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

Faster loading for ps4 pro. Worth it. Very easy install.

I just installed it on my laptop. I am very impressed with the speed. My pc boots real fast unlike with my standard hard disk drive. Just install the Samsung Data Migration Tool. I dont know about the Samsung Magician yet though but you should install it according to Samsung website for updates purposes. Would highly recommend. I did a lot of research though before upgrading to make sure it will fit my 2.5 in hard drive bay, 9.5 mm, or 7.0 mm thickness, and most importantly, SATA 3 would be compatible with my laptop. With Gods blessing, research told me my old hard drives interface says SATA III.

I just had replace the old hard disk for a new one , it si working, so my laptop is working pretty good. I recommend it

Straight up. Everything so good so far. I shaved off some loading time.

This drive may be sufficient for any other usage but its not that good for use inside a Ps4 pro. This drive felt slow and only slightly faster than the standard 1TB HDD I swapped it with. Then I did some research on this drive and found out its low endurance rate and its low performance and endurance in comparison to the 870 EVO drive. A three year failure rate for this QVO drive is unacceptable quality IMO. Games take a very long time to install on a PS4 Pro. Cant be having failures in a hard drive.

I use this on my gaming pc and connect it using a SATA-to-USB cable. I was a bit concerned with this configuration as it’s not directly mounted in the box, but it works flawlessly! I ran some performance and speed tests against this drive compared to my internal drive, also an SSD, and they are actually quite similar. This drive has a slightly higher delay but that can be expected given how it is connected.

I bought this originally to install in an old iMac computer (but that was useless since the iMac is no longer supported). I will use it for my new Mac Mini external drive ;)

This thing is amazing. You can’t go wrong with a Samsung SSD and the speed will blow your mind. Windows updates that take hours on a traditional hard drive complete in minutes. It is fun to watch the disk access time when doing large installs or windows updates. Unless the queue depth is greater than one, the access times run around 1ms and the transfer rates are way faster too!

It does a good job for what its designed to do.

Every few months the hard drive just stops working and says the head drive needs to be reformated. Tried using recovery tools and nothing ever pops up and I end up needing to reformat it. Just to use it. Now I only use it for games I need a quicker load time for but I can just redownload if this happens.
