Super slow in moving large amounts of data, things like cloning. Took 39 minutes to clone a 220GB system drive to it, vs 11 minutes for a MX500.

QLC is 4 bits per cell. It means that Samsung needs only 4 trillion physical cells to make a 2TB drive, whereas a mainstream TLC (3-bit) drive will need 5.3 trillion physical cells to make a 2TB drive. So it's slightly cheaper to manufacture.
The problem is that 4-bit QLC requires twice the electrical precision as 3-bit TLC (need to discern 16 voltage states vs. 8). This means that the cells are more fragile (lower longevity) and need more care when reading and especially when writing (slower).
The trouble with stuffing more bits into a cell is that the benefit is linear (+1 bit each level), but the downside is exponential (double the electrical precision each level).
No, it's not MLC. Okay, fine, technically, the M in MLC is "multi", so 2-bit MLC, TLC, and QLC are technically all forms of MLC. But 99% of the time, when someone says MLC, they mean 2-bit MLC, and there is one major SSD manufacturer (starts with Sa, ends with ng) whose marketing department purposefully muddies the water and uses "3-bit MLC" instead of "TLC" and "4-bit MLC" instead of "QLC", to capitalize on the fact that when people search and look for the "MLC" keyword, they're expecting 2-bit. No other major SSD brand pulls this kind of bullshit.

but when I was confirming the total after putting in my payment info, I was surprised to see that the discount had been removed.
I finished the job for them and removed it from my cart.

EDIT:
Just checked my email and the promo code and SSD are in the mass email Newegg ad they sent out to everyone at 4am.
All 5 accounts got it, so not some random code that only a few get.
It might not have been active yet for some since email was just sent out?
