Samsung 870 QVO, 8TB consumer SSD to bridge the gap with HDDs

A few weeks ago, as we had reported, a Samsung SSD (whose code name is MZ-77Q8T0B / AM) had popped up in the North American Amazon catalog in pre-order, which had surprised us specifically for a technical feature: it was in fact, a unit of the 870 QVO line equipped with 8TB of storage. The memory in question was of the QLC (Quad Level Cell) type and it could therefore be assumed that it was intended for a consumer audience that has no particular needs in terms of speed but is looking for very capacious storage devices.

Samsung, confirming these rumors, has officially unveiled the SSD in question. As anticipated, this is an 8TB QLC drive with SATA interface.

Samsung says that, with this SSD, many users will solve their dilemma between a high-performance SSD and a traditional Hard-Disk with high capacity. The 870 QVO SSD was indeed designed specifically to bridge the gap between performance and capacity. The unit is aimed at consumer PC users who want capacity and performance.

“Following the launch of Samsung's first consumer QLC drive in 2018, the 860 QVO, we are releasing our second QVO SSD generation that offers twice the capacity of 8TB and improved performance and reliability, ”said Mike Mang, vice president of the Memory Brand Product Biz Team at Samsung Electronics. "The new 870 QVO will allow more consumers to enjoy the performance benefits of an SSD with capacity similar to an HDD."

Samsung for its SSD 870 QVO promises read speeds up to 560MB/s and write speed up to 530MB/s . The SSD uses a DRAM cache and has Intelligent TurboWrite to maintain high performance over time. The newcomer offers an improvement of 13% in the speed of random read than the previous 860 QVO and also has a resistance rating of up to 2880TB .

The family of Samsung SSD 870 QVO is available with a 1TB drive at the price of about $ 129.99 , 2TB at a price of about 249,99 dollars and the 4TB at a price of about $ 499.99 . As for the model, 8TB, will arrive in the month of August at a price of about $ 900 .
