SAMSUNG 860 QVO 1TB Solid State Drive (MZ-76Q1T0B/AM) V-NAND, SATA 6Gb/s, Quality and Value Optimized SSD

I bought this when, recently, my PS4 Hard Drive went out. These are very easy to install and the SSD have nice speed. This is not the fastest SSD out there but its the best one per value you can get for the PlayStation. I would buy again if needed another one.

This thing is insanely small. It weighs almost nothing, and it’s about the size of a fist. However, it does it job, and does it well. As expected for an SSD, it reads and writes pretty fast, ans my PC runs quite smoothly off of it (my operating system is on this SSD). It uses SATA power and SATA data, which makes it easy to connect to my PC. It’s reasonably priced as well. Love this thing.

Product itself is good but it did not come with cloning softwares not Instruction.

I read through the comments and it looks like this device used to come with cables and now it doesnt. Nor, is it a standard cable you may have lying around your house. The seller should note it does not come with cables in the description.

I purchased 3 Samsung 860 QVO 1TB 2.5 inch SATA III Internal SSD drives with 3 Inateck 2.5 Hard Drive Enclosures, FE2004. After loading the drives into these cases, I discovered that 2 of the 3 failed to boot-up. And after switching cases with the one drive that appeared to be OK, we decided that the drives and not the cases were defective. These enclosures might work, for now, but they are made of super-thin plastic and have no power switch. So I am returning everything to Amazon tomorrow.

This is a review of the Samsung 860 QVO 1TB SSD. I am using this as the primary storage on an older Lenovo laptop, replacing a traditional laptop drive. I installed CentOS 8 as the OS and use the machine for testing, software development and miscellaneous tasks such as web browsing and watching movies on Netflix/Amazon. Installation was fairly trivial but will vary by laptop. The Lenovo recognized it properly and I was able to install CentOS without any significant issues. Boot time shrank from about 35s to about 5s. After login, though I hadnt upgraded anything else (memory, for example) everything was noticeably faster. Apps launched quickly without that half-second pause on opening initial menus, etc.. I ran a software compile (OpenCV) and it completed in about 4 minutes versus about 20 on the previous drive. This is not the fastest drive out there or the largest, but its a good price/performance ratio. For an older laptop its an excellent upgrade.

My original HD was 500GB and it was bursting at the seems. The PC was slow and I hated it. I installed the 1TB Samsung SSD and it is night and day. I should have done this long ago.

I installed two of these in my old desktop that worked fine but was running out of storage. Easy to install and migrate old drive over using their utility. No need to reinstall Windows! My computer is like new.

This is a 2.5” SSD for installation inside a laptop, desktop, or external drive shell. SSD means Solid State Drive, a kind of drive which has no moving parts, so it’s more robust than a standard mechanical hard drive with its rotating disks. An SSD drive also runs quite a bit faster than a mechanical hard drive. This drive has a rated read speed of 550 MB/s and a write speed of 520 MB/s. The drive has a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, which helps ensure fast data transfer. It is also compatible with both with SATA 3 Gb/s and SATA 1.5 Gb/s. So this drive can be installed in any Windows or Linux (eg Ubuntu) computer that can take 1Tb or bigger drives, from WinXP-Win10; it might also work in Apple computers if you know how to install non-Apple drives in them. The drive can also be used as an external with an external drive shell, dock, or cable (sold separately). The drive has a LPDDR4 DRAM cache and is rated for 0.3 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day), or 300GB a day. Samsung provides a 3-year warranty for this drive. The letters QVO in the product name stand for “Quality and Value Optimized”. This drive uses a special type of data storage called QLC for (quad level cell flash). This enables the drive to store more data in less space, giving your more storage space for a lower price. There is a trade-off, however. And that is that under continuous random read conditions, effective read speed drops to about 100 MB/s. SSDs that use more traditional storage technologies will have faster read times (like 3 times faster!). Sequential read times are not affected by this limitation, so any slow down would most likely be noticed in apps (like games) rather than reading media. So this drive is better at media storage than running apps. But even so, this drive is faster than a mechanical hard drive. I got this drive for a new custom system I was building for photography. I planned to use the drive to store apps while continuing to store big data (hundreds of thousands of photos and music, over 8 Tbs) on large capacity external mechanical drives. I tried the drive in the new computer, and performance seems fine for this use. But I decided to switch out this SSD for a faster one (with lower storage capacity). Instead, I put the drive into my laptop, where it is a fine solution—it provides excellent local storage capacity for both apps and media all in one drive, with a faster speed than I could ever get from a mechanical drive. This is my first Samsung hard drive, so I don’t have any experience yet with hard drive reliability with this brand. Overall, this is a great choice for a do-it-all drive, a single drive for storing both apps and lots of data, that works much faster than a mechanical drive without breaking the budget. It will be faster than a mechanical drive, but if you need to do a lot of heavy random reading (gaming), a drive based on a different storage technology might prove faster.
