Absolutely, yes. The QVO has DRAM, the BX does not.

I looking start switching to using more SSD's for storage rather than HDDs like I mainly have now. 

I want to get a 2TB SSD for the bulk of my games as well as videos I edit. I was looking to get either a Samsung 2TB QVO ($229) or a Crucial 2TB BX SSD. ($199)

Is the extra $30 from the Samsung a big difference for loading games and editing videos from that drive?

Might as well just get a mx500 and have the advantage the qvo has of having dram PLUS faster storage. Should be the same price as a QVO from samsung.

Awesome thank you, I didn't even think about the part of it not having DRAM. I rather pay the extra bit for that feature.
