The 1TB Samsung 860 QVO, our favorite budget SSD, is cheaper than ever at just over $100 - vankirkbutiournin

IT's a adios to get a pile of storage at a great price. Our favorite budget SSD is available for cheaper than it's even been before. Amazon is selling the 1TB Samsung 860 QVO SSD for $108. That's down from it's MSRP of $130, and to a lesser extent than the 1TB Samsung 860 EVO's current price of $148.
It's understandable if you haven't detected of the QVO line before. This is Samsung's initial consumer-grade quad-level cell (QLC) NAND drive. QLC NAND crams in quaternion bits per cell versus three-bit per cell on the TLC NAND that underlies the 860 EVO. The end result is that with QLC, SSD makers give notice offer greater storage capacities at a lower cost.
The downside of QLC, still, is that you frequently have to snort in public presentation for complete that capacity. That's because, equally we said in our review of the 860 QVO, "writing more bits to a NAND cell [3 vs. 4] takes more time." In our tests, pen speeds can take a solemn hit when the QVO's squirrel away gets gone. That's rare though, and something you'll only see during big lodge transfers, such as downloading two 50GB games one after the other.
That's not a terrible trade-off for most people, and for $108 for 1TB IT's hard to say no to the Samsung 860 QVO today.
