Samsung 870 QVO 8 TB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-77Q8T0)

The product arrived quickly and met my expectations. The packaging was also secure. Thank you 🌈

I updated my Mac desktop (4TB) and used this, 8TB, and I love the results. I also transferred the 4TB info to the 8TB. This was a major upgrade and have no complaints.

The ability to store large volumes of data packets, when requested doing a query search unable to do research get the information that I have available to me on my local storage device with almost 0 lag. That’s what we pay for on local storage best money I’ve spent so far.

I purchased six of these between 2023 and 2025. Thankfully, I got the first five during the first part of 2023 when the pricing was much more accessible, by the time I got the sixth in late 2025, the price had nearly doubled. I've found the drives to be quite good for my intended purpose which is arranging all six for use in a single RAID5 or RAID6 volume which would be used for officewide daily imaging and other critical, redundant backup purposes. I'm using the six drives in RAID5 currently along with an Intel 14900K workstation and a dedicated PCIe RAID controller (Areca 1883i). Thus far, for two years of daily use, the drives have performed excellently and the read/write durability seems to be right in line with what I would expect from a large consumer grade SSD. I've had zero issues with any of the six drives I've purchased. And considering the relatively light daily use of the RAID5 volume (48TB total, 40TB usable), I expect the drives to last for many years. I've included some ATTO benchmarks of the current six drive RAID5 volume. All 8TB QVO drives are in operation in RAID5 which means that five of the drives are accessible for READ/WRITE use while the sixth is reserved for parity/rebuild calculations. Ultimately, the smarter choice will be to re create the RAID5 volume in a RAID6 array, allowing for the possible failure of TWO drives simulteaneously instead of just one as is the case with RAID5. In either case, RAID6 or RAID5, six of the 8TB QVO drives are surprisingly fast, considering the actual READ/WRITE operations combined with the constant need to calculate parity for disaster recovery and/or to rebuild the volume in the event of a single or dual drive failure. The ATTO benchmark image attached here is, technically, a better performing use-case than a single, high end Gen 4 NVME drive which was way beyond what I was expecting. It's a shame the latest craze with data centers popping up everywhere has driven the cost of these and so many other necessary components through the roof but that seems to simply be the way it is with the computer universe. Over all, after two years of rather technical use of the six QVO drives I've purchased here, I would rank their quality and performance as very high.

I needed a big 8 TB drive for an Aurender Music Streamer. Wasn’t many options in the 8 TB arena, but I already owned a 4TB version of this drive which pretty much got filled up with my music files. Never had any problems with the 4 TB so I decided to get this 8 TB version. I anxiously awaited it’s delivery and 4 days later it was here. I carefully unboxed it and prepped my machine for the swap. Once installed the machine reported 7.5 TB! Then the machine prompted me to format the drive which I did and within minutes it was ready to go. I checked the available space and found 7.1 TB useable storage. It works seamlessly with the Aurender, no issues at all. The 8 TB drive I thought I bought, formatted to 7.1 TB! I realize in all drives you don’t get the stated amount of storage, but to loose almost 1 TB of storage is crazy! I love the product, but it’s really disappointing to find you spend $800+ on a drive and find out the 8TB drive I purchased is really a 7.5 TB drive!

Awesome product; estimated 170 years+ of usage. This is the last drive you'll need. Know what you're going to use it for though before you begin file transfer. It's NOT a typical drive. It IS a little... temper-mental.

I'm in the USA. When I tried to register the SSDs I received for the warranty, I found out they were region restricted for sale in Korea only which, according to Samsung, means the warranty is voided. I have returned them.

Funciona direitinho.

Purchased: September 17, 2023 After using the Samsung 870 QVO 8TB SSD for over six months, I can confidently say this purchase has transformed my computing experience in ways I didn't fully anticipate. Performance That Makes a Real Difference The performance improvement over my previous HDD setup is dramatic and immediately noticeable. Boot times have been reduced to mere seconds, and applications that once took forever to load now spring to life almost instantly. The advertised read/write speeds (560MB/s read, 530MB/s write) aren't just marketing numbers—they translate to tangible improvements in everyday tasks. File transfers that used to be "start and go make coffee" operations now complete in a fraction of the time. When working with large video files and photo libraries, the difference is nothing short of revolutionary. While not the absolute fastest SSD on the market (compared to NVMe drives), for a SATA III drive, it delivers exceptional performance. Capacity That Liberates Your Workflow 8TB in a single 2.5-inch drive is genuinely game-changing. I've consolidated multiple drives into this single unit, which has simplified my backup strategy and freed up space in my system. Having this much high-speed storage available means no more constant juggling of files or worrying about running out of space during large projects. For content creators, data hoarders, or anyone with substantial storage needs, the massive capacity combined with SSD speeds represents the best of both worlds. I can now keep my entire working library accessible at all times without performance compromises. Value Proposition and Timing I managed to purchase this drive at what turned out to be an exceptional price (£267.23 excluding VAT). Given current market prices, I consider this one of my smartest buys. Had I known the price would increase significantly, I would have purchased a second unit without hesitation. The value-per-terabyte at my purchase price was simply unbeatable for SSD storage of this quality. Minor Considerations While the drive is exceptional, prospective buyers should be aware that the current market price represents a significant premium over my purchase price. At today's rates, the value calculation becomes more nuanced, though the performance and capacity benefits remain substantial. Also, those with motherboards supporting NVMe might want to consider whether the absolute maximum speed is necessary for their workflow, as newer PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives offer even faster performance (though typically at smaller capacities or higher prices). Bottom Line The Samsung 870 QVO 8TB SSD delivers on its promises and represents a substantial upgrade for anyone still using traditional hard drives. The combination of massive capacity, reliable performance, and straightforward setup makes it an excellent choice for both professional and personal use. While I wish I had purchased a second drive at the price I paid, even at current market rates, it remains a worthwhile investment for those needing substantial, high-speed storage in a single drive.

Ho acquistato il Samsung 870 QVO da 8TB come unità interna per archiviazione dati e gestione di file pesanti. L’installazione è immediata e viene riconosciuto senza problemi. Rispetto a un HDD tradizionale, i miglioramenti in velocità quotidiana sono evidenti: avvio più rapido dei file, trasferimenti più stabili e meno rumore/vibrazioni, ovviamente. Questo SSD usa memoria QLC: non è progettato per essere un disco primario di editing intensivo o carichi scrittura ultra-prolungati, però per archiviazione media, librerie foto/video, progetti e giochi funziona molto bene. Con file molto grandi la velocità può calare dopo la cache, cosa normale per questa fascia. In compenso, la capacità da 8TB è enorme in rapporto al prezzo — specialmente se acquistato in offerta — e la qualità Samsung (software Magician incluso) dà una certa tranquillità in termini di affidabilità nel tempo. Pro • 8TB di spazio in formato SSD 2.5” • Buone prestazioni in lettura/scrittura quotidiana • Affidabilità e software Samsung Magician • Silenzioso, zero vibrazioni • Ottimo valore se preso in sconto Contro • Memoria QLC: calo di velocità su scritture molto lunghe • Non pensato per editing estremamente pesante prolungato • Prezzo pieno un po’ alto, meglio in promozione In sintesi: enorme capacità e prestazioni solide per archiviazione veloce e sicura. Ideale per chi ha molti dati e vuole evitare HDD lenti e rumorosi.

Wszysko OK, dziękuję i pozdrawim. Pozdrawiam.

Orjinal ürün, Samgung Magician ile kontrol ettim. Sequential write yaparken transferin 80 GB'ının sonrasında hız 500-600 MB/s'lerden sabit 150-160 MB/s'lere düşüyor. Bunun sebebi SSD'deki cache'in dolmasıdır. SSD'ye data yazmaya çalıştığınızda data öncelikle SSD'deki DRAM'e yazılır ve bu çok hızlı gerçekleşir. Ancak DRAM hem kapasite olarak küçüktür hem de buradaki data constant electricity gerektirir, güç kesilirse data kaybolur. Dolayısıyla DRAM'deki datanın SSD'nin ana storage çipleri olan NAND'lere atılması gerekir. Bu SSD'de QLC NAND'ler var, 4 bit per cell, 1 bit per cell olan SLC'ye göre GB başına 4 kat daha ucuz gibi düşünebilirsiniz, ama bir dezavantajı var; QLC NAND'lere write yapmak biraz yavaş maalesef. Data en başta SATA interface'inin sınırı olan 500-600 MB/s hızlarında DRAM'e yazılıyor, sonra DRAM'e giden data gider gitmez hemen DRAM'den NAND'e aktarılmaya başlıyor, ama bu aktarım hızı 150 MB/s. Dolayısıyla DRAM, dolduğu hızdan çok daha yavaş bir hızla boşaldığından, zamanla tamamı doluyor ve data artık SSD'ye en fazla 150 MB/s hızla aktarılabilir hale geliyor. Bu DRAM exhaustion yaklaşık 80GB'lık transferden sonra oluyor. Transfer bittikten sonra birazcık beklerseniz DRAM tekrar boş hale gelir. Sequential read yaparken stabil 500-600 MB/s olsa gerek diye düşünüyorum, ama denemedim henüz. Random read 4KQ1T1 41 MB/s Random write 4KQ1T1 128 MB/s
