SAMSUNG 870 QVO SATA III SSD 8TB 2.5 Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade Desktop PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77Q8T0B

I tether it to my computers via a USB3 adaptor and can put it in my pocket and bring large video projects to my customers venues. 2T is a lot of content.

SATA SSDs are far from the fastest things out there, and QLC drives arent great for sustained write performance, but within its niche this is a fantastic storage drive for anything that is primarily read access. As a repository for Steam games its fantastic.

Pour un ordinateur qui se traine les pieds, changer le disque pour un SSD repousse de quelques années sa date dexpiration.

Clearly the technology has advanced. For 1/3 the cost I got 4 times the storage -- nine years later.

Big upgrade from my 2012ish dc powered 5Tb Seagate Backup Plus hard drive. Its quicker than they are but not as quick as I would like naturally. FASTER IS ALWAYS BETTER LOL. Im kidding I went with these because ssd is more reliable for external laptop usage and I really wanted an external ssd with 8TB under $1000 that can be raided in the future. This drive is still limited to usb 3.0 so new macs with thunderbolt 3 wont get that speed but its still usable for my usage. Video guys probably need a thunder bolt 3/4 capable dock with a bunch of raided M.2 PCle x4 Gen3 ssds for that super fast speed I originally sought after. At the time of writing this thunderbolt 3/4 nas or docks are few and far between. The m2 drives also a little too pricey for 8Tb versions, and youd need a few. These SSD are durable you take care of them. One of these 8TB stores my 3TB of data and the other as a Time Machine - backs up the 3TB the first initial time in like 6-8 hours but daily incremental changes now back up in like 3 minutes versus 25 minutes like before. I use my old 5TB hard drives as a water fall time machine now and I cant even get one initial backup to complete in daily use time of my laptop so I have to run it over night.

This SSD is the best upgrade you can do, for a pc/laptop that still has a HDD, its a day and night diference!, just wow. I highly recommended.

Went from a 1TB hard drive to this 4TB SSD. It was easy to install since it used the same connections. My load times went from minutes to seconds. It now takes me an average of 10-15 seconds from when I push my power button to when I’m actually on my desktop opening apps. Was one of the best things I’ve bought for my computer.

I was able to clone my smaller SSD drive and place the new drive in my laptop seamlessly.

Got this drive in the 2tb size to go in a high end gaming computer. The read and write rates are so fast, its perfect! Would highly recommend it.
