Our Verdict
The 870 QVO brings Samsung's reliability to the QLC tier, targeting budget-conscious buyers who prioritize capacity over sustained write performance. Sequential reads reach 560 MB/s and typical desktop workloads — OS boot, application launches, light file transfers — feel identical to the 870 Evo. The trade-off emerges in sustained write scenarios: once the SLC write cache is exhausted, speeds drop to the 80–150 MB/s range typical of QLC NAND. For a secondary storage drive, NAS cache, or a laptop upgrade where cost matters more than peak throughput, the 870 QVO delivers solid Samsung quality at a lower per-GB price than the Evo. Avoid it as a primary drive in workstations that regularly write large sequential files.
