Samsung apparently plans to launch the 870 QVO SSD series as the successor to the 860 QVO. The US retailer Amazon has meanwhile listed four models with 1, 2, 4 and 8 TB storage capacity at prices from 130 to 900 US dollars.

the drives are from Samsung’s QVO line so they have QLC nand flash 

 

1 2 and 4 tb will be available at the end of June. the 8 tb variant is probably going to be available in august 2020

The SSDs with 1, 2 and 4 TB are to be delivered from the end of June 2020, the 8 TB version will follow in August 2020. German market prices should be based on those of the current SSD 860 QVO series

own thougts: it’s really huge and I ask myself what is considered a „consumer „ product because also a lot of professionals could use the product 

 

its my first tech news post so I might make a lot of mistakes

The first end-user SSD with 8TB already exist in the form of the Sabrent Rocket Q 8TB NVMe SSD

Well I didn’t knew of that

Can it really be classed as "consumer" if it costs $4billion?

899 isn't that much. But as a QLC it kind of sucks

for 50$ less you can get the Micron 5200 instead.

Or for 1999 for the Sabrent rocket SB-RKTQ-8TB

Well, very good covering up to such capacity. They're covering pretty much every range performance and capacity with upcoming SSDs thos year. Though it will be a while before multi-TB SSDs become common. I mean not even HDDs are yet.

It's SATA, unfortunately, but it could be great as the modern-day secondary storage or backup drive.

 

Right now, getting an 8TB single-volume SSD with full NVMe performance generally means getting something like a Mac Pro or MacBook Pro.

NVMe M.2 SSD 2280 key... 8TB 3300/2900 read/writes... Could throw this into any modern motherboard, Intel or Ryzen, and you have a single-volume SSD with 8TB of capacity and full NVMe speed.

Sabrents are a little.... iffy.  At best.  You'll probably be OK with it, unlike a Samsung (of the same size) that you'd definitely be OK with.  It's curious why Sammy hasn't done a dual-sided NVMe drive yet of either 4 or 8TB?  Why is Sabrent the trail blazer here with no one following behind them?  You have to scratch you head and say, "Hmm..."

[jagdtigger]

Wake me up when it goes under 400$..... At its current price i would rather get 3 or 4 8TB HDD and put them in raid5.

Just wondering why you think Sabrents are iffy at best?  I'm maybe considering getting one of their Rocket (not Q) SSDs, probably 2TB, and am wondering if they're proving to be unreliable (as in dying prematurely), or really slow for large file transfers (like if you're copying like 1.5 to 1.8 TB to it in one operation it slows to like 100 or 300 MB/s after several hundred MB), or is there some other issue?  (Others on my shortlist, same capacity, include Corsair MP510, HP EX950, Mushkin Pilot-E, WD SN750, XPG SX8200 Pro, and maybe Patriot VPN100 but I have my doubts about its heatsink fitting in my laptop.)
