Samsung 870 QVO SATA SSD (2.5")
#2 in SATA 2.5-Inch SSDs · Rated 4.2
High-capacity SATA SSD with strong value for large builds
The 870 QVO brings high-capacity SATA storage to mainstream desktops and laptops with quad-level cell (QLC) NAND. It maintains solid SATA performance with sequential reads up to 560 MB/s and writes up to 530 MB/s, plus Intelligent TurboWrite for short-term burst performance. Available in 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and up to 8TB models, the QVO focuses on capacity-per-dollar while offering a three-year warranty and Samsung Magician software for health monitoring and data management. While not as endurance-focused as TLC-based drives, the 870 QVO is a compelling option for users needing large amounts of SATA storage without jumping to NVMe. It differentiates itself with its very high capacity variants and Samsung’s software ecosystem.
