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

Could install it and use with the prevous SSD simultaneously. Top!

Sturdy, durable, effective, efficient, reliable and it is for a low price for a 1tb solid state drive for older models of hardware that does not have the application for a U2 hardware or m2 slot or USB 3.1 component for m-key solid state drive storage of data

My NVME is only 500GB, so I wanted a 1TB SSD to hold my Games. Runs Fortnite,Red Dead 2 and OW2 flawlessly. Won’t be disappointed.

Ive used it for 3 Months now as an internal drive for work files, and it is still as fast as it was the first day I bought it, cant complain.

I have an NVME drive already installed in my system but Id like some additional storage for media editing that doesnt resort to the latency and slow r/w times of a spinning disk. These SATA drives are PERFECT for that! I havent put it inside my case yet, but in just a USB3.0 enclosure it seems to do quite well (picture of speed benchmark shown). Not quite the 500+ speed advertised on the box, but a 10-15% discrepancy is reasonable especially when using an enclosure and not doing sequential reads and writes. Im sure once I set this up internally itll perform even better.

I bought this because the HD on my laptop was running out of space. My laptop is a few years old and uses the SATA connection for the HD. I was able to switch it over to the new SATA SSD with more space (and quicker read times) in an afternoon. Here are the steps I used.

It match my PS4 pro, upgraded it from 1TB to 2TB, however it shows 1.77TB in the system. My old original hard drive broken and this is a nice upgrade. Price is kind a high but speed improves a lot.

The QVO series has a serious failing -- large writes bog down badly. When the write cache gets full, the driver performance TANKS. The screenshot shows trying to write a file around 1.8Gb. As you can see, it was fast for a while, then dropped precipitously. At the point the screenshot was taken, it was showing 710 KB/s (Yes, KILOBYTES per second). It actually went to 0 a few times. If you never do much writing, the drive would probably be OK, but not for anything large. Buyer Beware! Luckily, Amazon return policy is very good.

Works as expected.

so it was my first time instilling another drive for my computer and wow it took a little time had to google every thing but in the end it worked just loaded a game on it and wow sooo fast now i need to move every thing to the new drive then be happy
