The Samsung 870 Qvo is one of the best large-capacity SATA SSDs, offering up to 8TB of storage in a classic 2.5-inch form factor. It normally retails for around £452, but now it’s 10% off, bringing it to the lowest price we’ve seen on Amazon UK: £408. That’s a great price for a tonne of game and media storage.
Get the Samsung 870 Qvo 8TB SATA SSD for £408 (was £452)
We reviewed the Samsung 870 Qvo back in 2020 in its significantlysmaller 1TB iteration, and even then this drive offered a huge amount of storage with impressive longevity (2880TBW for the 8TB size) and a three-year warranty. That makes it a good choice for long-term storage of games and media, but its read/write speeds are also reasonable for a SATA SSD, with its QLC NAND not proving a massive hindrance outside of scenarios where you’re constantly writing data to the drive.
Overall, this is a good option for anyone that likes to keep a lot of games installed at once and doesn’t want to wait a long time for them to load (or deal with the hassle of copying them from a mechanical HDD to an SSD when they’re needed). It’s also a good choice for replacing larger HDDs for media storage, something I’ve done myself to get rid of the annoying clicking sound and slow access times HDDs are known for.
