I would recommend this to a friend Samsung SSD 2.5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good.. I bought this for my laptop, the Lenovo Legion 540Y, I needed more storage space- documents and videos. I like the transfer speed, way faster than the 3.5 SATA hard drive. Purchasing value well I bought it during Black Friday so I did not pay full price so I would say that the price was fair. ( shrugging my shoulders)

Thank you for purchasing the Samsung 870 QVO SATA III SSD and for your review. Your 2TB drive was engineered to deliver speeds of up to 560MB/s Seq. Read and 530MB/s Seq. Write.
If you haven't done so already, you may want to use Samsung Magician to run Performance Optimization, ensure that your motherboard supports SATA III interface, check that all performance related settings are set correctly (cached enabled, AHCI enabled), and be sure you have the latest version of the driver.
As there are various factors that could affect speed, I would encourage you to call Samsung Customer Support if you need further assistance to troubleshoot your issue.

Good not perfect

I would recommend this to a friendDisappointing Performance and Short Lifetime
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I regret to say that my experience with the Samsung - 870 QVO 2TB was extremely disappointing. I purchased this SSD for my computer, and after only eight months of use, it suddenly died. Although the SSD still works and boots windows, it takes an excruciatingly long time, and the computer runs extremely slow. In the task manager, the DISK is always at 100%, which is unacceptable for a product that is supposed to enhance the performance of my computer. I am unsure if my specific purchase was faulty, or if the product is simply not reliable. This was my first time purchasing a 2TB SSD, and I will never make that mistake again. I have used Samsung SSDs for a long time, and until now, I have always been pleased with their performance. However, after this experience, I cannot recommend the Samsung - 870 QVO 2TB Internal SSD SATA to anyone. It is a waste of money and time. I did not report the issue or file a claim because it was eight months after I had bought the product, and it was easier for me to purchase a new 1TB drive. This SSD has been a complete disappointment, and I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere for a more reliable SSD for your computer. In summary, I would give the Samsung - 870 QVO 2TB a one-star rating, and I cannot recommend it to anyone.

Excellent budget SSD with TONS of space
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s said that when trying to increase the speed of your pc, the first and easiest thing to replace is the hard drive. And I agree. The 870 QVO SATA SSD is Samsung's budget level SSD with storage capacities up to 8 terabytes. It is a SATA interface drive which is limited to 600 MB/second transfer rates, unlike NVMe drives which can reach speeds of 3500 MB/second. While these numbers look good on paper, there are lots of variables and real-life scenarios to take into consideration. A quick google search will show many review sites with all the big test results and comparisons. In my opinion, from a consumer standpoint, the only thing that matters is how much faster the drive makes your computing experience. As with most SSD’s, the drive arrived with a multi-language manual that says to go to Samsung’s website for their drive magician and cloning software and some general installation pictures. You have to browse their site to find the software. Since I already had the drive and didn’t need to shop for one, I would have preferred a link that took me directly to the software page and download links. If you are replacing an existing drive you will need either a 2nd drive bay, data transfer cable such as https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apricorn-data-transfer-cable-gray/3459621.p?skuId=3459621 or external drive dock. Samsung’s cloning software worked well. Like most companies, it requires their brand drive to be present. Cloning my laptop hybrid drive to the new SSD took just over 20 minutes. Swapping the new SSD into my older Dell laptop was simple and only took about 10 minutes and the difference is amazing. If you are not planning on cloning your existing drive and want to install a fresh version of your OS, know that this drive comes completely blank and will need to be partitioned and formatted prior to using. Trying this, a clean install of Windows 10 home from a USB 3.0 thumb drive took less than 10 minutes in my I7 laptop with 16 GB of ram. My laptop now boots to Windows 10 home in about a minute compared to several minutes or more with the old hybrid drive. Programs launch almost immediately. I also have a similarly spec’d desktop PC that has an NVMe PCIe drive and in my use, the speeds and load times are too close to notice any significant difference. The Samsung Magician software shows drive information, details and benchmarks. It is also used to diagnose any issues your new SSD may have as well as secure erase and drive encryption if that’s something you need. My only negatives for this SSD are the warranty which is only three years vs the usual five years that most other manufactures offer and not having a direct link to the Samsung Magician and cloning software. I highly recommend the new Samsung QVO SATA SSD to anyone who is looking to speed up their computer and is limited by a SATA interface.
