I went ahead and ordered this. Have one empty 2.5 slot available and less than $50 a TB seems like the best deal around. Don't want to deal with a noisy 2.5 HDD. Hopefully the cashback from the aforementioned site works (never used it before) but even if not, I think this should last me a little while.

My drive shipped today and the 10% ($36.2) CB tracked a few hours later. I used a $25 coupon, hence the lower CB.

Buyer beware.
Samsung quality and reliability .. but this is not just QLC, but QLC + SATA + early QLC. This drive doesn't even pretend to be fast. Read speeds are 'good' but writes are astonishing. I needed one of these for a work project where I needed 7TB of data in a micro PC format. It had a SATA slot and an NVMe slot. CDW only had this drive in stock, the out of stock 8TB was a sabrent for 1200 bucks. Went with the QVO.

Struggled to keep up with an S3 download on gigabit fiber. It wasn't the source or the machine; the drive was showing latencies > 500ms.

The main use case for this drive is to store large amounts of data once and just read it after that. So it would be perfect for saving your photo and video collection. I wouldn't use it where high speed writes are critical. Nothing else available for around $350 (with cb) in this price range that has faster writes. The best you can do is to buy two 4TB NVMe drives for around $400 and put them on a PCIe card.

Also, the biggest consumer 2.5" mechanical hard drive you can buy is only 5TB, so this is the best you can do if you want a 2.5" drive for use in an external case. I bought this to install in my desktop, but in the future if I switch to a laptop as my main machine, I can turn this into a USB powered 8TB drive.

Bought this drive to act as a cache for downloads/media playback on my server. This thing could hit my max speed (2.5Gbps) for a second and then it dipped down to an abysmal 20-30Mbps.

I think b/c of the the qlc it was slow and I replaced it with the Samsung tlc drive and speeds can now reach a sustained 2.5Gbps for as long as it needs. Not everyone is this use case but if you're thinking of using it for something similar I'd reconsider as others have mentioned

Logged into EPP and I see the $386.99 on the product page, but when I Add to Cart, my cart says $429.99. I go through the checkout process and says $464.99 after $35 taxes. Anyone else having this problem? What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Not sure what I did, but it's showing correct in My Cart now.

Thank you, in for 1. I had $9 in rewards which helped offset some of the taxes. Great for storing all my pics and GoPro travel videos.
