SSD-like performance
The SSD 870 QVO is identical to its predecessor, the 860. We find ourselves with exactly the same design, therefore, always with a standard size of 2.5 inches to be able to slip into the bowels of a fixed PC as well as a laptop -except for the ultrabook-. However, it is different from its big brother, because being part of Samsung’s second generation of QLC SSDs, the 870 QVO offers random speed and improved performance. Thus, it allows to obtain a maximum transfer speed of up to 560 MB/s in reading and 530 MB/s in writing. It is therefore 10 MB/s more than the 860 QVO.
This new model also incorporates the new TurboWrite technology, which accelerates write speeds and maintains high performance in the long run thanks to a larger buffer. Not to mention the fourth generation of V-NAND memory, which is there to increase endurance, speed, and reduce overall power consumption.
