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.....

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.

Can confirm this fits in 'small' sata ssd mounts that were previously indicated only for 2TB and below. Specifically, it can fit in Beelink MiniPCs that specify 2TB max drive size due to assumed drive height. It's working great in the Beelink, 10TB computer that's only 8x5x4.5"

8TB network transfer averaged 300-450mbps. I didn't notice it throttle down at any point.

Is anyone aware of a NAS or external enclosure (with RAID) that houses SSDs?
That's what I am using with. Got a QNAP-TS-532X abroad shipped to us for less than $350 total. Filled it with 4T & 8T SSDs. Very happy...

It's amazing that we're getting to that point where 8TB of solid-state is actually realistic. I can toss on my Steam library and the days of RAID WD Raptors at 10K are long gone.

2TB SSDs are down to $59 so 2TB x 4 =8TB. $59 x 4 = $236 so an 8TB price should be around this price. Why is this "deal" still so woefully overpriced? Someone tell Samsung to stop ripping people off already especially on a shitty QLC drive.

In the Google data center the U.2 drives are up to 64-128TB. Samsung demonstrated 32TB SSD drives back in 2015 and said in news stories they should be available to consumer within a year or two so 8TB is nothing and we should have had it back in 2016-2017.
