SAMSUNG 870 QVO SATA III SSD 8TB 2.5 Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade Desktop PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77Q8T0B

My games loads just as fast as it does on my M2 SSD. Dont be fool by the numbers, for gaming its more than enough, and almost as fast as the more expensive M2 cards.

What difference from old hard drive to ssd!. Awesome speed

I have a PCIx 3x NVME Samsung drive as my boot drive and recently purchased this to replace an aging 6TB hdd. What I can say is that for storage purposes this is plenty fast and unless youre running 10 Gbps ethernet will provide you all the bandwidth you need for streaming, games, files, or network sharing. The built in cache is tricky in that it reads extremely fast at a small file size (faster than the maximum of SATA 3) with speedboost on so to get an accurate idea you have to run larger and deeper Queue Depths. You can see in the images as the size of the file goes up the speeds drop. Now keep in mind the write speed is still way too fast for an SSD so Samsung Speedboost is likely using a combination of writing to RAM and writing that to Cache. Perhaps useful if you have a large excess of RAM but something to note. Temps on the all aluminium enclosure never exceeded 6 degrees above ambient temp with a slow 1500 rpm fan sort of in the vicinity of the drive so no need to worry about temps with this drive. Overall Im pleased with the drive, and happy to finally remove all hard drives from my desktop even with 5+ TB of files to store. Its quiet, fast, temps well, and is significantly more power efficient since its speed means its active time is tiny compared to an HDD.

This is a great product, since it did meet the description as advertised in the Amazon Website

Cant go wrong with Samsung SSD

Worked great for my ps3. Super fast interface thats how I know the SSD is working and working fast even on the PlayStation Store. Cant wait to see the load times as well.

Very fast information transfer. Reliable and light

Tv worked fine for about 9 months before issues started to show up. First it was a dead row of pixels. Then a week after the TV had issues trying to turn on that would sometimes last over a minute with the sound coming on then off several times, sometimes with picture and then shutting down until the samsung splash screen would pop up and then the TV will stay on. Tried factory reset and that did not fix the turn on issues. Now I have 8 rows of leds that are dead spoiling the picture and the issues are only getting worse at a faster rate. Thought Samsung would be great but really disappointed with this product.

I ordered this to upgrade my PC and its amazing! My computer runs very efficiently with this SSD that I bought a second one.

This drive shows up in the devices window but not in the drive window and will do nothing at all. No way to open it or format it nothing. Unfortunately due to my living situation changing so much in the last year I did not check it before the return window was up. Save yourself the trouble and just go to Best Buy.
