All Samsung 860 QVO series drives are backed by a 3-year warranty. Samsung uses an advanced ECC algorithm that allows high endurance (Total Byte Written) ratings of 360TB on the 1TB drive, 720TB on the 2TB drive and 1440TB on the 4TB drive.

The engineers at Samsung wrote new firmware for the MJX controller to work work with their new V-NAND 4-bit MLC and it still supports features like Intelligent TurboWrite, AES 256-bit full disk encryption, TCG/Opal V2.0, Encrypted Drive (IEEE1667), TRIM, S.M.A.R.T. The Samsung MJX controller can support up to 8TB, so Samsung could introduce a larger 8TB QVO SSD down the road. The MJX controller is used on the 860 EVO and 860 PRO series and has been a successful SATA SSD controller since being introduced in 2017. A Samsung MJX controller with a dedicated DRAM cache takes care of all the heavy lifting. The 860 QVO is the very first client PC drive to use Samsung 64-layer V-NAND 4-bit MLC NAND Flash.
Let’s geek out for a little bit on the internals of the Samsung SSD 860 QVO sereis. Idle power with DIPM on is 30mW on each drive and average active power is up to 3.1 Watts. The good news is that these speeds on a QLC drive are pretty much identical to existing TLC drives. We’ve been close to the SATA III interface limits for years, so these numbers are expected. 4K Random QD1 performance on all capacities is also the same at 7,500 IPS read and 42,000 IOPS write. In terms of performance, the 860 QVO SSD series is rated up to 550MB/s for reads and up to 520 MB/s for writes regardless of capacity. Samsung firmly believes that the storage paradigm will shift back to all-in-one drive model.

These prices are still higher than using say a 256GB SATA SSD boot drive and a 2TB HDD for archive storage, but Samsung believes that the market is willing to pay a little extra as they don’t have to frequently switch data between the primary and secondary drive. The larger 860 QVO 2TB and 4TB drives have the same price per GB as they cost $299.99 and $599.99, respectively. The good news is that the Samsung 860 QVO 1TB SSD has a Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $149.99 or roughly $0.15 per GB. In order for that to happen the 860 QVO series needs to be rather inexpensive. The Samsung 860 QVO was brought to market to help eliminate the need to for PC users to rely on a combination of an SSD as the boot drive and a rotational hard drive for mass storage.
This SATA III 2.5-inch drive series is available in 1TB, 2TB and 4TB capacities and feature Samsung’s brand new high-density 4-bit multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash. Samsung launched a new consumer Solid State Drive (SSD) series today called the Samsung 860 QVO SSD.
