The Samsung QVO 8To SATA SSD at €431
The Korean manufacturer offers its consumer 2.5-inch SATA SSDs from the 870 QVO range in 1/2/4 and 8 TB. These SSDs embed V-NAND 3D QLC flash memory, offer speeds peaking at 560 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write (i.e. speeds close to the maximum possible in SATA 6 Gb/s and largely sufficient for many uses), a three-year warranty and a TBW (for Terabytes Written) of 2880.
This SATA SSD can be placed in an old MacBook, in a PC, or in an external box that accepts SSDs in 2.5-inch format.like this Sabrent model at 11,22 eurosor this Ugreen model at 18,89 euros (coupon to be checked) if you prefer a USB-C model (compatible with 7 mm thick SSDs – the Samsung is 6.80 mm – with a USB-C to USB-C cable). If you want higher speeds, you will have to switch to an NVMe SSD like the Crucial X8 currently benefiting from an interesting promotion (1 To, 1 050 Mo/s à 83,39 euros), or the Samsung T7 (1 TB at 93,74€).
