Samsung 870 QVO Internal SSD Reviews

Slow

By Rocco
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2025-01-22

The 8 TB version of these drives are pitifully slow. Like read speeds of 35 MB/s slow. Like that's slower than the 2.5, 5,400 rpm spinners they were supposed to replace. They are loaded in USB 3.2a enclosures and plugged into a Thunderbolt 4 hub, either my Mac's or my Thunderbolt dock. Other than for backup or archival drives, I'd steer clear of these. They're quiet, that's about the only good thing I can say about them.

DO NOT BUY

This drive worked great for about 2 months and then it wouldn't mount anymore. I reformatted it thinking it was a fluke. It was working again for a few months when I realized that the photos I was keeping on it were getting corrupted. Thankfully this was not the only copy of those photos. Shortly after I noticed the corruption, the drive would no longer mount. I tried multiple enclosures and it was dead. After a fiasco of getting through to the right department at Samsung, they did send me a replacement after about a month. I didn't even get to finish copying the photos onto the new drive and it errored out and would no longer mount. I asked Samsung to replace it with a different model and they would not. They also told me that the drive is supposed to be in a computer not an external enclosure. I couldn't be more angry. Almost $600 down the drain. They will be sending me another replacement, but how can I trust any of my data to it. I will never buy another Samsung SSD again.

Asked by: Dr. Garnet
You do not need to format the Samsung 8TB 870 QVO 2.5" SATA III Internal SSD before using it as an external drive. When using this drive as external storage, I'd recommend using an external enclosure like, B&H # ROGP36XX01.
