Premessa: è la prima ssd che compro, pertanto il giudizio può essere alterato da mancanza di confronti
Prodotto: viene fornito con una scatola minimal. Al tatto si presenta ben fatta. Dopo varie ricerche ho optato per Samsung, memore dell’esperienza avuta con i suoi hhd. L’ho utilizzata proprio per mandare in pensione un vecchio hhd Samsung che non mi ha mai dato nessun problema. Usato prima su un pc assemblato e poi su un server musicale. Non ho fatto test su trasferimento dati, ma l’ho da subito messa alla prova montandola sul server. Ho trasferito tutti i 500 gb di musica tramite rete cablata. Non ho riscontrato problemi di trasferimento. È inutile dirvi la fluidità del server, rinato. Al momento sono super soddisfatto del prodotto è spero non mi abbandoni nel tempo come il suo predecessore.

I upgraded my Lenovo Ideadpad S 145 with Samsung 870 QVO 1TB. It was really simple. I downloaded Samsung data migration software (From Samsung website). Thereafter, cloned the HDD to New SSD and replaced the same. It worked perfectly. Thanks to Samsung. I could do every thing of my own with out any assistance. Of course I took help from few YouTube videos to see how it can be replaced.

Parfait, duplication aisée. Un SSD SAMSUNG donc RAS, mon précédent avait 6 ans, je le change par sécurité. Grande confiance dans la marque. 1To c’est généreux pour un disque système, mais “trop fort n’a jamais manqué” dit-on dans la marine. Merci.

The drive performs as advertised. I installed it on my laptop, the drive speeds were great for a sata ssd. Only issue was that when I tried to register the product, it showed that it was out of warranty. Then I emailed the issue and samsung officials said product warranty is calculated based on purchase date and the warranty is covered for my unit.

This is for both the 4TB and 2TB models as I purchased both. For those looking to upgrade to a bigger internal drive in either, beware that the Xbox One will not support bigger than 2TB and the PS4 4TB respectively.
In terms of performance don’t expect instant loading for games/levels, but you should expect that they will load a damn sight faster than before. However the biggest benefit is noise reduction from each system, the PS4 Pro in my case ramps up on digital games regardless but is otherwise silent as any system can be. The Xbox One is the biggest benefit as it becomes damn near silent regardless, to the point if I wasn’t using it I would wonder if it was on as the original drive is just that noisy.
Regarding useable space The PS4 Pro gets 3.58GB with 4TB, The Xbox One gives 1.6TB over the paltry 840 – 860GB respectively. I would say that this is the best bang for buck upgrade, especially if you’re looking to preserve games on older consoles like me. With games like Forza horizon 2 and 3 either outright disappearing from the store or losing dlc as an example, this is probably the best option to keep them around as external storage either brake or get used for other things.

I had my doubts about the advertised speeds, since this uses QLC storage as opposed to TLC which you find in a regular SSD.
QLC is cheaper, and the only main disadvantage is that write speeds could be much slower, BUT ONLY AFTER you have written huge amounts of data. Although this wouldn’t be a problem in day to day usage as it would only happen after we exhaust its cache, and we normally won’t be continuously writing to the disk. The read speeds are not affected by this.
So naturally the first thing I did was run a few benchmarks, and try to figure out at which point the write speed would go down (It happened after around 40GB, for the 1TB model). But as you can see in the attached screenshot, it went back to normal speed after around 10 minutes by which time it had cleared its cache.

This SSD is super fast and has met my requirements (storing, moving and copying large video files ~ 2 GB each). The speeds are high and the product is reliable – so far no issues.
The SSD enclosure I use is not included.

If you are looking for a fast, reliable, and spacious solid-state drive (SSD) to upgrade your PC or laptop, you might want to consider the Samsung 870 QVO 1 TB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive. This SSD is the latest model in Samsung’s QVO series, which stands for Quality and Value Optimized. It offers a great balance of performance, capacity, and price for mainstream users who want to enjoy the benefits of SSD technology.
—Pros— +The Samsung 870 QVO has a sequential read/write speed of up to 560/530 MB/s, which is much faster than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) and comparable to some of the higher-end SSDs on the market. This means you can boot up your system, load applications, and transfer files in a matter of seconds. +The Samsung 870 QVO has a large capacity of 1TB, which can store plenty of games, photos, videos, and other files. You can also choose from other capacities ranging from 2 TB to 8 TB, depending on your needs and budget. +The 870 QVO has a long lifespan and reliability, thanks to its advanced QLC NAND flash memory technology and Samsung’s Intelligent TurboWrite technology. The SSD has a terabytes written (TBW) rating of 360 TB, which means you can write up to 360 TB of data before the SSD wears out. That’s equivalent to writing 98 GB of data every day for 10 years. +The Samsung 870 QVO is compatible with most PCs and laptops that have a SATA interface and a 2.5-inch drive bay. It also comes with Samsung’s Magician software, which helps you monitor the SSD’s health, optimize its performance, and update its firmware.
—Cons— -The Samsung 870 QVO is not the fastest SSD on the market, especially when it comes to random read/write speeds, which are more relevant for multitasking and heavy workloads. If you are looking for the best performance possible, you might want to consider other SSDs that use NVMe or PCIe interfaces, which are faster but also more expensive than SATA SSDs. -The Samsung 870 QVO is not the cheapest SSD on the market, either. You can find other SSDs that offer similar or slightly lower performance and capacity for a lower price. However, you might also compromise on quality and durability if you opt for cheaper SSDs from less reputable brands.
—Reasons to Buy— *You should buy the Samsung 870 QVO if you want to upgrade your PC or laptop with a fast, reliable, and spacious SSD that offers great value for money. You will notice a significant improvement in your system’s responsiveness, boot time, loading time, and overall performance. You will also enjoy more storage space for your files and less noise and heat from your system. *You should buy the Samsung 870 QVO if you are a mainstream user who mainly uses your PC or laptop for browsing the web, watching videos, playing games, or doing office work. *You will get enough speed and capacity for your everyday needs without breaking the bank.
—Reasons to Avoid— *You should avoid the Samsung 870 QVO if you are looking for the fastest or the cheapest SSD on the market. You might be disappointed by its random read/write speeds or its price tag compared to other SSDs that use NVMe or PCIe interfaces or that have lower quality and durability. *You should avoid the Samsung 870 QVO if you are a power user who frequently runs multiple applications or heavy workloads that require high performance and endurance. You might experience slowdowns or reduced lifespan of the SSD due to its QLC NAND flash memory technology and its limited cache size.
———-Conclusion———- The Samsung 870 QVO is a great SSD for upgrading your PC or laptop with a fast, reliable, and spacious storage device that offers great value for money. It is suitable for mainstream users who want to enjoy the benefits of SSD technology without spending too much or compromising on quality and durability. However, it is not the best choice for power users who need the highest performance and endurance possible from their SSDs.

Lent pour du SSD, il faut relativiser. Déjà, c’est un disque SATA, donc limité à 6 Gb/s. Dans la pratique, il sera sous les 600 Mo/s, en lecture comme en écriture. Pour comparaison, les disques magnétiques plafonnent plutôt à 120-150 Mo/s. Mais les SSD haut de gamme annoncent 5000+ Mo/s, et sont seulement 3-4x plus chers. Certains évoquent même 10 000+ Mo/s, mais c’est seulement pour les jeux, et dans des PC très récents. Et là, justement : c’est un SSD SATA, il va dans toutes les machines, même les très vieilles. Le SATA date de 2000, difficile de trouver une machine sans. Même sur une machine neuve, il est plus facile de trouver un connecteur SATA libre qu’un emplacement M.2 disponible.
Ce SSD exploite des cellules QLC : c’est plus capacitif, mais c’est lent, et l’endurance pêche un peu. Pour les petites écritures, pas de souci, on a bien les 550 Mo/s. Par contre, dès que le cache est dépassé, les performances s’écroulent au niveau du magnétique, voire un mauvais HDD. Testé sur 34 Go, pas de souci en lecture, 560 Mo/s soutenu. En écriture, c’est impressionnant dans les premières secondes, mais ça tombe vite à 110 Mo/s.
Par ailleurs, capacitif, mais pas tant que ça. La version 2 To coûte environ 100€. Le prix d’un HDD 5 To … Donc, pourquoi acheter ce SSD ? Comme disque principal, en remplacement d’un HDD. Au pire, les écritures sont aussi lentes, mais bien plus rapides dans l’usage général, et les lectures sont toujours plus rapides. Un SSD, même lent, écrase toujours un HDD. Attention toutefois, les écritures répétées l’useront plus vite que des disques MLC. Mais il tiendra probablement des années, il faut juste surveiller les indicateurs d’usure. Comme disque capacitif dans un portable, ou comme disque externe. Pas de pièces mécaniques, donc résiste bien aux secousses.

If u have a very low configuration system this will improve your boot time by a lot, I am running Windows 11 beta build and i am getting boot time of 25-40 seconds with everything installed. I am getting raw read and write speed of 270 MB/s . A SSD sould be put in every system it insanely improves your pc or laptop. 500 GB one should do it if u just wanna work on the device but i got lots of softwares installed so i got the 1TB one and I can confirm the experience is very smooth.

I bought it for my i7 desktop that I built in 2012, replacing my aging twin Barracuda HDDs. These SSDs are truly fast, ultra silent and value for money. If you won’t tell Samsung, I dropped one of them while opening the package and it works beautifully with no damage.
