Allyn Malventano from PC Perspective has reviewed the new QVO budget SSD lineup from Samsung. The particular SSD drives being reviewed today are the Samsung 860 QVO 1TB ($150) and 4TB ($600). The review starts off with the read performance in the Burst 4KB Random testing showing half of the performance of a Samsung 860 EVO, but the drives were quite "average" for the rest of the testing. Check out the review to see how the Samsung QLC product lineup fared during testing. Now we're talking! 15 cents per GB MSRP for *any* decent SSD is certainly music to my ears. Sure the performance is not Pro-like, but at those prices, it's not hard to justify some concessions. I would like to see caching performance improve on that 4TB model though, and if Samsung hopes to push more QLC product, they will need to improve those low QD random read latencies.
