Deal | Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SSD is still extremely cheap on Amazon
Traditional SATA SSDs are certainly too slow to be used as a primary drive in modern PCs, but these 2.5-inch drives still serve their purpose as they can be used as a secondary or even external storage solution that is a bit more robust than a spinning hard drive. Therefore, a current Amazon deal for the Samsung 870 QVO with 4TB arguably deserves some attention.
The largest online retailer in the world is currently selling the second most-spacious model variant of the 870 QVO for US$204 including free shipping, which constitutes a steep discount of US$226 or more than 50 percent relative to the 4TB SSD's official MSRP of US$429. Bargain hunters who are comfortable with buying from a marketplace seller can currently save another dollar. More importantly, Camelcamelcamel's price history illustrates that this deal offers one of Amazon's lowest prices ever and comes within a few bucks of the Samsung SSD's all-time low, which was last recorded in July 2023.
Like all 2.5-inch SSDs, the Samsung 870 QVO has fairly pedestrian sequential reading speeds of up to 560 MB/s, while sequential writing takes place at up to 530 MB/s. Furthermore, the 4TB solid-state drive is supposed to endure 1,440 TBW according to the official spec sheet, which also mentions a MTBF of 1.5 million operating hours as well as a limited three-year manufacturer warranty. Admittedly, much faster PCIe 3.0 storage modules with the same capacity are available at similar or even lower prices nowadays, but shoppers who are specifically looking for a SATA SSD are getting a decent deal on Amazon right now.
