same spot. Looks like a recipe for long term problems to me. I’m sure I have over simplified this, maybe even misinterpreted; someone will set me straight. t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSD's have a limited number of erase/writes to each "spot". If any of those four bits in the QVO changes, it has to rewrite all four bits, whereas the Pro would only need to write the one. So it's not gonna last as long if you use it for your OS drive, but if you're using it mainly for reading (e.g. for samples), then it should be fine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I guess my concern was over time those 4 bits sharing the same spot would become an issue. Thanks for straightening me out! t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
