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.

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?

"Winter Game Sale" or "Fun for the holidays"

As a test, just clicked the "GET PROMO CODES IN YOUR INBOX" at top of link to see if another new account would get code in time and if so, will update post.
EDIT: Make sure you are logged out of Newegg. Got the welcome email and clicked in that email the bottom link, "Latest Email Deals", which brought me to the deal page with code for this deal. Didn't finish setting up new account linked to the new email, so don't know if it went all the way through to checkout. But new email is now subscribed and includes link to deal code, so might work.
Order total with coupon was 136.56 with FL taxes
Not bad for a decent SSD. This will be my gaming SSD. So there shouldnt be that much writes to the QVO nand.
I trust Samsung brand even do its QVO

Consider what will happen when we get to 5-bit MLC. Wouldn't that also be "QLC," but with the "Q" representing "Quint", instead of "Quad"?
