It's an awesome ssd with such an high speed of data transfer

I replaced a 4TB EVO with this QVO hoping to save money as an OS drive running via thunderbolt on a 2017 MacBook Pro, while the EVO has been rock solid, this 4TB QVO has frozen multiple times and that is in keeping with some early reviews.

Worked great as an upgrade for my laptop drive. I would recommend downloading the samsung data transfer software, it made the whole process so much simpler.

We are gradually seeing more and more SSDs, both SATA and NVMe based, being launched into the market using the latest 4-bit or QLC NAND flash technology. The latest drive to hit the market is the 4TB flagship drive of Samsung's SSD 860 QVO range – the company's first drive family to use 4-bit NAND.

Overall performance; Good endurance; Strong built in encryption

Only a 3-year warranty

No problems exchanging a previously purchased external USB drive for the Samsung, ghost drive image of existing laptop drive to this one and for massive speed increase in both booting up and general use.

The 860 QVO is a great SSD most of the time, but there are a number of cheaper 1TB competitors that don't slow down. The 2TB and 4TB drives, on the other hand, are a couple of hundred dollars less than the competition and don't fall out of cache nearly as soon.

I bought two one for me and one for my brother. Both to speed up our aging laptops, And did it ever you bet. Its like a new Computer. Boots up so fast and programs load in a blink of an eye. Even internet seems faster., I cloned my old hard drive to the ssd with my usb sata cable.

I bought this to dual boot Linux on and it does a great job at that, it's not the fastest SSD but is still pretty quick. Would recommend for creators or as a gaming drive to have alongside a faster SSD to boot on. Samsung SSD's have a reputation in my mind as being very reliable and supported

As is stands, there's no hugely compelling reason to buy the 860 QVO over rival SSDs - even Samsung's own.

This solid state drive is incredibly fast. I replaced a failing standard disk drive with this internal drive and my computer is much faster from startup to opening and transferring files. The 1TB storage was ample for both my operating system and data storage, with space to spare.
