Samsung 2.5” 4TB EVO or QVO for Mass Storage???

I was curious if Samsung’s 4TB EVO or QVO 2.5” ssd would be better for mass storage in a SFF Portable Build.

 

thanks in advance:

evo is almost always better than qvo, but qvo is cheaper. Its up to use if the extra cost is worth it and it depends on what your using it for aswell. The QVO drives will struggle under heavly writes much more than the EVO.

QVO drives will lose a lot of performance when cache gets full. EVO drives have less of that problem, they are using TLC or MLC (as opposed to QLC). Less bits to write, hence faster.

Definitely get the EVO. The QVOs have far less life (not to mention a shorter warranty) and slow down dramatically as they approach 50% full. There isn't all that much difference in proce between the EVOs and the QVOs.
