Samsung 860 QVO

As is stands, there’s no hugely compelling reason to buy the 860 QVO over rival SSDs – even Samsung’s own. Moving to the new tech was supposed to be more cost-effective but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Performance is great but this drive will be far more appealing in the larger 2- and 4TB capacities.
