SeekerSamsung 860 QVO SSD
In the 2TB and 4TB capacities, this SATAa 6Gbps SSD is a lot cheaper than the competition. It’s also a very fast reader, and a fast writer—until it runs out of cache. At the 1TB level however, there are cheaper drives that don’t slow down even when writing large data sets.
