Samsung's 870 QVO writes at a rate of 490 MBps for 84GB, neck in neck with the competition until the before degrading to slower folding speeds. That 84GB of cache capacity actually slightly exceeds Samsung's specs. After the TurboWrite exhausts, the SSD's after-cache write performance degrades to an average of 172 MBps.

You're both right above. The drive gets around 490 MB/s for the first bit, then slows down to around 180MB/s after that.

Where did you read that? Almost every benchmark and test I've looked at it averaged around 490 for 4k which is well above most HDDs.....

Is anyone aware of a NAS or external enclosure (with RAID) that houses SSDs?

Any raid box or external nas that supports 8TB or more (which is most) and with a sata interface can handle these. Lots & lots of options that depend on whether you're looking at 2 bay or 5 bay, with its own full OS (like Synology) or basic. Just look for terms like "2 bay raid enclosure" or "2 bay NAS".

Yeah, I get that... I want something small. Drobo used to make something, but they don't make stuff any more.

8 TB written at a sustained rate of 172 MB/s is about 13 hours. Not too bad.

Very tempting at this price, my only drawback is the lack of future proofing with DirectStorage support in upcoming video games.

How do you get into EPP/EDU? I've got an id.me (govt) but can never get any of the good deals. Any tricks to get the epp/edu prices?

Register at Samsung.com with your work email ID and after you login, it will tell if you are EPP eligible or not.
