SSD-like performance
The 870 QVO SSD is identical to its predecessor, the 860. We find exactly the same design therefore, always with a standard size of 2.5 inches in order to sneak into the bowels of a fixed PC as well as a laptop – except the ultrabook. It is however different from its big brother, because being part of the second generation of Samsung’s QLC SSDs, the 870 QVO offers random speed and improved performance. It thus makes it possible to obtain a maximum transfer speed of up to 560 MB/s in reading and 530 MB/s in writing. It is therefore 10 MB/s more than the 860 QVO.
This new model also incorporates the new TurboWrite technology, which accelerates write speeds and maintains high performance over the long term thanks to a larger buffer. Not to mention the 4th generation of V-NAND memory, which is there to increase endurance, speed and lower overall energy consumption.
Why such a large storage capacity?

If the good majority of mortals are satisfied with 1 or 2 TB, having such a large storage capacity can meet several needs, especially those of photo and video professionals. It’s also a good way for gamers who want to fully install their Steam, Epic Games or other library.
